September is here and football has returned to our lives! And with the return of America's 'new' pastime, we have the return of Kevin Sheehan's weekly Smell Test picks for Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season and the third week of the college football season.
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.
