2026 NFL Cappers Ranked
Best NFL Handicappers in 2026 are ranked here by their documented NFL records, betting profit and return on investment (ROI). Matt Fargo leads our October 20 CappersPicks NFL leaderboard snapshot at 27-10, with $1,620 in reported profit and a 36.6% ROI. Chip Chirimbes and Brian Bitler occupy the next two spots.
Six weeks into the NFL season, we’ve already seen some impressive runs from our professional handicappers. But there’s a difference between putting together a hot Sunday and producing profitable football picks over dozens of games. That’s why we’re looking beyond the win-loss column, comparing actual returns, the number of graded selections and the experience each handicapper brings to the table.
Below, you’ll find our Top 10 NFL handicappers, their current results, individual expert profiles and historical records where available. Whether you’re looking for free NFL picks or considering a premium handicapper, we’ve put the numbers together so you can see who’s delivering this season.
I’m Razor Ray Monohan. I’ve spent decades around football lines and professional handicappers. A good NFL record deserves respect, but the price of the picks and the length of the record tell me whether that performance is useful to a bettor.

Compare NFL Handicappers Across Different Timeframes
I don’t judge an NFL handicapper from one leaderboard setting. CappersPicks lets you compare results across 7-day, 30-day, 60-day and season-long periods, and each view tells you something different. The 7-day numbers show who’s been winning lately, while the 30-day results reveal whether that success has carried through several weeks of football.
The 60-day rankings give me a broader look at profit, ROI and the number of graded picks.
Season-long results help put those shorter runs into perspective. A handicapper can dominate one month and still trail the field over the full season.
That’s worth knowing before you pay for his next selection.
Use our CappersPicks handicapper leaderboard to compare the available reporting periods and see how the rankings change.
Meet the Top NFL Betting Experts at CappersPicks
Beyond the rankings, each expert brings a different background and volume of NFL selections.
Matt Fargo — Leading the 2026 NFL Rankings
Matt Fargo sits first in reported NFL profit. His 27-10 record represents a 73.0% winning rate across 37 graded decisions, with average listed odds of -111.
Fargo’s roster update also reports a 27-10-3 NFL season-to-date record, including pushes, and a 13-0-1 primetime stretch. I’d still compare his next selections against his longer record rather than expecting another 73% run.
Chip Chirimbes — Experience and Recent Production
Chip Chirimbes brings experience across multiple sports. His NFL performance stands on its own: 28-13, $1,356 profit and a 28.8% ROI.
Brian Bitler — Betting-Line Evaluation
Brian Bitler emphasizes identifying mispriced lines and evaluating betting activity. His 24-13 NFL record produced $995 profit at a reported 24.0% ROI.
Big Al McMordie — Technical Handicapping Veteran
Big Al McMordie is known within the CappersPicks roster for technical handicapping and an award-winning background. He ranks fourth in this NFL snapshot at 25-15, with $846 profit and a 17.8% ROI.
Jack Jones — Established Long-Term Results
Jack Jones brings an established NFL history alongside his 29-19 recent record. His archived football results appear in the historical comparison below.
Dave Price — A Substantial NFL Track Record
Dave Price has one of the larger historical NFL samples among these experts. His roster lists 824 wins and 692 losses in NFL selections, while the current 60-day table shows 29-19 and $799 profit.
Brandon Lee — Strong Return Outside the Top Five
Brandon Lee ranks seventh by profit but fifth by ROI among these ten experts. His 24-15 record produced $753 profit and a 16.6% ROI.
Dana Lane — A Consistent Recent NFL Sample
Dana Lane checks in at 22-14, with $660 profit and a 15.7% ROI. His 36 graded decisions represent one of the smaller samples in this Top 10.
Frank Sawyer — Football-Specific Results
Frank Sawyer has a reported 26-18 NFL record in the snapshot, good for $601 profit and a 12.0% ROI. His roster also highlights a separate 30-of-46 NFL run.
That promotional stretch is separate from the 60-day table and should not be added to its win total.
Jim Feist — The Largest Recent Sample
Jim Feist closes the Top 10 at 32-23, with $560 profit and an 8.7% ROI. His 55 graded decisions are the most of anyone in this particular ranking.
Best NFL Handicappers of All Time: Historical Records
Current rankings are useful, but an experienced bettor should also ask what happened before this season. Historical NFL records provide a longer view, particularly when graded picks run into the thousands.
| NFL Expert | W-L | Profit | Tracked Since |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matt Fargo | 1,183-999 | +$8,151 | 9/4/08 |
| Jack Jones | 679-543 | +$7,624 | 11/20/16 |
| Dave Price | 824-692 | +$6,146 | 9/30/12 |
Historical data note: These figures come from a separate archived NFL tracking table using flat $100 bets. Start dates differ, and the figures aren’t interchangeable with the current CappersPicks 60-day results or independently confirmed lifetime totals.
Fargo has the largest historical sample of these three, with 2,182 graded decisions. Jack Jones shows the highest reported profit relative to his smaller number of picks, while Dave Price offers another substantial NFL history.

Recommended Sportsbooks for NFL Picks
I’ve spent years evaluating sportsbooks at CappersPicks, and I don’t hand out recommendations because somebody flashes a big signup bonus. We keep our lineup selective and pay attention to how sportsbooks treat customers after the deposit clears.
Reputation and payout history come first. I also evaluate NFL betting odds, limits, available football bets, customer service, banking options and feedback from CappersPicks readers.
If a sportsbook stops meeting our standards, it doesn’t deserve a permanent spot on the list.
RAZOR’S TAKE: A sportsbook can advertise the biggest bonus in football. If I don’t trust its payouts or how it handles customer problems, that bonus doesn’t impress me.
Compare the current lineup, reviews and account details on our recommended sportsbooks page. The list below provides a starting point for finding an NFL sportsbook that fits your needs.
Availability, licensing and player protections vary by sportsbook and location.

Razor’s Final Take on the Best NFL Handicappers
Fargo owns the top spot in this October 20 snapshot. For a bettor choosing whom to follow, I would compare the current NFL results with each expert’s longer history and pick frequency before buying a package.
RAZOR RAY’S TAKE: A handicapper earns attention with results and keeps it by delivering over time. I don’t care how impressive the sales pitch sounds if the NFL record can’t back it up.
