NFL has been as solid as I can remember this season. Plays are 14-3-1 or 82%!!! Top 5 contest picks are 23-10-2 or 69.69%!!! and in the contest where I pick every game against the spread I sit at 61-47 or 56.48%.
Like I said it does not get much better then this:) Today I have sent out 1 play to subscribers. And have also sent out all roadmaps for this week on every game.
In the roadmaps I discuss the various factors of each game with a discussion of how they interrelate. For those doing their own handicapping this is invaluable.
My 5 Contest picks this week are:
New Orleans +1.5
Pitt +10.5
Detroit +3.5
Green Bay +10.5
Cleveland +3
The Westgate top 5 went 2-3 last week bringing its record to 22-13. This is by far the best year I have seen since I have been following it. Typically it has been a money making proposition to fade the top 5 in this contest. But so far not this season:)
The Westgate top 5 this week is:
NE
Tenn
Ariz
LV
Clev
I am with the top 5 on Cleveland and fading LV with NO.
It is clear to me the games are getting a bit tougher to handicap as we hit week 8:)
In MLB we started out winning with a win in game 1 of the world series with Phil +146
And in NCAA FB after a fast start, we have settled back down with two losing weeks in a row.
We sit at 22-16-1 for sides. Which is a solid 57.89%. But the totals this season have been 0-3. So we
find ourselves at +1.10 units in College football combining the two.
The NHL and NBA have not kicked in yet. Typically early in the season there are no plays until some kind of
history is set up in the databases for the season. I expect those to kick in soon.
I have been doing this now online for 20+ years, and enjoy the handicapping as much now as when I started posting. While many handicappers have trouble keeping subscribers, I have had subscribers that have been with me since day 1:)
In addition, I try to keep finding ways to add value. The latest is the addition to my stock and option trades on my Slack channels. This has been a big success. As I am +EV on these trades with the drawdowns minimal.
Finally, we are heading into the midterms. I have shared on slack my thoughts of where the value was at. And in virtually every instance the lines have moved substantially in the direction I have projected. I will post today or tomorrow on where I think things are heading into the midterms, and where I think there may still be value.
It is not too late to join us. The cost is only $49.00 a month, and it has a 3 day free trial. Instead of paying a large lump sum for each sport, the subscription is month to month and covers every sport I handicap, including my stock and option trades.
One of the best values around.
Hope to see you join us.
