2015 NFL Point Spread Picks - Week 7
Pick 1: Cleveland +6 
Pick 2: Baltimore +9
Pick 3: Pittsburgh +3
Here we are almost half way through and the NFL picks are struggling to go above 50%. Now that the models have enough data, I hope the models get good data in and the picks make a good turnaround. My week 7 picks are actually not that great. Last year they went 1-3 and the year before that 2-2.
I don't like that much that the 3 picks are visiting teams, but I can't put emotions to this. I'm not sure if Big Ben is playing but I think this play is mostly against KC. This week we stay at 17% of the bankroll split evenly across the 3 NFL games, giving us a bet of $500 per game. As we do every week, the statistically-driven NFL point spread picks are show below, for free.

Here are the top picks based on fiftytwopointfour's computer model:
> Redskins (-3.5)
> Giants (-3.5)
> Cardinals (-8.5)
CLE (+4.8)
BAL (+3.7)
PIT (-3.8)
So my numbers like all of your picks. As a Bengals fan I am against the rest of the AFC North winning while Cincinnati has a bye but I'll still wish you good luck :)
PIT (+3.0)
TB (+3.0)
MIN (-1.0)
CAR (-3.0)
Proost!
BAL(+9.0)
We don't want the Bengals and their fans like johnbart to pick up a game on the whole division while on a bye. :)
Proost!
