The Smell Test is heating up! Kevin Sheehan’s legendary contrarian handicapping strategy is coming off a 7-2 week, and is back with six picks for NFL Week 12 on Sunday (after grabbing a win on Monday night) and six on college football Saturday.
WHAT’S KEVIN'S FOOTBALL "SMELL TEST"?
It’s a contrarian handicapping philosophy. I look for the games where the public is convinced they have it figured out on a game's point spread or total and I go the other way. There’s more to it than that but for the most part, it’s the realization over many years that the house wins more than it loses and the house advantage comes from more than just the built-in vig/fee.
This is my 19th year doing the Smell Test on radio and/or podcast. I've had 13 winning seasons....5 losing seasons.
