NFL – Handicapper Results and Recap – Week 5
NFL Top Handicappers – Week 5
Week 5 saw one of the new expert sites that we just started pulling picks from CoverTheSpread go a perfect 3-0 on their free plays to lead the NFL handicappers. They were followed closely by strong picks from Walter Cherepinsky (WalterFootball) and a couple of handicappers from CappersPicks (Matthew Lowimore and TheWiseGuy).
Well, the Consensus picks had five Unders on the list this week but only went 2-3. Meanwhile, the sides produced a solid 4-2 mark. For the season, the Consensus picks are still in the red overall but have a small profit on 5+ Net Consensus plays.
