2015 NFL Point Spread Picks - Week 15

Pick 1: St. Louis -2 correct NFL point spread pick
Pick 2: Arizona -3 correct NFL point spread pick
Pick 3: Green Bay -3 correct NFL point spread pick

Ok the boat hopefully has hit bottom. You're definitely now better off doing the opposite. I of course need to keep believing and continue posting my picks. We'll continue running the models and making picks until the end of the season. Hopefully we have a good run during the playoffs were we place a higher percent of whatever is left of the bankroll at that point.

We will continue betting 27% of bankroll split evenly across the 3 picks to give us a bet of $400 per game.

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: POSITIVE implies VISITING team will cover point spread.
  • Confidence: The probability that the point spread pick is on the correct side.
