NFL Spread Picks 2012 Week 3
Pick 1: Green Bay -3
Pick 2: Chicago -7
Pick 3: Oakland +3.5
Thanks for all the encouragement after missing last week's picks. Although we don't fully start counting results until week 5, I've never missed a week in 5 years. Last year was tough but I shouldn't give up and I won't. We've had great years too. I'm changing a few things on the algorithms which will be back-tested and hope to find one that's more successful. I'll try to publish these NFL spread picks a lot sooner than Saturday night in the coming weeks.
This week two NFC North teams come out as having great chances of winning against the spread. I of course like the Chicago pick, go Bears, and if Green Bay's defense looks as solid as last Thursday then I'm confident we'll get at least 2 of 3. Final pick is Oakland underdog at home. That's enough bla, bla, bla which we'll be seeing less of and just concentrate on providing
