Week 3 Review
Another week, another 2-1 outcome. Our Lock of the Lions made it through, although it was closer than I wanted to see. It’s probably time we start giving the Las Vegas Raiders some credit, as they are 3-0 and beat the New Orleans Saints. The Chiefs predictably beat up on the Dolphins. It was a tight week across the NFL, but Rule 1: No divisional games was ever present in the 3 games we had. The difference was 6, 3, and 2 points across those games.
It was another week that saw a ton of people (who probably don’t read this) get knocked out with Seattle losing to the Commanders. Our Trap game was once again almost an upset, with the Chargers having every opportunity to beat the Bills, but couldn’t capitalize on them.
Let’s remember our rules
1- No divisional games
2- Travel Kills. We want home games
3- Keep track of the Vegas odds
4- Avoid sparks (new coach, QB)
Week 4 picks
Lock
Ravens over Titans
The big win in Rio is going to be a catalyst for the Baltimore Ravens. While they won the game, they had every chance to lose it. Needing two last-second plays to win the game is not how they want to win, and they will work to be better.
The Titans are a hot mess. They scored 20 points in Week 2, but other than that they have only had 3 scoring drives. They won’t be able to keep up with the Ravens.
The Ravens have scored at least 17 points in every game and twice have scored over 30. With wide receiver Zay Flowers back on the field, there isn’t a clear way to hinder the Ravens. If you take away the pass, then Derrick Henry or Lamar Jackson beat you on the ground. Once you commit guys to that, Lamar airs it out to Flowers or Mark Andrews.
