    Maybe it's me, but so far this year it seems like last year's shit teams aren't as shitty. Or is it that the good teams just aren't ready yet?

    I feel like my homework is good, but damn, the NFL is hard as hell right now. I can't pick my nose. Just a brutal weekend.

    Tonight's game really comes down to this: Who shows up?

    Do we get the Rams from Week 1 or the Rams from last season?

    Same with the G-Men. Do we get the Giants from last week or last year's Giants?

    I'm leaning Rams.

     Be a contrarian. You have a chance to make money then.

     At this point being a contrarian means betting the exact opposite of whatever the hell I pick ??

    @DeadBishop1973

     I looked at the slate yesterday and listened to the voice inside my head…don’t do it, don’t do it, don’t do it. I saw the potential of head scratching upsets but my gut said just watch. As I stated in my post here week 1, the NFL season is a marathon. And I did not have the “woulda, coulda, shoulda” hindsight today. Nice.

    Good luck all. You prognosticators out there are sharp enough to find as we go into this season, our spots will pop up! On to week 3…

    If it looks easy, go the other way. You'll win more than you lose.

    I had success tailing some people yesterday on first halfs. For example, I took big on ravens 1st Q (thanks to wgomel) , also took 1st half spread on my on. Took colts and jags first half spreads. Jags and Ravens ended up being losers if I took full game. They looked good in first half but a lot of teams ended up choking leads yesterday and lose outright

    OP you should re-read your post. you correctly observe a pattern shift of lesser teams playing better, & vice versa. Saw that trend in the week 1 performances of the 2 teams playing tonight.

    then in conclusion you lean rams.

    confused

    no wonder your having a hard week you are fading your own correct observations.
