NFL Best Bet Picks

- Updated every Wednesday by 3pm Pacific Time -
If you are not seeing the current week, your browser is loading a cached page.

Each week the person in charge of a subscriber feature can submit a 'best bet' selection. These have proved to be very potent since the introduction of this concept three years ago, and we will present a best bet freebie on this page each week to showcase the range of our various subscriber handicapping tools.


Week 11: Last 5 Weeks UPM
The "Ultimate Prediction Machine" original game simulator is run twice each week using two different data sets: the first uses season to date stats, the second uses stats from only the last five weeks.


The Ultimate Prediction Machine simulates each NFL matchup five-thousand times using our exclusive TwoMinuteWarning Drive Chart stats. Each simulated score is compared against the line on the game to assess who would have covered and the numbers are compiled to give a confidence value to the chances of each team covering.

Analysis:
The Patriots are still carried along in bettors' minds by the three Super Bowl victories. Truth is they were fortunate to get the win in Miami. Saints have been underachievers but are off a bye and if they can't get up for a game with New England then indeed all hope is lost.

Favor: New Orleans +10

Best Bet Performance Records
The "Best Bet" column was introduced for the 2002 coverage, allowing feature editors to highlight one play as the best option of the week (editors can elect not to provide a best bet if none seem worthy of the honor).
