Dubs' Pigskin Pick 'Em & Rams Game Preview returns for a third season. I'll be predicting the winners (both straight up and against the spread) for all 256 regular season games. In addition, each week I'll be featuring 3 games in my "Hot Picks Against The Spread".
Pickwatch is a site devoted to tracking weekly picks results from NFL experts, analysts, and media types. This year, they're tracking 136 experts on a weekly basis. I'm competing against them again this season, and will publish the weekly results! In each of the last two seasons, I've managed to tie for first place in the overall standings. Can Dubs make it three years in a row?

How did I fare against the experts the past couple of weeks? I'm currently on a hot streak. My record over the past two weeks was enough to vault into a 4th place tie in the overall standings, 4 behind leader Josh Katzowitz of Forbes. My overall record picking against the spread is currently in the top 5% among all prognosticator's. Let's see if I can stay hot the rest of the season and catch the leader!!

Hot Picks Against The Spread
Carolina over NY Giants - The undefeated Panthers are 10-3 against the spread this season (5-1 ATS on the road). They should easily cover the 5.5 point spread in this game.
Seattle over Cleveland - A 16 point spread may be a lot to cover most weeks. Not this week. The Seahawks are kicking into high gear, are playing at home and are in the midst of a 4-game winning streak.
Arizona over Philadelphia - The oddsmakers consistently underestimate the Cardinals on the road and this week is no exception. Arizona should have little trouble covering the meagre 3.5 point spread against the Eagles.
