Picking five NFL games against the spread each week is terribly difficult. We’re using lines from the Hilton SuperContest, and remember, 57 percent is considered good. CineSport’s Noah Coslov went 2-2-1 last week (first push of the year!) and is 30-44-1 for the season with two weeks left. Jason went 4-1 to improve to 45-30*.

The dream is dead. Noah can’t finish above .500, and I can’t finish in the ‘money’ in the Hilton (Top 30). Reality sucks.

Strange week of games. There’s jockeying for playoff spots, and a lot of games that mean absolutely nothing, unless you count the NFL draft.

There are nine home underdogs, but only two of them having winning records: Arizona (+8) vs. Seattle and Cincinnati (+3) vs. Denver. As usual, Oddssharks trends are highly recommended.

No, I’m not backing Johnny Manziel again. In fact, the Supercontest line of Cleveland -1.5 was way, way off. Now that Cam Newton is playing, the Panthers are favored by three. That’s a freebie.

If you’re wondering how I have four more wins in these videos than in the Hilton Supercontest contest, I sadly explained the reasoning here.
