I’m not a fan of making NFL picks. It’s such an arduous task, and honestly I just don’t have the energy, patience, or time to dedicate all my effort to something as tedious as this. But, lately I’ve been talking to some friends of mine who swear by the trade protection that NFL picks offer. So I figured, what the heck, let’s give this a shot.
I have to say, I was a bit skeptical at first. I mean, how could a few seemingly innocuous NFL picks actually guarantee some kind of protection? But my friends swore by it and swore up and down that it really works, so I decided to give it a try.
Well, I’m not sure if I can wholeheartedly vouch for it like my friends do, but I will say this: there was certainly an element of protection involved with the NFL picks that I made. Sure, there were some off weeks, some games where my team didn’t come out on top. But it’s almost like I was protected from making bad decisions due to the trade protection of my picks. I never felt downright awful about any of the teams I chose, and I was always sure that I had made the right decision.
It’s hard to properly describe how that trade protection works since it is so different from how traditional NFL picks go. But I can tell you what I noticed when I was making the picks: my thought process was much more complex than it had been before. I wasn’t just choosing teams who were coming off of a big win or two, or who had just had a great practice in the past week. Instead, I was actually considering all sorts of data and metrics to determine who would come out on top.
In short, when I made my NFL picks, I felt like I was in control. I wasn’t just picking teams out of the air, I was doing my own due diligence and making sure that I was making the right decision. That trade protection was a real blessing — it allowed me to make the right call when it came to these big games, and that ultimately helped me make the best picks for my team.
The best part of this whole thing for me, though, was that it gave me the confidence to take risks. I’m usually pretty timid when it comes to making NFL picks, but knowing that I had the protection in place allowed me to step out of my comfort zone a bit. Of course, some risks paid off big time, and others were complete busts. But at the end of the day, I was able to make more calculated, thought-out decisions than I would have without the trade protection.
Overall, I’m really glad that I decided to give this trade protection a try. It took away a lot of the guesswork and gave me a stronger foundation from which to make my picks. I can’t guarantee that it’ll work for everyone, but for me, I’d say that it definitely made a difference.
