Pro Football Handicapping Software Engine

I have been using the Pro Football Forecast Handicapping Software Engine for three years and have made a profit during each of those seasons. This program is easy to use and very intuitive. The Handicapping Software Engine will give you all of the technical analysis and match up the teams for you but you must make some decisions on your own factoring in the weather and last minute injuries.

The price of this program is a bargain and well worth the money for anyone who wagers on NFL games. You should easily be able to recoup your purchase price with a single bet.

The ProFootballForecast Handicapping Software Engine is really a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that contains formulas used to predict the final score of the NFL games. You must have Microsoft Excel installed to run this program. When you first open the file you may get a warning notice that it contains “Macros” that may be harmful. A macro is a repetitive task assigned to the spread sheet and this is used in the calculations. If you are using Vista it will automatically block the macro and you will have to enable it to get the program to work.

This program comes with two pricing options. The standard program sells for $10 but it requires you enter the weekly stats in manually. These stats are found on the internet or in the newspaper but it says it will take you about a half hour a week to do this.

The premium program sells for $50 for the extra money you receive a stat file that you download each week to update the program. The process takes just about a minute to complete. I suggest that you spend the additional money for this option.

Once you download the stat file you just click a button to update the spreadsheet. You then pick the teams for each game from a drop down menu and the program will predict the final score. Comparing the predicted final score to the point spread will show you the games that have the greatest variance, and therefore the greatest chance of beating the spread. The program will then handicap each game and order them with number one being the top pick right down to the last game. (if there are 16 games they will be numbered 1-16)

You need the discipline to only bet the top games and ignore the rest if you want to achieve a winning record.

This program uses stats for the present season, so it will be available until week three.
