After a horrific regular season for yours truly when it comes to picking games against the spread, I finished on a high note in Week 18, going 9-6-1. Still, we finished down big at the conclusion of the 2024 campaign but the beauty of the playoffs is we get to wipe the slate clean.

There are 13 games left for us to bet on including six games in Wild-Card Weekend. I'm going to keep my spread picks going, so let's see if I can have a better playoff than the regular season.

Against the Spread Records

  • Week 18: 9-6-1 (+2.18 units)
  • Season-to-date record: 130-139-3 (-21.04 units)
