After taking a “bye” last week, the Quick Hitters segment is refreshed and ready to go, much like several of the teams mentioned in the following stanzas.

Here is the overall record for each portion of the Quick Hitters situational filters:

Look-ahead alert: Overall 9-8, Recommended (last week) 0-0, Recommended YTD 3-0

Sharp Picks: Overall 13-16-1, Recommended (last week) 0-1, Recommended YTD 4-5-1

Off a bye: Recommended (last week) 1-1, Recommended YTD 12-8

Featured Pick: Last week 0-1, YTD 3-5

In case you are new to this segment, this article will point out the top betting nuggets of the week by identifying trends, stats, and situations to be aware of. As I mention every week, it is important to remember that these trends and stats are only one piece of the puzzle when trying to figure out which team to place a wager on. They shouldn’t be followed blindly, but instead they should be considered and factored into the broader context and reasoning for selecting a side.
