I&#8217;ll revisit this for next year, but I hope everyone enjoys the picks!</p><h2>Recap of 2024 picks</h2><p>As always, betting performance is tracked and verified by BettingPros.</p><p>Last year, we finished with an 85-66-3 record (56.3%) with a profit of 10.88 units (1 unit/bet):</p><ul><li><p>Spread: 40-33-2 (55.4%), +3.47 units</p></li><li><p>O/U: 45-33-1 (58.4%), +7.52 units</p></li></ul><p>This brings Touchdown Squad&#8217;s lifetime record (since 2020) to 414-309-10 (57.3%), +84.08 units:</p><ul><li><p>Spread: 228-170-5 (57.3%), +34.44 units</p></li><li><p>O/U: 186-139-5 (57.2%), +49.64 units</p></li></ul><p>This placed me 22nd out of 306 experts in 2024 - overall a very solid year with profit in both bet types. With that being said though, this year I&#8217;ll be aiming again for that 1st place I got in 2022!</p><h2>Week 1 Picks</h2><p>Interestingly, early in the year tends to be when I&#8217;ve done the best. Looking at my splits on BettingPros, Weeks 1-5 account for 56% of my positive ROI, with the first two weeks in particular being my strongest.</p><p>Week 1-2 Splits from 2020-2024: </p><ul><li><p>Spread: 47-30 (61.0%)</p></li><li><p>O/U: 41-27-1 (60.3%)</p></li></ul><p>The uncertainty of new players, coaches, etc is always a potential source of mispricings early in the year, and this year I see lots of opportunities in Week 1:</p><p><strong>2025 Record: 0-0-0 (-%), 0.00 units</strong></p><h3>Against the Spread</h3><ul><li><p>Dolphins +1.5 @ Colts</p></li><li><p>Saints +6.5 vs. Cardinals</p></li><li><p>49ers -1.5 @ Seahawks</p></li><li><p>Rams -3 vs. Texans</p></li><li><p>Bills +1.5 vs. Ravens</p></li><li><p>Vikings -1.5 vs. Bears</p></li></ul><h3>Over/Under</h3><ul><li><p>Raiders/Patriots Over 43.5</p></li><li><p>Giants/Commanders Under 45.5</p></li><li><p>Texans/Rams Over 43.5</p></li></ul><h2>Season Long Win Total Picks</h2><p>One of my favourite bet types (if you&#8217;re willing to let your money sit there all season) is season-long win totals. Last year we went 6-1, and here are my picks for this year:</p><ul><li><p>Colts Under 7.5 Wins</p></li><li><p>Cowboys Over 7.5 Wins</p></li><li><p>Commanders Over 9.5 Wins</p></li><li><p>Seahawks Under 8.5 Wins</p></li><li><p>Dolphins Over 7.5 Wins</p></li><li><p>Cardinals Under 8.5 Wins</p></li><li><p>Saints Over 4.5 Wins</p></li><li><p>Vikings Over 8.5 Wins</p></li></ul><p>Good luck everyone this year!</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Super Bowl Betting Picks]]></title><description><![CDATA[Will the Chiefs 3-peat?
