Line value compares the number we logged with the closing line, the last number before the game. Beating it over many picks is the more honest sign of skill; a win-loss record over a few dozen picks is mostly luck.

Game calls

Every game gets three calls (winner, spread, over/under), even games with no pick. They are graded on the final score; they are not bets.

Yardsticks: favorites won 92% of these games, so picking every favorite would have called the winner that often; spreads and totals need about 52.4% to break even at usual prices.

Questions

How are the NFL picks made?

A computer program compares its own numbers for each game with the DraftKings line, using rules that were written down and dated before they made a single pick. A pick is logged only when the gap is big enough; Strong means a bigger gap than Neutral. Each card names one Top pick and a 2nd choice by a fixed rule.

How have the NFL picks done so far?

13-9 over 22 graded picks (59% of decided picks won), and 27% beat the closing line. Every pick stays on the record, losses included.

Should I bet on these picks?

This site is research and entertainment for adults 21 and older, not advice. Most bets lose money, no method here has a proven edge over the betting market, and sports betting is not legal everywhere. If you bet, only bet what you can afford to lose. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-MY-RESET (national helpline) or 1-800-GAMBLER (California).

Where do the lines come from?

The DraftKings lines as ESPN shows them on its public pages, saved by our own recorder every 15 minutes. Lines move, so always check the current price.
