So in the interest of full disclosure, I am writing this at 12:21pm. So I have to be very brief. It’s been a tough season, but enjoyable thus far. Have a look at how we did in Week 3:
Week 3 Records
Blind Owl: 6-10
Concret3Cowboy: 9-7
BrendawnoftheDead: 7-9
It is pretty simple here. I suck. Brendawn sucks less. The Cowboy is good.
Total Records
Blind Owl: 19-26-1
Concret3Cowboy: 26-19-1
BrendawnoftheDead: 24-23-1
See what I mean? It’s been the same all year. Boo hiss.
Here’s Week 4. I hope I suck less…
DAL @ NYG: DAL -6
Blind Owl: Would I? Should I? I want to…but I can’t. Can I? I’m very tempted. But I refuse. The Cowboys are the definition of high expectations falling flat on their face. Lucky for them, the Giants are just awful. So I’ll take the Cowboys but I wouldn’t be shocked if they blew it. It’d be funny though.
Concret3Cowboy: WELP
BrendawnoftheDead: Did picking the Cowboys hurt my record last week? Yes. Was I mad about them losing? Not even a little. Let's do the same thing this week. They're the better team and should cover handily, so I'll pick them but it would be hilarious if they lost to Danny Derps and Co. Signing replacement level players at running back won't hurt vs this team, but the Cowboys won't make it far if they continue to be one dimensional.
DEN @ NYJ: NYJ -7.5
Blind Owl: The Broncos looked good last week. But I don’t see it happening again. The Jets have looked better. They played the smack down upon the Pats. It’s going to be ugly for Denver. The jets will win big.
Concret3Cowboy: Broncos have had a hard time stopping Hall over the years. Yet, don’t think the Jets run away with the game. Jets win but it’ll be close.
BrendawnoftheDead: never thought I would be picking the Jets to cover a spread greater than 3 but here we are. The Broncos beat a sleep walking Bucs last week and will have some false confidence facing a much better defense. Bo Nix will look more like Bo Nix from week 2 vs 3, and the Jets take this one handily.
NE @ SF: SF -10
Blind Owl: 10 points is a lot. Especially since the Pats hand a decent defense. They just can’t score. The 49ers are best up, so I’ll take NE but they’ll lose. Just not by 10.
Concret3Cowboy: Pats stink, SF laid a stinker last week. 49ers win by 17.
BrendawnoftheDead: The 49ers lost when they should've won and are upset. The Patriots are a bad football team with the worst kind of problem, a terrible offensive line. It does not matter who is under center if there is a plethora of free rushers every other snap. Deebo and kittle playing doesn't help either as the Patriots defense is already too injured to be effective.
MIN @ GB: GB -3
Blind Owl: This is a big rivalry at my school. One guy loves Minnesota, one guy loves Green Bay. In person, I supported the Vikings only because I didn’t have a Green Bay hat to wear to school. Now that I’ve had some time to think, I have 0 confidence that Sam Darnold can keep this up. With that said, I have to ride the hot hand. Give me the Vikes. Even though Jordan Love is back. It won’t matter.
Concret3Cowboy: Packers stink. Minnesota has a good offense and a good defense so they’ll keep it together this week.. not a Love guy.
BrendawnoftheDead: I still don't trust the Vikings, probably because of Darnold but I also have no idea who Green Bay really is. I guess I'll take the Vikings to cover because Jordan love is coming off an injury?
BUF @ BAL: BAL -3.5
Blind Owl: AFC title game preview? Only if one of these teams can beat KC which is looking more and more unlikely. Buffalo has actually been surprising this year. Everyone thought they’d struggle due to the loss of what was thought to be all of their premiere talent. But guess what? Josh Allen is good. Like really good. Will it continue? I don’t know, but in this kind of game, smart money is taking the points. It’s going to be a close game so I’ll take a 3.5 point cushion. Nobody circles the wagons…
