Spread the Wealth with RCS

By RealClearSports Staff

The way the point spread works, you have to win about 53 percent of your games to do better than break even. A successful NFL bettor usually achieves a winning percentage of about 58. So what if you can win 65 percent of your bets? It will make you richer beyond your dreams!

Well, here at RealClearSports, someone may have cracked the code. We've tested our method over the last three weeks of the NFL season (Weeks 3-5) and our record, against the point-spread, is 29-15. That's right, a whopping 66 percent.

This is how we did from week-to-week:

- Week 3: 11-5

- Week 4: 8-6

- Week 5: 10-4

Emboldened, we're now sharing our little secret with the public as we will be unveiling our picks every Sunday. Of course, a couple of discliamers here: Past performance is no guarantee of future success; unless you're in the state of Nevada and wager legally at the sportbooks, these picks are for entertainment purposes only; and compulsive gambling is a serious disorder, so we don't encourage it in any way whatsoever.

So are you ready? Here are our picks for Week 6 (point-spread as of Saturday night, the latest line here):

NY Giants (+3) over NEW ORLEANS
St. Louis (+9.5) over JACKSONVILLE
CINCINNATI (-5) over Houston
PITTSBURGH (-14) over Cleveland
TAMPA BAY (+3) over Carolina
MINNESOTA (-3) over Baltimore
Detroit (+14) over GREEN BAY
WASHINGTON (-6) over Kansas City
OAKLAND (+14) over Philadelphia
SEATTLE (-3) over Arizona
NEW ENGLAND (-10) over Tennessee
NY JETS (-9.5) over Buffalo
Chicago (+3) over ATLANTA
Denver (+3.5) over SAN DIEGO

Good luck and check back with us next week.
