2011 NFL Point Spread Picks Week 10
Pick 1: Buffalo +5.5 
Pick 2: Tennessee +3.5
Pick 3: Washington +4
Pick 4: Green Bay -13.5
Last week the picks went 2-3. No, I have not given up, never! It's been crazy traveling and I missed the boat on the Thursday game. Thanks to all for the encouragement. Look for some serious ROI starting now and throughout the playoffs. We have a lot of ground to catch up. This does not mean we're going to put all the eggs in one basket though. We continue to use a percentage of bankroll for each week, minimizing the chance of bankruptcy while optimizing ROI. Go Bears!
This week we'll stay at 18% of bankroll (and stay there for the next 2 weeks). Giving us $120 per game for a total of $480.
Here are the NFLpickles free point spread picks for Week 10 of the 2011 NFL season.

Comments
Saints +1, Rams +3, Bills +5.5, Giants +3.5, Buccaneers +3, and Panthers -3
By the way, I developed an algorithm that handles multiple simultaneous bets using the Kelly Criterion. Here's a short write up explaining the idea. It's a different approach to your allocation, but I believe closer to the main idea of the Kelly Criterion. Only useful if you believe your confidence is accurate over a relatively short timeline.
Good luck this week.
