Week 11 NFL Picks
Week 11 NFL [picks] detailed below. You will have to trust me on the Seahawks picks, they were only a 57% favourite though.
Big favourites this week, in order: the Chargers, Saints (Philly have been bad recently) and the Steelers (the Jaguars have also been on somewhat of a slide).
The Giants versus Tampa Bay game is the closest to a coin flip with home advantage pushing the Giants over the line. The Ravens are not that much more of a favourite over the Bengals either.
Green Bay Packers at [Seattle Seahawks]
Dallas Cowboys at [Atlanta Falcons]
[Carolina Panthers] at Detroit Lions
[Tennessee Titans] at Indianapolis Colts
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at [New York Giants]
Houston Texans at [Washington Redskins]
[Pittsburgh Steelers] at Jacksonville Jaguars
Cincinnati Bengals at [Baltimore Ravens]
Oakland Raiders at [Arizona Cardinals]
Denver Broncos at [Los Angeles Chargers]
Philadelphia Eagles at [New Orleans Saints]
[Minnesota Vikings] at Chicago Bears
Kansas City Chiefs at [Los Angeles Rams]

The Jets are the smallest favourite this week, at 50.1% to beat the Bills.

NFL Week 9 Picks
Picks for this week's NFL games below.
My model has a real fascination with the Buffalo Bills. The problem is their two wins over fairly decent teams. Beating the Vikings in Minnesota was an impressive win, both in the real world and the number of Elo points they gained from it. This has kept them fairly high up in model, they are the 24th ranked team. On the other hand, the Bears seem like a good team yet are only 4-3, with the Seahawks the only good team they have actually beaten. This leaves them ranked 23rd so the Bills are favoured purely because of home advantage.
Oakland Raiders at [San Francisco 49ers]
Chicago Bears at [Buffalo Bills]
[Kansas City Chiefs] at Cleveland Browns
New York Jets at [Miami Dolphins]
Detroit Lions at [Minnesota Vikings]
Atlanta Falcons at [Washington Redskins]
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at [Carolina Panthers]
[Pittsburgh Steelers] at Baltimore Ravens
[Houston Texans] at Denver Broncos
Los Angeles Chargers at [Seattle Seahawks]
Los Angeles Rams at [New Orleans Saints]
Green Bay Packers at [New England Patriots]
Tennessee Titans at [Dallas Cowboys]

College Football Week 10 Rankings
It must have been a pretty unpredictable week in college football as my model only got 52% of the games correct. Prior to this, my worst week for the season prediction wise was week 7 at 64%. All other weeks I predicted over 70% of games correctly. The overall rate for the season still sits at 73%.
