They were that one surprise upset that happens in week 1 every year. Detroit could be another upset tomorrow with the Jets surprising and getting the win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Well, my advice was correct regarding New Orleans and Pittsburgh (don't take them), and I should have been correct with the Packers as well.  My only flaw was liking the Lions, but I kept 4 of my 6 picks alive (2 in each pool) with the Panthers and Rams.

Panthers were a good choice but felt risky to me, cowboys could have been a surprise win if Dak and Zek were able to get hot. Panthers can be tricky. The Rams seemed like a hot pick but from what I saw not as many as I thought would had picked them. Guess there was still the questions Bout whether Gruden was gonna be a difference maker after being off the sidelines for so long and if the Rams would regress from last year. Up until the half it looked little dicey.  Cleveland made to many big moves this offseason to make the Steelers a lock pick against them, gotta give them few weeks to see if they are the same old browns before using the pick whomever plays the Browns strategy that has work for so many the last few years.  New Orleans getting beat was the big shock, and theres always usually at least one to start the year. They probably would have had more casualties if they weren't a team most people like to keep in their back pocket for wins later on.

row_33 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Chargers, Saints, Rams look like the best options. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridrick Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 my other thought is new orleans now... lofty spread at home . Lot of people will be saying "oh so now you win" Also dont really see much use for them down the road. Hosting Washington in game 5 but with the new quarterback the skins probably win the turnover battle there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gridrick Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 well i have won one before. it gets exciting. you gotta take a little risk and stay away from the road most traveled sometimes. So right now i'm thinking Saints, 49ers Bears or skins. ...i know i know a lot of people dont give a damn what i'm thinking. The natrure of the nfl is a back and forth leauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

co_springs_billsfan Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I locked in the Rams this week (2). Then I saw they were the biggest favorite.  I don't think "saving" a team for later in the season is wise when the season is so young - so few teams are consistently good from one year to the next, better to see how teams start to look before taking "riskier" picks IMO.

I was leaning that way too, right now I have the Saints, but have been debating changing the pick. I'm hesitant on whether the Texans are really that good though, they are supposed to have a really bad line too. After last night the Chargers moved up as another possibility too.....
