Week 7: Picks

.
We'll start with an update on how the system has performed through three weeks of action:
| Week | Straight Up | Against the Spread |
| 9-22-07 | 33-15 | 27-20-1 |
| 9-29-07 | 37-16 | 23-29-1 |
| 10-06-07 | 35-19 | 28-24-2 |
| Total | 105-50 | 78-73-4 |
As I'm inclined to see it, the wild weekend of upsets two weeks ago is an aberration and on the whole my system is a winner. Now that I have some decent sample sizes to pull from I'm going to start up again with some best bet picks. The slate will be wiped clean so I won't be including the performance of prior "best bets". This should be a good test of the ability of the power rankings to isolate good plays against the spread.
You can find a complete listing of this week's picks here.
