Ya, what should happen and what actually ends up happening can be two different things (understatement alert).
If you can just pick winners straight up at a 2:1 ratio, that is very good. For example, on any given week, if you can pick correctly 10 or 11 of 16 games, that is very good. Anything less, not so hot. Picking spread winners is that much tougher.
New England (1-1) vs. Baltimore (1-1) - one of these teams is going to be 1-2 on Monday morning. Who'dve thunk it?
Cleveland, Tennessee, Jacksonville, KC, New Orleans and Oakland could be 0-3 on Monday morning. At least a couple of these teams aren't that bad..... but a slump can happen even at the start of a season.
I'm seeing several potential upsets this week.... Arizona (at home) could very well beat Philly, Seattle (at home) could beat Green Bay on MNF - wouldn't surprise me at all...
