They said it couldn't be done. They said it wasn't gonna happen. They said the Smell Test days were numbered and Kevin had lost it. They were wrong. A winning week last time out (for the third straight time) and an above .500 record for the season. Nine more picks for this week to keep that magic going.
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.
