QB Rankings (The most important position in Sports)
I think Chris Simms is the best QB evaluator in the media and it’s not close, especially when evaluating QB prospects where he is not afraid to go against consensus. His record speaks for itself.
Mike Sando NFL Poll of QB Tiers
A League wide poll of the best QB’s by 50 NFL executives

The best QB metric.

Action Network - Betting tickets vs money report
Action Network App is a great tool in general. This report especially will help you understand who the public teams are and who the pro teams are. For example: Team A in a given matchup has 70% of the tickets bet on them but only 35% of the money; public is on Team A, sharps (big money) are on Team B (Pros vs Joes).
Fantasy Life App Injury Notifications
A great resource that sweeps the internet for injury news and will notify you as the news is released.
Podcast Picks ReportBelow is a breakdown of my favorite football podcasts that give out free picks ATS. I will track each podcast’s picks and adjust this list as we move through the season.
Pregame - The Dream Preview - RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, AJ Hoffman
In my opinion this is the best and sharpest sports betting podcast. Steve Fezzik is the only 2-time Westgate Super contest winner. He is great with derivatives, calculations behind line moves/juice and identifying bet and fade spots in the schedule. RJ Bell keeps Fez in check and is very sharp himself, a contrarian thinker on the NFL and always finding unique angles, AJ is a college expert and improving on NFL.
Super Contest picks - All three guys pick 5 games weighted from 5 star*, Best Bet (BB) down to 1 star. Then they come up with consensus top 5 picks for the contest (These 5 can change by Saturday when they make the picks depending on line moves, injuries etc.) Disagreements are automatic crossfire bets.
Contest picks: 3-2 Week 9, 20-22-1 Overall *Fezz 1-4 Week 9, 22-23 Overall*
Fezz BB 5* LAC -3 (RJ 2* agreement)
AJ BB 5* DET +8.5 (RJ 4* agreement)
RJ BB 5* LVR +2.5 (Fezz 4* agreement, AJ 1*)
Fezz 4* LVR +2.5
AJ 4* DEN -2.5 (crossfire fezz 3*)
RJ 4* DET +8.5
Fezz 3* PHI +2.5 (crossfire AJ 4*)
AJ 3* ATL +9.5
RJ 3* WFT +9.5
Fezz 2* NO +3
AJ 2* IND -10
RJ 2* LAC -3
Fezz 1* IND -10
AJ 1* LVR +2.5
RJ 1* SF +4
Kelly, now with Barstool Bets, is very sharp and typically a contrarian better fading public sentiment and money. I think similarly so I like to keep an eye on her picks.
Kelly 2-1 Week 9, 24-16-3 Overall
BB Vikings +3.5
49ers +3.5
Saints +2.5
Browns +2.5
Chad Millman, the CTO of the Action network, hosts this podcast with sharp pro better Simon Hunter. They do a 5-pick contest and make their final decision on the 5 on Sunday but Simon lets you know all his sides below.
0-5 Week 9 Contest Sides, 17-28 Overall
Cowboys -8.5
49ers +4
Saints +3
WFT +9.5
Broncos -2.5
Raiders +2.5
The Action Network Sports Betting Podcast
New podcast for me, just getting to know the hosts, Chris and Stuckey. Action network is a great resource, and the NFL Sunday 6 pack from Stuckey and Chris has been a great listen and profitable. They each pick 3 sides, weighted BB 1 to 3, one total, one teaser and one underdog ML.
Stuckey: 3-2 Week 9, 23-19-2 Overall
BB Panthers +10.5
Saints +3
Lions +9
Pats/Browns Under 45
6 point Teaser: Seahawks +8.5/Cowboys -2.5
ML Dog Saints
Chris: 4-1 Week 9, 23-21 Overall
BB Seahawks +3.5
Browns +1.5
Vikings +3
Phi/Den Under 45
Teaser: Seahawks +9.5/Vikings +9
ML Dog Browns
Bet the Board - Todd Furnham and @PayneInsider
Payne is a pro and offers great insight, data and statistics on the NFL. A lot of his plays you need to pay for, but on this podcast, he will give some free best bets and talk you through his angles.
Payne: 1-0 Week 9, 5-4 Overall
Saints/Titans first half under 22
Adam Chernoff – 5-4 week 9 - 66-26 Overall
KC -2.5
Browns +2.5
ATL/DAL Over 53.5
Marquise Brown long rec over 23.5 yards
PHI/DEN Over 45
Jerry Jeudy over 53.5 rec yards
Jerry Jeudy over 4.5 receptions
Great QB evaluator and NFL talent evaluator, but relatively square when it comes to making picks ATS. His insight is worth listening to for picking up tidbits on players and teams to implement in your picks, but his picks themselves offer moderate value.
Chris: 1-2Week 9, 13-13-1 Overall
Lions/Steelers Under 42.5
Bucs -9.5
Raiders +2.5
Florio: 1-2 Week 9, 1-2 Overall
Cowboys -8
Rams -4
Jags +10
What I’m thinking and Who I’m pickingQuick recap of my plays last week: 3-6 with way too much riding on Rams to win by 2. If you were tailing hopefully you hedged with Titans moneyline.
Week 10 Picks
