NFL Point Spread Picks Week 14 - 2013

Pick 1: Carolina +4 incorrect NFL point spread pick
Pick 2: Oakland +2.5 incorrect NFL point spread pick
Pick 3: Kansas City -3 correct NFL point spread pick

A great rebound last week to put us finally on positive ROI! First week this year without a pick with over 60% confidence. In other words, all picks are highlighted in yellow. Also this week has all picks for road teams. We're going with the 3 picks listed above without much other further analysis. I did check injury reports, but sometimes they are not updated on Tuesday nights. So please let me know if you see something regarding injuries that you think I should be aware.

I was going to up the percentage to 20 this week, but given that none of the picks are over 60% I'll stick to 18 until we get to the playoffs. For week 14 of the NFL, we have a total of 3 predictions for a total of $615 per game. Here are the NFL picks against the spread for week 14 of 2013. Two weeks of picks left before the playoffs since we're on vacation that week :)

How to read the table:
  • Vegas Line: A NEGATIVE number implies the point spread favors the HOME team
  • Estimate: NFL Pickles' point spread prediction
  • Pred-Vegas: Subtraction of the previous two. POSITIVE implies VISITING team will cover point spread.
  • Confidence: The probability that the point spread pick is on the correct side.
