Free NFL Pick of the Week (Week 8 ATS): LAR -6.5 (LAC @ LAR)

Every week the desk gives away one of its Likes — never the Lock. It is picked once, freezes at kickoff, and is graded against the closing number after the Final.

Through Week 8 the free pick was chosen once from the desk’s Likes and kept even if the desk later passed, so those picks are graded on the Free Picks Record only. From Week 9 it is always one of the desk’s own Likes and also appears on the full record.

2026 Free Picks Record: 4–0 ATS (100.0%) · +3.64u across 4 settled weekly free picks (graded vs. Close at -110).
