PSP's Data Driven NFL Free Pick

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind.

Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.

Our models suggest that the value is on the Baltimore Ravens as a home underdog against Pittsburgh Saturday afternoon. The Steelers have been playing close games all season, and their meetings with the Ravens are typically decided by a field goal or less. The Ravens can afford to rest players for the playoffs, but there are only so many players on the team and we think they'll stay competitive.

Supporting trends: Ravens are 33-15-3 ATS in their last 51 games as an underdog. Ravens are 18-7-2 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
