Happy Thanksgiving! The Smell Test picks are in for Week 12 of the 2021 NFL season and Week 13 of the 2021 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 16th year doing the Smell Test on radio and/or podcast. I've had 11 winning seasons....4 losing seasons.
