NFL Picks: Week 8

Last week: 6-8, making me 47-53-5 on the season. That’s 47% correct against the spread for the season. I don’t think I’ll be taking over the gambling prognostication world anytime soon.

Steelers lose, my 11 Points streak ends, and I was at the bottom of my Pick ‘Em league. That said, a sample isn’t statistically significant until you have an N […]
