Week 9 NFL Picks: 72% Winners Against the Spread Year to Date

Welcome back to my weekly picks column. This week we have 14 games on tap. Please allow me to apologize in advance. Due to a car accident, I have to cut this column short this week.

So instead of writing a few paragraphs about each game, I am only listing the predictions for the week. Next week, we will be back to a full write up on each game. 

Also please note, I started this column in Week 7 on here, so even though I have been making the picks all year on my blog, the year to date totals start from Week 7.

Week 8 Results 

Straight Up:  10-3

Against the Spread: 8-5

Despite a ton of upsets this past week, I went 8-5 against the spread. Let's do even better this week.
