Tonights Game REALLY Opened my Eyes....in my ATS PickEM league, we pick the board so weekly, I MUST have a Pick for EVERY SINGLE GAME and my early leans was 100% on TB but about 3hrs prior to this tilt, I not only changed to TB, it became a 2u play! Reasoning is in my TNF Thread but ill copy n past here.....
"Ya know what's really funny about this Wager.... My Leans were 100% Tampa Bay, in 2013 Home Dawgs are LIVE and hitting BIG Time so at 1st glance I just thought "NFC South Divisions Games getting Points - Gimme that All Day!" .... BUT After further digging, the Panthers are hot as of late, going 3-1 in their last 4 games plus the talent is undeniable. Losing the Muscle Hamster is the "OBVIOUS Angle" and for whatever reason the Carolina DEF is So goddamn Underrated!!
I know hindsight is ALWAYS 20-20 but this would've been the premise of my write-up, the obvious loss of Dougie, combined with TB's AWFUL current QB situation, and the #1 angle for me is the un-explainable public deception of Carolina's DEF being HUGELY Underrated, they're TOP 5 and do not get even Close to the Credit they deserve! There wasn't a CHANCE IN HELL that Tampa Bay's Replacement Players; Glennon and Mike James could penetrate the Panthers #1 DEF for more than 17, I don't give a garbage if they score in Garbage Time, that means nothing bc if that's happening; we're already LOCKED into a Cover!

Last week was extremely tough for me to Handicap, admittedly (other than the Top-5 Picks) & this week appeared to be Just as Difficult to Wrap my Head Around and understand.... My "handicapping instincts" were completely off, hence me immediately picking an Inner Division Home-dawg, despite injuries - it just looked "EASY" ...This game Genuinely OPENED MY EYES!!! I have a feeling Week 8 just went from another Difficult Week to Handicap to a Week where I'm VERY Confident it'll be fairly profitable. I do need to be extremely careful with money management but that's obviously the #1 most important angle of sports betting to begin with... My point is that I think MY MIND-SET is back where it should be! Lets just hope I can transfer that into PROFIT!
