NFL Point Spread Picks Week 8 - 2013
Pick 1: Denver -13 
Pick 2: Atlanta +2.5
Pick 3: Kansas City -7
Last week could have gone better had I checked the injury report. Philadephia should not have been a pick given Vick was out. I'm still banging my head for not seeing that. It's easy to say in retrospect but if we stick to the original rules, that game should have not been a pick regardless of the outcome. In either case, we came out evenly so no big harm done. The next few weeks we need to break away from breaking even and start accumulating to our bankroll.
Few things I like about this week's picks. 1) I like Denver and believe they will bounce back big at home from a loss, 2) KC can score big at home and cover 7. After the fact observations, entertaining nevertheless.
We up the bankroll a bit to use 18% of bankroll for this week. For Week 8 we have a total of 3 NFL game picks so we bet evenly across all games, $600 per game. Here is the full computerized predictions for week 8 of the NFL against the spread.

Looks like your week 9 picks are the same as week 8?
Don't think Denver is playing this week, they have a bye?
Just saying.
