Skillbet NFL 'Puter' Picks Chart Defined (Page 3)

Again the numbers don’t have any real meaning it is simply the slant of the line. As you may guess by restricting your bets to these situations there will be few betting opportunities during the season. It is even restricted more because the sample doesn’t get significant until after game 3, and anytime there is an injury to the QB the game should be avoided, even if the bet is on the other side. (It seems that Backup QBs have a perchant for having the game of their career.)

To the right is an example of the weekly output during Week 6 of last years 2004 NFL season ....

This was not a normal week. It actually produced six BETs. Normal is only two or three BETs per week. I selected it because it had both Favorites and Dogs. Time permitting, I will post the results of as many years as possible before 'puter' starts making predictions.
