A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.
I have often wondered if, based on my line of work, I should dip my toes into the sports betting side of the business. After all, since I spend hours each week studying film — at least when GamePass is operational — perhaps I could try and find a way to profit off that knowledge.
So let us try and put that to the test.
Each week this season I’ll be trying my hand at wagering on the NFL, based on my film study, data analysis, and perhaps a Thomas Shelby flip of the coin or two. Since I believe in accountability, I’ll be tracking my success (or more likely failures) here each week as well. Perhaps we will all learn something along the way, such as “It is best to see what Mark does, and do the exact opposite.” I’ll focus on three big plays each week, but then highlight what I might do in each game on the schedule.
Odds will be provided by Gannett’s new partners at Tipico, and you can view their odds for the first week of the NFL season at that link. As always, please play responsibly.
