Welcome back to The Lookahead.
While everyone else is busy betting on this weekend’s games, we’re getting ahead of things with a pair of picks for Sunday. It’s all about locking in that sweet closing line value (CLV) now and gobbling up easy line value before this week’s results move next week’s lines.
We continue to smash the CLV. We got the best of the line on each of our first five picks, three times by a full field goal. We finally moved the wrong direction on the Chargers in Week 4 thanks to injuries, but only by half a point — and we covered that one anyway. We’re 4-2 ATS, and twice our picks have covered on the Lookahead but not the closing line after the Vikings hit Sunday morning.
If we keep getting positive CLV ahead of the line moves, this should keep going our way over the long run. I’ve already got your Sunday picks covered, so let’s look ahead and get some more CLV for those Week 6 games before the weekend.
