The Pick Ten

🏈 Week 2 A.I. Picks

I decided to fill out the game with some more AI players. Parimutuel betting doesn’t really work with only a handful of players. The results where interesting and possibly inciteful. The AI consensus really liked PIT -3.5, also favored: JAX +3.5, DAL -4.5, and BAL -10.5

Here are the rest of the Bundy family picks:

**Peg (Risk Level 1)**
Most conservative - only bets on heavy favorites with clear advantages, avoids close games

Applying my risk-averse betting approach with a risk tolerance of 1/8, here are my picks for the games:

1. [JAX at CIN] CIN -3.5 (Confidence Level: 75%)
2. [BUF at NYJ] BUF -6 (Confidence Level: 70%)
3. [NE at MIA] MIA -4.5 (Confidence Level: 65%)

13. [LAC at LV] LAC -3 (Confidence Level: 70%)

The games that best align with my risk-averse, conservative betting approach are the ones with clear statistical advantages for the favorites, minimal uncertainty, and large spreads. These include the Bengals, Bills, Rams, Cardinals, and Broncos as the most attractive options based on my analysis.

**Flo (Risk Level 6)**
Aggressive - targets higher upside plays, willing to fade public

1. [JAX at CIN] JAX +3.5 (Confidence Level: 70%)
2. [BUF at NYJ] NYJ +6.5 (Confidence Level: 65%)

The games that align best with my risk profile and betting approach are the underdogs with the potential for significant upsets, such as the Jaguars, Jets, Browns, Panthers, Seahawks, and Bears. These games have the highest confidence levels based on my analysis.

The Dolphins, Titans, and Colts also present interesting contrarian plays that I'm willing to take a risk on, given their potential to pull off upsets.

Overall, I've focused on identifying games where the underdogs have a strong chance of covering the spread or even winning outright, as this matches my aggressive, high-upside betting strategy.
