In all my years doing this game, I don't think I've ever seen five 0-3s in one week.

7 teams went 0-fer last week!?! Brutal, indeed.
NO @ IND 43.5 - under
JAX @ PIT 41.5 - over

Re: 2023 Three Best Bets -- Week 8
I made a mistake. I told you guys I don't watch NFL and that's still true but I did start listening to some "expert analysis" and have dropped in the standings since taking their advice. Lesson to be learned here is the experts are guessing just as much as everyone else.
I'm going back to the true guessing game.
PHI -6.5 (logic: eagles are at least a real thing. "Commander" is a terrible mascot)
KC -7.5 (Indians have been taming broncs since forever)
CHI +8.5 (again, at least a bear is a real thing)

Only two players over .500 for season. Overall we’d be better off just rolling the dice.Screw_Michigan wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 1:28 pmIn all my years doing this game, I don't think I've ever seen five 0-3s in one week.

Everyone is picking Philly over Washington. That should move the line, right?

If you didn't see it, watch the highlights. That was one of the funniest games I've ever seen

Re: 2023 Three Best Bets -- Week 8
I will check out the highlights.
I was watching the gametracker, Phibes.
The Giants had it in the bag, despite having basically NO passing offense at all.
Then they wet the bed at the end of regulation.
I know how crazy it was, how "lucky" the Jets got, and how I am -----> disappoint!
Silver lining.
No L for me.

Re: 2023 Three Best Bets -- Week 8
Oh man I needed BAL -8.5 as the last leg of a PICK 6 worth several thousand dollars. Terrible, terrible beat.
At least I went 3-0 here.

Re: 2023 Three Best Bets -- Week 8
I think I was 2-1. Finally broke through .500 for the season. I'm on a roll. Don't know why I ever trusted the Lambs.

When I first looked at the lines on Monday, I penciled the Rams in as one of my potential picks this week.Mikey wrote:Don't know why I ever trusted the Lambs.
G;ad I moved off that idea.
I've been kicking myself over this one.Biggie wrote:TEN +2.5
I initially posted TEN +2.5 as one of my picks this week, but when I found out on Friday that Tannehill was OUT, I deleted the pick.
Bummer.

First win by the Broncos against the Chefs in EIGHT years. Amazing. Even the losers get lucky sometimes.

Re: 2023 Three Best Bets -- Week 8
I had this one on as my second game because it was the only one close. It was so terrible. The teams were a combined 4-34 on 3rd down.Softball Bat wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2023 10:07 pm I will check out the highlights.

Lions punch in a 4 yd TD run late in the 4th, which puts the pt total over 45.5.poptart wrote:LV @ DET over 45.5
But wait...
It is called back on offensive holding.
The Lions subsequently miss a 26 yd FG.
lol
Not another point is scored the rest of the game.
This is as painful an 0-1-1 week as I can imagine.
Wait 'til next week...

You should be happy the Raiders didn’t lose by more.
Re: 2023 Three Best Bets -- Week 8
Even worse, Garroppollo managed to keep playing after that shot to the knee. Keep the faith Pops, maybe he'll get hit by a bus or something.

The Lions dominated the game and should have won by 20+.

Re: 2023 Three Best Bets -- Week 8
I'm so old that I remember when the Lions would get MNF or SNF games, they were basically guaranteed to be blown out. Like in 94 (or so) when they played the 9ers. Just a complete whitewash.Softball Bat wrote: ↑Tue Oct 31, 2023 1:55 pm The Lions dominated the game and should have won by 20+.
