NFL Point Spread Picks - Thanksgiving Week

Pick 1: Indianapolis -4.5 correct NFL point spread pick
Pick 2: Carolina -8 correct NFL point spread pick
Pick 3: Cincinnati +2 correct NFL point spread pick
Pick 4: Arizona +3 PUSH

Surprisingly a total 5 picks this week. None of them happening on Thursday so we can all relax and enjoy the time with the family :) I'm more dissapointed in this year's results than anyone else. I still do have hope that they will somehow turn around and that we end up with a good ROI for the year.

We continue to use 18% of bankroll. For week 13 of the NFL, we have a total of 4 predictions for a total of $420 per game. Here are the NFL picks against the spread for week 13 of 2013.

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.

Jamie, Cleveland is starting backup QB Brandon Weeden due to starting QB out with a concussion. Is this injury factored into your pick of Cleveland this week? Thanks!
