Tbh I would never base my picks on something like a poll, so I think this poll in here is just a bit for fun. You could actually use this poll (or any other public poll) as kind of contraindication I don't think there is something like swarm intelligence when it comes to sportsbetting. The overwhelming majority of betting people is losing longterm, so why would a poll give any +EV insight.
I would be interested to know how the threads picks have done over the season, i will bet the poll has a winning record. I will look at it if I am uncertain but not as a starting point but rather as a confirmation of my thoughts and if it is opposed i will try to figure out why by the posts themselves.
I find this thread pretty knowledgeable, especially compared to other ones.
Titans (-6.5) - Texans will not play Watson (i'm not sure who their back up is but it doesn't really matter) Hopkins and Fuller are out too.
Packers Halftime/Fulltime - Packers need this to ensure first-round bye and if 49ers lose, to clinch NFC 1st seed and homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs
Eagles (-3.5) - 3 game winning streak, i can't really see them lose here, hopefully they cover the spread
Bills ML - I'm not entirely sure if Bills are going to rest their key guys, rumors are Allen will play only play 1 quarter, regardless i like them better.
Ravens/Steelers Total turnovers (incl. overtime) O 3.5 - Seems like an easy task for both RGIII and Hodges. Rudolph/Connor are out.
gl everyone!
Nice job.
