The last few weeks have been a reminder of some of the little nuances of the NFL that make it so damn watchable.
I want to talk about New Jersey... nay, we _have_ to talk about New Jersey.
It's Thanksgiving week, which means 3 Thursday night games that could potentially be upsets.
We did it! We have reached the midpoint of the 2017 NFL season. But, more specifically for this column, we have reached the midpoint of our 'Rebound Season.'
Ahoy there, it's time for this week's upset watch, where we... watch.. for...
Ah the vagaries of the NFL. No sooner had we cracked the 'everything is completely random and any team can beat any other' code for 2017, than we have a solid week for favorites again.
If there is one singular trend that I follow on a weekly basis, it is the collective overreaction to games that went in our favor, but against the general expectations from a previous week.
Wait, we're not going with all one word? But I thought... so it's just 'Upset Watch' right? Not upsetwatch? Alright... whatever...
As we have come to learn over recent weeks, there is still a fair amount of ‘reactionary spreads,’ in which the number is chasing a team that it consistently has missed
Last week we began Upset Watch, in which I arbitrarily rank the games of the week based on the likelihood of an upset. That's why it's called... well you get the idea.
I was prepared to write about how quickly the first quarter of the season has gone, already. How a new year of football brought a new year of opportunities
Hello hello hello. It's been a busy start to the year at Pickwatch, especially behind the scenes.
It should have ended in Week 2. It didn't. Let's be thankful. There is nothing more important in determining picks against-the-spread than perception, and overreactions are the typical driving force. Normally, they fizzle out after a second game
Former NFL expert pick'em champions John Halpin (Foxsports.com) and Josh Katzowitz (CBS, Forbes) have joined the NFL Pickwatch team for 2017
As you can see we've improved a few areas of the site, but one of our most frequently asked questions is of course 'when are the picks updated?'
It's that time of year again where we ask you to make your picks again, but guess what? This year, there's even more reason to join the thousands who do so
Another season draws to a close, and it's been an interesting one for us here at Pickwatch.
It's always good when we get to this part of the season and the best teams have made it through to the two title games.
We're doing pretty well with picks this playoffs, but then so is everyone else. We're not the only ones with a 100% record because most games have gone toward the favorites. Will that happen in the two most tricky games to pick in this postseason?
Last week we delved into some wild card stats and came up with a 4-0 week. Alright, that wasn't necessarily the toughest slate of games we'll ever pick, but still... let's do it all again for the divisional round.
Continuing our Wild Card Preview, let's take a look at how the 4 teams playing on Sunday fared vs the expert consensus and look for any patterns or trends that we can use to make our picks this week.
Wild Card Weekend means A few extra stats, so here they are for your perusal before you make your picks...
And now, the end is near...
In one fell swoop, the rug was pulled from under the feet of the entire football-watching world. Only, unlike previous weeks, there were more feet standing on the rug. More feet to be tripped. Coincidence? Of course not
We are reaching the point of no return. It is make-or-break time.
Believe it or not, it began as expected. The tide slowly - and subtly - began to shift.
We are about to reach a tipping point. It may not happen this week, _precisely_, but it's coming.
Don’t take my word for it; see for yourself
Every now and then, I like to write 'properly' about the NFL on Pickwatch
The improbable continues to transition to reality.
When it comes time for you to follow someone’s advice with your money on some weekend betting action I would recommend going with the guys who make their living and pay their mortgages based on what they do and do not know about football
We pick ourselves up and dive right back into the action. After our worst week of the season for picks against the spread, we are fully prepared to get back on the field and right some wrongs. We aren't the only ones to be doing so.
2016 Week 5 Free NFL Picks and Week 6 College Football Picks (all picks against the spread)
Not _quite_. After proclaiming in our Week 4 column that underdogs had become over-extended and favorites were about to reclaim some of the glory, the shift occurred. Only in the wrong places
This week we've been busy as always, entering somewhere around 10,000 pieces of data into our system so that you can compare and contrast experts across pick'em, ATS, fantasy football, power rankings and college football
We love trends, and two appear to be developing in front of our eyes
Every week you'll see a bunch of picks in our table that are predicated on picking based on statistics
Each week, we look for opportunities to buy or sell teams based on misaligned spreads
