First off, I started by checking out a bunch of different websites and sources that do predictions. I mean, there are tons of them out there. Some of them, like that OddsTrader, they talk about using some high-tech algorithms that look at millions of data points. Sounds fancy, right? But who knows how accurate that really is. Then you got your typical sports analysts like those guys from B/R, making their educated guesses. Oh, and don't forget the computer picks! Odds Shark has those, and it's basically like letting a robot decide who's gonna win.

So, I gathered all these predictions, and let me tell you, it was a mess. Everyone had different opinions, different reasons. But hey, that's part of the fun, right?
After collecting all this info, I startedetd to see some patterns. Some teams were favored more often, some underdogs kept popping up. But I wanted to make my own picks, not just follow what everyone else was saying.
Here's where it got interesting. I decided to mix things up a bit. I took those expert opinions, I considered the computer picks, but then I threw in my own gut feelings. Call it intuition, call it whatever, but sometimes you just gotta trust your instincts, you know?
My Process
- Checked out a bunch of prediction sites and expert analyses.
- Looked for patterns and common picks among them.
- Combined those with my own knowledge and gut feelings about the teams.
- Ignored any team that have player got serious injury.
- Made my final picks based on this mix of data and intuition.
And let me tell you, making these picks wasn't easy. There were some tough matchups, some real coin-flips. But in the end, I came up with my list. It's a mix of safe bets and a few risky ones, but that's what makes it exciting, right?
So, that's pretty much my process for this week's NFL picks. It's a bit chaotic, a bit messy, but hey, that's how I roll. No fancy formulas, no overthinking, just a good old-fashioned mix of research and gut feelings. We'll see how it all plays out, but no matter what, it's gonna be a fun week of football!
