We're halfway through the 2022 NFL season and so far it's been a wild ride. In this week's picks, we're looking for Philadelphia to remain undefeated and for the Buffalo Bills to rebound against the 7-1 Minnesota Vikings.
Halfway through the 2022 NFL season and we're even Steven in our picks against the spread.
That's right, the Lazy Boy's record is 66-66-4 ATS. Which, after a few terrible weeks, I'll take all day.
My straight up, money line picks are much, much better, coming in at a 62% clip with an 84-52 record.
The last few weeks, we rode the underdog express, and it helped us climb out of the hole. As we kick off Week 10, however, we're trending closer to the chalk line. OK, well, we're pretty much standing on it.
This weekend, I picked nine home favorites to win straight up, including six to cover the spread. Combined, those nine teams have a 24-9 (73%) straight-up home record and are 18-15-1 (55%) at home against the spread.
There are currently seven teams in the league who are at least 6-3 ATS through nine weeks of the season. Four of those teams play Sunday; and out of those four, I've picked three to cover: Dallas, New York Giants and Tennessee.
On to the picks!
