Dean Browski’s NFL Week 1 Picks
Posted by Dean Browski Categories: NFL,
Alright, here we go! Week 1 in the NFL kicks off tonight as does our data gathering for the rest of the season. I am excited as I know you are, but let’s take a deep breath, curb our enthusiasm and get down to business. I apply a guideline of not going over 3-stars in Week 1. (Click Here to Learn About Stars.) It is a guideline, driven by the belief that this is the least informed we will be all season long, so any extreme confidence you have in a game is based on speculation not facts. There are many unknowns at this point, so let’s allow things to play out so we can make better decisions as the season
progresses. Its not where you start, its where you finish.

Early Week Thoughts on NFL Week 1 Point Spreads
Posted by Dean Browski Categories: NFL,
When to buy? A question that can perplex the best investors in the world, but one that you must ask yourself if you are to ever turn your gambling into something more than an emotional money grab. If you wait until Sunday morning like a lot of people do, then you are missing out on two very vital aspects of being a professional. First, you may have lost out on the opportunity to get a team you like at a more favorable point spread. Secondly, if you are looking at the lines for the first time on Sunday then you have no point of reference on how the line fluctuated during the week. This is information that tells a tale, a tale that you should be attentive to.
I will share a bit of my methodology, but I strongly suggest that you devise your own methodology to view, and track the various movements. There is no perfect system, but there are imperfect ones. The most imperfect is to not have one at all. In my system, I go through every game before knowing the actual line and I set my own. I then add the actual line next to each game, along with two other bits of information that sheds some light on what the rest of the betting public is thinking. ESPN has a line listed next to each game which is the average point spread as set by the users of the site. Covers.com also has something they call Consensus which is a percentage of people, using Wagerline.com, who have selected a team with the point spread at various times in the line’s history. Please, please, please remember that the Vegas line is a product of what the public thinks and believes.

Dean Browski’s Bets on NFL Regular Season Win Totals
Posted by Dean Browski Categories: NFL,
Root for me, root against me, I really don’t care. Just root. I was in Vegas back in June, June 27 to be exact, and I placed 3 bets on the NFL Regular Season Win Totals. Here are my 3 bets, what I was thinking then, and what I am thinking now.
I practiced what I preach and I had a set amount of money that was for all bets on the Season O/U. After doing what felt like the appropriate amount of research, wound up with 3 teams. It is important to note that my mindset was not to find 3 teams, but to simply see if there was anything worth wagering on. And the selections were:
New York Jets OVR 7 (-160)
Dallas Cowboys UND 11 (-115)
New England Patriots UND 12.5 (+105)
