I wouldn't exactly call 2 of your picks fading the public.
Fading the public would be taking Washington, NY Giants, New England, or Green Bay.
Baltimore is still a 4-1 team at home. Sure the Chargers or more of the media darling I suppose. The Chargers are bad against the run, but you forget that the Ravens entire RB corp is a bunch of castoffs due to injury. Latavius Murray who was cut to save money, Devonta Freeman, Ty Williams, and Leveon Bell. Lamar you say? Well the chargers are 6th best against QBs in fantasy terms. And that includes Mahommes, Dak, and Baker.
Cleveland seemed like a public fade until you consider many new factors.
1. Murray hurt his throwing shoulder, but he should play
2. Chandler Jones is Out
3. Arizona's Head Coach and QB Coach are both out with Covid
4. There will be 25mph winds during that game.
And Cleveland seems to be a pretty popular upset pick this week, because everyone wants to look like a genius betting against the undefeated team.
New England is a public fade, but everyone saw what they did to Tampa on SNF. And they're defense is ranked pretty high in both facets. And Dallas hasn't beaten New England since the 90s.
So you've got the right idea, but unfortunately there's good reasons for these lines to feel a bit off.

@slamspurs
Cleveland for sure is not a public fade but the Ravens and Patriots were my original picks and fall under that category...I added the Browns late and I wanted to keep all of my picks in one post. I picked the Browns because the Cardinals give up 139 on the ground per game and also because of the game being played in less than perfect conditions.
From those others you listed, I would imagine that the Bears would be the fade in their matchup with the Packers but those others you mention would qualify but I prefer the two that I chose.

Cleveland looks to be a public favorite...I threw them in at the end to keep all of my picks in one place. Didn't mean to confuse the issue.
Balty now looks to be just a slight public fade...whereas the Pats are still a strong public fade.
Now that Jon Gruden has been judged to be obsolete by the 'woke' state, let that be a warning to you okay? Oh, and let's go Brandon...

But the big money is on the Ravens.
Public is on the Chargers.
Herbert handles the Blitz better than any QB right now. Jackson is a close 2nd. I take the points.

Herbert has been playiing great...but his run D blows and the chickens could come home to roost against a good running team. Baltimore needs another RB to step it up on the ground besides Lamar.

Hope all is well brother. Nice call on Balt. And 90% of the touts I saw were on Clev. which usually means that's a better fade than the public. Wild ending to the NE game for sure. Stay strong and keep calling it like it is.

@mctrap
Yeah, that Cleveland game was over after the first quarter...the Pats had a real shot to close it out (tough loss)...Baltimore is looking elite IMO...I sent you a friend request as I wanted to send you a link that I found intriguing. Let's Go Brandon!!! BOL
