It’s a contrarian handicapping philosophy. I look for the games where the public is convinced they are right about a point spread and I go the other way. There’s more to it than that including unique access to information about where certain sharp action is but for the most part, it’s the realization over many years that the house wins more than it loses and the house advantage comes from much more than just the built-in vig/fee advantage.
The lines used are from http://scoresandodds.com as they appeared Friday during the show. Lines change. Typically, if a line is worse for me than it was on Friday, the contrarian handicapper in me regards that as a good thing. It usually means that later sharp money is with me.
Also, these picks were released initially on Friday’s show/podcast. To hear it, listen starting at the 1:30:42 mark here-https://thekevinsheehanshow.com/2018/10/12/lock-it-up-skins-will-beat-panthers-plus-cooley/
