NICK'S PICKS (WEEK 9) Featured

Written by 
Published in Fantasy Football / NFL

Are you looking for a vote of confidence when picking spreads, money lines and the under/ over in the NFL? Let me be that football wizard who has seen the prophecies of victory and has the ability to put your precarious souls at ease. Almost 20 years of sports wagering experience is proudly listed on the resume, as well as playing in my 21st season of fantasy football(definitely a self-proclaimed pioneer). But enough about this guy. In this weekly column, I'll offer up anything from sportsbook's outcomes, moods and reflections, as well as offer words of advice and knowledge on betting strategies. Additionally, for every game, I'll have my picks for the spread, moneyline and under/ over ready to go. And if you're good(or I just happen to be feeling generous), I'll offer up one of my tantalizing, high-odds 'Nicks Picks', a ticket too good to be true. Anyway, if for some reason any of Nick's Picks let you down, I'm cool with you telling your bookie it was all my fault. Yeah... right. 

 

'ONE MORE AND IT'S OFFICIALLY A STREAK' - Well, having a good week wagering on the NFL is a coincidence; two weeks in a row and you better keep your newfound ego in check by sticking to all working plans and methods. String three or more lucrative weeks together and your winning ways have become a streak. What does this mean? It means your successful wagers show that you're locked into the heartbeat of the NFL, especially at it's current moment of the season. These are the best times to trust your instincts and not second guess yourself if possible. Also, even though you want to absorb as much info/ data on the NFL every week as possible, YOU and only YOU need to be the person that compiles all the resources and makes the final decision when making your tickets. Keep methods routine and limits in check, although there is nothing wrong with increasing your ticket values or amount of weekly wagers placed as your winnings increase your bankroll. I'm all for 'riding the snake'(maybe it's 'wave'? Snake might refer to something else, according to some old Jim Carrey skit I kind of half-remember). Hopefully you've been striking the hot iron as I have and we continue to take a little back from 'them'. Best to you this week

I'm Michael J. Nicholas, opinionated author and NFL gambler that can hopefully provide you with some valuable, but very low-cost advice. Now, I won't say anything about how much green you should be laying down, or if this column is even worth reading(that's for your lifestyle to decide). I'm just saying that I'm a guy with 20+ years experience studying NFL football that has some talent at picking winners. Good luck this season!
