2014 NFL Season - Week 9: Win, Spread, Over/Under and Game Score Predictions

Welcome Back to The Sports Savant's Weekly NFL Picks 2014: Week 9 Edition!

This is quite possibly the hottest I've ever been on my picks since I began picking all of the NFL games in 2011.  I am on a tear that any Vegas bookie can admire.  Last week, I went a blistering 12-3(.800) picking the winner and an even more impressive 10-5(.667) in both the spread and over/under picks for all of the games in Week 8.

To add to the madness, I predicted Six Perfect Team Scores and had a personal record Eight Trifectas in Week 8 and topped it all off with a Perfect Game Score, predicting the exact outcome of the Jaguars v. Dolphins game.  The hot week added to my already scorching hot run picking the winners to 78-42-1(.650) and against the spread to a phenomenal 68-51-2(.571) this season.  Let's see if The Sports Savant can keep up this torrid pace of wins going into Week 9!

Below is my overall record for picking games to win, against the spread and the over/under including trifecta predictions, strikeouts and my perfect team score and perfect game score predictions for the 2014 season.
