The sole week 11 pick was successful, with the Ravens just barely covering a 2.5 point spread (note: my point spread data comes from sportsdatabase.com).
Here are the season to date results:
We are now 5-5 against the spread, with a negative ROI of -3.0%.
There are three bets this week, two of them on Thanksgiving games.
The undefeated Panthers lead the league in defensive turnovers with 25, while the 2-7 Cowboys have the fewest so far, with 7. This makes for an ideal betting opportunity according to our strategy.
