2014 Quick Hitters (Week 14 NFL Picks)

The Week 14 NFL Picks have arrived! I’m going with a short and condensed version this week because I attended the Wisconsin/Duke basketball game last night. I usually spend Wednesday Night crunching the stats and injuries reports to come up with my picks. I still did the same thing this week, but didn’t have enough time to write out reasons for each pick. We had another successful 11-5 mark and even predicted a Jaguars victory last week. This is the time that teams make or break their playoff chances, so let’s get to it.
*Remember that my picks are straight up (MONEYLINE) and vegas lines are merely used to determine whether I’m choosing an upset, favorite or even pick.
Here are my results on the year:
Overall Record: 127-64-1 (0.661)
Last Week’s Record: 11-5
Record in Thursday Games: 10-5
Record in Sunday Games: 100-48-1
Record in Sunday Night Games: 5-8
Record in Monday Games: 12-3
Record in Upset Picks: 10-13
Record in Even Picks: 27-18
Record in Favorite Picks: 90-33-1
Record in “Toss-Up” Picks: 61-40
Record in “Moderate Confidence” Picks: 57-21
Record in “Lock of the Week” Picks: 9-3-1
*Even picks are classified as opening lines under 2.5 points.
