So week 3 is in the books, and my pick of the week again failed to come through for me. I had the Tampa Bay Buccaneers + 1.5 at home against the Steelers, and they lost 30-27 despite a late comeback effort. Lots of money came in on the Bucs over the week, who ended up being  1.5 point favorites, but I had recommended buying them earlier in the week when they were still dogs. It didn't even matter, however. This makes me an embarrassing 0-3 on the season with my POTW.  Ugh....... It's ok, I plan on finishing strong!  At least I'm doing well with my college picks (3-1 so far).

And once again my 3 team parlay didn't fare so well. I had the Browns on TNF, and they won (and covered) for the first time in years! But the Pats and Bucs let me down.

I didn't have an Underdog POTW, as that was my pick on the Bucs, who were dogs when I released it.

So, on to next week. I'll release my 3-team parlay pick on Thursday, my College POTW on Friday, and my pro pick on Saturday. Be sure and click subscribe or follow to get notified when I release the picks.  And good luck everybody.

Other things I found interesting:

In the Broncos-Ravens game there were not one, but two pick-6's called back for dumb ass penalties on the returns!  This perfectly illustrates what makes handicapping football so difficult.  A pick-6 is a potential 14 point swing away from one team towards the other. It's tough to survive that, as a bettor, when most point spreads are 6.5 points or less.

Elsewhere, two of the leagues best teams mailed it in Sunday  and were rewarded with embarrassing losses against two of the worst. Minnesota and New England each get my "bag of assholes" award, the first I've given out this year, for their low-energy effort in grasping defeat from the jaws of easy victory. Buffalo, Cleveland and Detroit are still among the top competitors for next year's number one draft pick (along with Oakland).
