Week 2 winners.

It was the worst Sunday I've had in at least 15 years betting football. Not in terms of how much $ I lost as I wager lot less than I used to, and I no longer bet exotics or chase until I lose my limit, etc. But in terms of absolute futility in a Sunday card, and it being Week 1 makes it so much worse. 3 straight bets. Lost 26-16. 20-0. 23-3. Two 2 team teasers. All 4 teams in those teasers lost, and lost bad. 0-5 on the day with my wagers. 0-7 in a Covers contest I'm in. 2-11 that day in a pick all game pool. Lost my suicide pool. NIGHTMARE. 

No biggie though. It's a little disconcerting for this to happen Week 1, but gotta laugh it off, and look to pick it back up the next couple weeks. 

Only game I locked up is Indianapolis +7. I'll be back tomorrow to give my reasoning. 

Looking at this week, I can't find a single favorite I feel comfortable playing. I really try to avoid cards that are all dog, all chalk, all road, all anything, but I really don't see any way around it. GB+3, Philly +5.5, NO+6, Minnesota +6, SF +14 are all on my radar right now. Sometime in next day, I'll narrow down and post. 

Anyone last week who tailed, or read my weiteups and were influenced by any of the losers I gave out, I apologize. It was a complete joke and not even CLOSE! And the only game that was close was Wash plus 7.5 in a teaser, and refs blew a call with 6 minutes on a Fum6 that finished me off in that one. Just brutal! 

Keep your head up big guy 

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

First couple of weeks are always a trying time for a lot of people betting on the Big Boys.

Keep doing your thing and it will all balance out in the end

Didnt get to find any time this weekend to go into detail about any plays or possible plays, but got a few minutes now to post really quick. 

Indy +7. Why back a team who looks SO bad? Really just a play based on typical overreaction of Week 1. Week 2 I always try to find squads who opened up on the road, and didn't look very good and maybe got ran out of a stadium, who now are home and preferably playing a team who looked decent at home Week 1 and going on the road. It usually leads to some lines which were adjusted a bunch on overreaction to that first week. Zona wasn't home last week, but the line still is Indy getting a TD at home. Taking a shot here. 

NY Giants -3 -120. Same line of thinking here. Giants looked AWFUL last week on the road to a really good football team while the Lions surged late and walloped Zona at home. Now Giants home/lions road. I can't help but wonder what the line would have been if the Giants came out and beat Dallas like a lot of people thought they would, and if Detroit played the second half the way they played the first. -6? -7? I think the Giant D is good enough to stifle Lions, and that offense does JUST enough to grind out a 7-10 point win in front of the home crowd. 

Minnesota +(right now they +6.5 EV; waiting on 7, but +6 or higher I'm taking regardless, hopefully it ticks up). Great matchup here between Pitt offense, and a Minn defense that people forgot just how good they can be. I think they slow down Pitt, and on the other side Minn racks up some points on their weak D. 

Philly +5.5. Line to me just seems a bit high. Philly has a decent enough D to keep KC bottled up and I think this is a close game either way. 

GB(snoozed on +3 earlier in week, hoping to get it again, if not probably will take them ML over 2 or 2.5). Atlanta all preseason and for a good chunk of last week looked lost out there offensively. Kyle Shanahan really was the heart of Matt Ryan going from an above average QB who was good enough to get the playoffs but not do much in the playoffs to running an offensive juggernaut in 2016 and parts of 2015. New crew in there with Shanahan leaving and they aren't looking so hot. GB comes out with a win IMO. 

Also was leaning really hard on Saints +6, SF+14 but gonna pass on those. Outside of the Giants who I bet, and maybe TB, I just can't find many favorites who I liked at all this week to lay any kind of points let alone most spreads in the TD range if not higher. Maybe Oakland if they aren't looking past the Jets?  

Looking to bounce back strong. GL to all! Seems like a lot of people struggled this past weekend. Time to regroup, get even in the next couple weeks, and then back to business.
