The 311 consists of three NFL games that I will select using the spread or money line, one game that is selected based on the total number of points for both teams going Over or Under and one player projected production for the game and if he exceeds or falls short of that number. This will give you action every week that is based on trends and matchups.
This is Week 18 of the NFL 2022-2023 season. The 17th week of action had the favorites covering eight times and the dogs seven. The totals were six Over and nine Under.
The team with the best record against the spread is the Cincinnati Bengals at 12-3. The team with the best record with the total going Over is the Minnesota Vikings at 11-5. The team with the best record with the total going under is the Baltimore Ravens.
My record in last week 311 was 4-1 and my record for the year is 42-41-2.
