Had a great weekend overall with NCAAF AND NFL. Had a late Play on North Texas, OMG that saved my account. But that's College talk, on with the Pros, I was big on JAX LW and it paid off huge! just got back from Vegas to collect. Plus, i had a secret play on Zona +10. Had a secret 2 team ML parlay went big on it too, JAX+PIT ML.
I know this sounds like a square play, but why go against the flow, 2 [0-1] teams, I think 1 team is hungrier.
Play 1
I Got the Buccaneers over the Browns this week because Tampa Bay has more stability at several important positions. Starting with the head coach, Todd Bowles has been with Tampa for years and knows this team well, while Cleveland is in its first season with Todd Monken as head coach. At quarterback, Baker Mayfield gets a big storyline against his former team, but more importantly, he has been Tampa’s established starter and just signed an extension. The Browns are putting Deshaun Watson back out there after he missed nearly two years, and in his first game back he was sacked five times and threw an interception in a 34-10 loss to Jacksonville.
At running back, I like what Tampa can get from its backfield against a Cleveland defense that struggled to keep Jacksonville under control. The bigger difference for me is at wide receiver, where the Bucs have a deep group led by players like Emeka Egbuka. Egbuka already had five catches for 63 yards in Week 1 and nearly broke a long touchdown, so I think he can create problems for Denzel Ward and the Browns secondary. On defense, Tampa has playmakers and two rookies, Rueben Bain Jr. and Josiah Trotter, listed as starters, giving the unit some young energy. The Bucs did give up 33 points to Cincinnati, but four lost fumbles were responsible for 24 of those Bengals points, so I don't expect that turnover problem to happen every week. Cleveland has to improve after getting crushed 34-10 and falling behind 24-0 by halftime. With Tampa at home, Baker motivated against his old team, and the Bucs having more continuity on offense, My prediction: Tampa Bay wins 27-13.

My pick last week was way off, Deshaun watson wants a job, Baker got his bag so he's cozy with losing.
I did good week1, did bad week2, so Lets get iT! week 3
Point Play 1:
The Texans have the much stronger run defense. They have allowed 171 rushing yards, or 85.5 per game. Opponents average only 3.9 yards per carry against them.
The Colts have allowed 354 rushing yards, or 177 per game. They are giving up 5.4 yards per carry. That means Houston should try to run the ball early and often. If the Texans run successfully, they can avoid long third downs and control the clock.
Indianapolis must find a way to slow Houston's running game. The Colts also need a strong performance from Jonathan Taylor because running against Houston will be harder than running against most teams.
Neither offense has been great, but Houston has the better defensive matchup. The Texans should be able to run against Indianapolis, while the Colts may struggle to run against Houston.
Turnovers could keep the game close. Still, Houston's advantage against the run should be the biggest factor.
Final score prediction: Texans 24, Colts 20.
HOU -1'
