What are the best bets for Week 9 of the 2014 NFL season?

Happy Sunday! We are past the halfway point of the 2014 season in the National Football League, and with that becomes a theoretical shift toward the “home stretch”. That is certainly true in the world of handicapping as well, as there is more and more data available to the public, making the point spreads that much more difficult to navigate. However, things went quite well with our Week 8 selections, to the tune of a 4-1 mark, and it appears to be possible that we’ve turned the corner. Regardless, there is optimism!

As always, “fade the public” is the general principle of this column, and if there is anything to indicate that the “sharper” investment is one direction, we will often be the first to pounce on it, even if it requires some ignorance to reality and public perception. Before we get to the picks, let’s look at where we stand for the season, including the absolute surge from Week 8:

  • Last week: 4-1
  • Season: 18-21-1

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at this week’s selections!
