NFL Picks ~ Week Seven

Hello and welcome to a special Thursday edition of Tuesdays with Swindy. It’s week seven in the NFL and I'm trying a new system with my picks. With the exception of two games, I picked the opposite of what the majority of the country picked. Since Vegas always wins, this strategy should work, right? For my three locks, I'm going with New England, Philadelphia, and Buffalo. As I’ve been doing every week for nearly 30 years, I am picking against the spread for every NFL game:
