I don’t know what makes me feel worse: the flu virus coursing through my veins or another losing week of NFL Underdog picks. Either way, it’s been a shit seven days.
My NFL picks and predictions have had a tough time through nine weeks of action, despite what’s been a profitable run for those teams getting the points. And while I feel like I’m missing out, I don’t feel like I’m missing by much.
Getting over a slump is just like getting over an illness. There’s no one-dose magic elixir that’s going to make it right again. You know the steps you need to take to get well: avoid extra exertion, get some rest, have healthy habits, and take your medicine.
For the sports bettor on a skid, that means don’t chase those losses by betting more. You may want to actually step back and bet less. Remind yourself of smart betting habits and, of course, take the time and do your research.
The road to recovery starts in Week 10 with my three favorite NFL underdog bets. And if these go south, I’ll blame it on the cough syrup.
