No long intro for now. I will be providing updates soon. I just wanted to drop tonight's game here before kickoff.

I will be providing a full slate hopefully tomorrow for all the games.

Thursday night game (10-02-2025):

49ers: 19.6
Rams: 27.8
Delta: Rams -8.2
Total: 47.4

Apologies for the lateness of this and the formatting. I thought I would have the new "view" done but unfortunately I did not get that far.

Shamlock of the week: Detroit -9.5

 

[WhatJustHappened]

Bah

 

[mgcolby]

Not a bad start. A weird losing week straight up. But a winning week ATS and a push on totals. Also hit the shamlock. Again apologies for the format. I am working on some stuff and hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will have a whole new presentation.

​

I also whiffed on adding these the other day. But here are the week 5 Shamlock's EPR rankings:

EPR W-L: 8-6

Note: Ignore the previous rank and delta. I had not run it for weeks 1-4.

 

[mgcolby]

This was painful today. But I got tonight's score!
Sorry traveling and working on the new view, that is not ready for primetime.

Phi: 20.6
NYG: 13.4
Delta: 7.2
Total: 34

Here is this week's picks. As always remember its a tool. I am working on a new improved version that will factor in weather and injuries. Until then remember it doesn't know Lamar is not or there could be a blizzard in Buffalo.

And Week 6 EPR rankings:

Week 6 Shamlock's Pick of the Week:

Arizona @ Indy Over 46.5

 

[mgcolby]

There is one correction. I will not it in the final results as well. The Denver/NYJ game had Denver winning by 5.1 and it had Denver -5.5 listed as the play instead of the Jets +5.5. Apologies. I am using agents (bots) to build out some things I am working on, and it mislabeled the play and I failed to catch it in my review.

The picker is in a good place going into tonight's games. Guaranteed winning weeks for ATS (two consecutive weeks), SU and EPR, totals still has a chance to have a winning week.

Going into tonight's games:

ATS: 9-4
Totals: 6-7
SU: 9-4
EPR: 9-4

 

[mgcolby]

Shamlock's Pick of the Week is 2-0.
Week 5: Detroit: -9.5 (W)
Week 6: Ari-Indy: Over 46.5 (W)

Week 7 TNF Prediction:




Will post the rest of the week's plays tonight or tomorrow (hopefully)

Week 7 EPR rankings

Ignore the movement indicator. Got to figure out why that logic is seemingly off. But the rankings and order are accurate.

Interesting.

Dolphins over Falcons in Atlanta? Wow!

Same with Bears at Baltimore. . .

Can't wrap my head around Dallas winning at Denver, but we'll have to wait and see.

Loving the Pats by 19, that's awesome!

Thanks much for all this. . .
