ATS Checkdown: Week 13 Picks Against the Spread
Matt and Sascha have officially regained their status as experts on football betting. Both posted 6-3 records against the spread in Week 12, and have identical 15-9-1 records over the last three weeks. As the two hosts are heating up, Pepperoni (the game-picking pooch) suffered his first losing week of the season. But as he has reminded us, every dog has its off-day, and the spreads got the best of him last week. Pep still sits at 8-4 on the season.
We’re back, baby! Not only are Sascha and I reeling off the wins as individuals right now, but our consensus picks have been 7-1 over the last three weeks, and our weekly locks are 5-0! Get your mitts on the ATS Checkdown while it’s hot.
As always, before we dive into our expert picks, we’ll recap what we saw in Week 12, which has inspired a friendly game of “would you rather …”
In spite of Pepperoni’s rough week, he’s actually excited to have finally been challenged. The pup is not fazed whatsoever, and is poised to get back to his winning ways. He’s asked that I show the doubters the door.
*As Sascha promised in this week’s podcast, here’s a fun fact: since 2013, the Seahawks have only been a home underdog once. That one occurrence came two weeks ago against the Falcons, where they were a one-point dog.
After working in TV, Matt turned his focus towards numbers, specifically odds. He has been with us since 2016 and serves as SBD's Editor-in-Chief, credited with creating our futures trackers, SBD's score predictor, SBD Sharp, and his own model for calculating NFL SOS, among other products.
