Straight-Up Quick Picks
The quick-picks as their name suggests are arrived at in a speedy fashion to meet the tight Tuesday deadline. They represent not so much a heavily analyzed selection, but rather a "first look" at a game using one or more of our statistical tools. For all their shortcomings though, they are a well-intentioned attempt at making good early picks, and as the season progresses they should become more reliable as our statistics and ratings themselves gain greater predictive value.
