Kevin Sheehan's Smell Test picks for Week 17

Happy New Year from the Smell Test picks! Here we go there is a huge weekend of NFL action on New Year's Day and college football on New Year's Eve and Monday, too!

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 17th year doing the Smell Test on radio and/or podcast. I've had 11 winning seasons....5 losing seasons.
