NFL Best Bet Picks

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.

Please note: The scheme for deciding upon picks is based heavily on the Evaluating Injuries research article.

Basic Player Unit scoring system:

Out worth one point
Doubtful worth 3/4 point
Questionable worth 1/2 point
Probable worth 1/4 point
