The NFL has historically been where I’ve been at my best, but after a fantastic Aussie Rules Football season and College Football off to a red hot start, it’s been the traditional Sunday time slots that have given me fits to start.
Week 1 I went 3-3. This past week, 4-3. That’s 7-6 overall, which is a real grind for profit. I think the NFL is tough to shake out before you have known quantities, so hopefully we’re at a spot now where we’ve got some overlapping data points and we can hit the ground running.
Here’s what I’ve got for Week 3.
NFL Plays
Indianapolis -3.5 - The Colts cost me last week, coming from behind to win on a last second FG. I guess that offense can play ball, even against quality defenses, which the Titans do not have.
New England +1.5 - Give me the fightin’ Mike Vrabels at home against the oldest starting QB in the league.
LA Rams +3.5 - I have a suspicion that the Eagles are gonna get smacked around by a really tough Rams team here, getting more than a FG on the road.
Las Vegas +3.5 - Jayden Daniels is banged up, but I’m assuming he plays and is fine. I think Pete Carroll’s got a couple wrinkles up his sleeve to handle the shifty QB.
Dallas +1.5 - Look, I believe in Ben Johnson and this Bears team, and I’m not sold on the Cowboys, but I don’t know how the Bears are favored in this one. Take the points.
NY Giants +6.5 - The Chiefs are going to win this one, let’s not get crazy. But I think the Chiefs are mid and the Giants are getting almost a touchdown at home. Say it with me: That’s too many points.
Detroit +5.5 - This one seems to be moving Baltimore’s way, but I’m pouncing now. The last time the Lions got blown out, it was against this Ravens team and I think they’ve got a score to settle. I think this one ends up an instant classic, so give me the points.
There’s another seven plays for you. Hopefully we see better than .500 performance this week! Let me know if you’ve got a play you like!
"That's too many points!" Love it
