A Narrow Positive
We told you last week that the third week in November had historically been our most successful wagering week of the 21st Century. Hopefully, this wasn’t a peak, but our selections did turn a small profit yet again on this favorable week of the season.
As far as the fourth week of November, our results over the last several years have been mixed. Since this is a 5-Saturday November, the typical end of season rivalry games will be next week, so we are hoping that this week will be more typical of past third weeks.
Are you confused? You shouldn’t be, because in the end, we highly encourage you not to wager based on any information you read here. You pay nothing for these selections, so you should wager nothing on them.
This week our regular PiRate Picks will go big or go home. We are going with parlays that return big odds, and if we can win half of the parlays, it will be a windfall imaginary profit.
We are also going to take our first 7-point, 3-game NFL Parlay of the season at 7-5 odds.
As for the Davey19 experimental system, we have seven selections against the spread. Davey19 has been a somewhat positive experiment this year, and last week was another good one as the picks went 4-2-1. It is experimental, so we cannot vouch for its continued success. It is strictly mechanical and does not take into consideration the weather forecast and any injury news that came out after Monday’s PiRate Ratings were published.

Just on Davey19, because it is experimental, and we want to test it out. The regular picks are strictly for fun, so we don’t record the results after the week is over.
We will put the Davey19 results on next Thursday mornings picks.
