I'll spare you this week of made up match-up descriptions, my gift to you these holidays :)
Your bankroll is your greatest asset, preserve it. But as the end of the season approaches and the return is up at 62%, we'll upgrade the bankroll for the coming weeks and the playoffs. This week, 22%. Three games = $125/gm. I'm on vacation (but still had some time to continue providing you with computer based NFL picks). Enjoy your holidays and Merry Christmas.

My own system which i've been modeling all season (using methods similar to yours) predicts philly to beat denver by roughly 8 points, and New England to beat jacksonville by almost exactly 7 points (the oakland pick is good though, I have them up by 4).

My favorite is KC +13.5 (I like +14 even better, wish I'd picked earlier).
Anyway, Merry Christmas.

I've been out of the loop for so long now, but I still check-in at least once a week.
I really really don't like the Broncos pick.. based purely off the numbers since I don't get to watch any more.
NE seems tight and Oak seems good.

dtBy, good to hear from you. Happy Holidays to you. DEN will win and enter the playoffs (even though the prediction is 3 for PHI). NE seems tight, but they'll win by 10. They haven't clinched yet right? Miami has the tie-breaker?
