All it took was a little German heavy metal. The Rhode Island Scumbag, our NFL betting guide, was mired in a slow start to begin 2024. Then he quoted Wind of Change and, boom, perfect week.
Between the Scumbag’s 4-0 week and my 2-1 mark (I blame you, Derek Carr), our picks had a tidy six-unit profit. This was also a marked departure from the old Scumbag, who got distracted telling children the dangers of Halloween candy while extolling the virtues of Crossfit around this time and annually flailed his way to a losing record after a scorching start.
I’m in no position to stand in the way of a heater. Here’s what he’s got for us this week. All Scumbag analysis below is in blockquotes.
The monkey is finally off of the back of the Scumbag 2.0. Apparently all I had to do is wait out Scumbag 1.0’s most profitable month and watch my luck change with the beautiful New England foliage.

I’m looking to keep the positive momentum going and gain some more ground on my unit detriment. Here are some of the matchups this week I’m looking to capitalize on.
