I'll edit this post & drop my predictions for week 6 here.

I only want to take some time to think about some of the match ups and look up stats.

NFL isn't a sport I'm knowledgeable in. I can't say I know much about the history of the game or expostionary info a sharp gambler in this area should have. This is mostly for fun. And to perhaps show that even casual gamblers can do ok gambling in an area where they don't specialize in.

Week 6 Predictions

Buccaneers > Eagles
Dolphins > Jaguars
Packers > Bears
Bengals > Lions
Texans < Colts
Rams > Giants
Chiefs > Washington
Vikings < Panthers
Chargers > Ravens
Cardinals > Browns
Raiders > Broncos
Cowboys > Patriots
Seahawks < Steelers
Bills > Titans

....


Record through week 5: 12 - 4.

75% win rate.

Many teams appear to be pacing themselves and resting either in the first half or the second half.

Its a strange scenario where a team's defense / offense can only be strong for two quarters. Depending on the intensity with which they're playing.

At some point, I would like to try big data analysis on NFL stats to see if I can find patterns that translate to higher betting accuracy.

Observing more NFL games than normal, gave me a few ideas for angles to work in future wagers.

At the moment, american football is a sad state of affairs with many serious injuries. Its becoming ridiculous to see boatloads of players be carted away in almost every game.

There have been a few recent games, where a quarterback or key player on teams were injured and it became very likely they wouldn't win the game or even score many points. Which made betting the under points total a good option.
