Tips
for Winning NFL Football Picks
#1
- Initial NFL Picks:
As early in the week as possible, make a list
of the coming games and make your selections. Go with your best
guess, gut feeling, or whatever. Skip the games about which you
are unsure. In making NFL picks, whether you are an expert or someone
who just likes to watch a game now and then, your first decision
is often best.
#2
- The Undecideds:
Go back and mark those NFL picks you are not
sure about with a question mark. With fewer decisions remaining,
the focus on these games is increased.
#3
- Pondering:
Tuck your list into a convenient pocket and
carry it with you. Look it over several times a day. A minute or
two twice a day is far more helpful than an hour of study.
#4
- Gather Information:
Read newspapers. If you come to know a given
sports writer, you will be able to pick up on the difference between
his facts and opinions, and on any bias present. And some publish
their NFL picks. There are some shows on TV that may help. Your
best bet may be the web. Sites such as CNN, CBS, and Nando.Net are
very informative. What others have to say is particularly helpful
in thinking about teams you do not follow or do not know much about.
#5
- Argue:
Get into it about your undecided picks with
a friend, or anyone interested. Or argue with yourself! "The Bears
will stomp Detroit." "No they won't. Here's why." "How come I can't
make a simple decision like this?" While this may seem an odd or
novel idea, it is a real winner. It dramatically increases the focus
on the undecided games. And the greater the focus, the more likely
your final pick will be the right one.
#6-
The Line:
If it drops, then heavy bucks have been placed
on the underdog. If it goes up, those bucks are going to the favorite.
While public opinion may mean little in many cases, this part of
the public is backing their opinion with dollars. If in doubt, you
may want to go along.
#7
- Decisions:
Make decisions as possible. Every undecided
you cross off the list leaves one less pick to think about and increases
the focus on those remaining. As the list gets shorter, you can
run down it mentally without even looking at it.
#8
- Avoid Changes:
Be hesitant to change any decision already
made; more often than not it will be a loser. This seems particularly
true in making NFL picks.
#9
- Put It Off:
Make final decisions on the remaining undecided
picks as late in the week as possible. The greater the time between
your initial consideration and final decision, the greater the focus,
and the better the pick. A Note: There are lots of explanations
as to why the idea of increasing focus works. Many great minds have
considered unconscious thinking, instinct, intuition, and related
concepts. And many have done so at considerable length. While not
all agree about how it works, most agree that anything that brings
a greater focus on a decision, increases the chance the final choice
will be the best available.
