Week 17 - Moneyline Seems to Be Money

I bet some uncharacteristic moneyline bets last week - only teams that paid out positive dollars. Did it work? Well, my $5 bet on Chicago to upset Green Bay paid me a solid $15 or so, negating any other moneyline losses I took. Worth it?

I'm not sure.

This week, the picks are in, and I may do some of the same maneuvering:

My top 3 picks are all in the money picks. I like betting the upset, but this week is pretty unpredictable. I'm not sure what I'm doing yet, but I do know I'm not risking big dollars in the last week - I'll try to keep it a respectable showing and not lose big on a choppy week 17.
