2010 Divisional Playoff Picks
Pick 1: Baltimore +3 
Pick 2: Chicago -10
Pick 3: Green Bay +2.5
Last week was awesome, not only the games but the predictions. NFLpickles pick went 4-0 and an official 2-0. This week my favorite bet is Baltimore. I think they will straight up. Green Bay is underrated. I ran the model and eliminated the data that Aaron wasn't playing. I have them also winning the game. The spread was initially at 2, now at 2.5, might consider waiting 'till 3 or buying the half point. Chicago's bet I am not so sure about. Maybe it's the feelings one gets by living in the city. Everyone is very skeptical, but I'm sticking to stats here and the prediction is that they will blowout Seattle, we'll see.
Using 25% of bankroll, gives us a $200 bet per game. Good luck and go Bears! Below is the table of all 2010 NFL Divisional picks against the point spread.

Comments
Anyway, this week, the only pick for me that reached the significance threshold was the Bears -10, so we're in agreement there.
