With this week's NFL games, the first of October, it's time to put the stink of my picks in September away. I went 8-8 straight up last week and 6-9-1 against the spread. That brings my straight-up record to 29-19 for the season.
My ATS mark is a dismal 21-26-1. Let's just say I am happy October is here. The first two weeks of October are when we start getting a true gauge on the NFL teams.
We find out who is a contender or pretender. That makes it a little easier to pick games. The goal now is to get over .500 ATS.
Then it's time to act like a contender. Can you believe this is a big game in the AFC North? Both teams are 2-1 and the Browns are one of the surprise teams so far.
The Steelers looked good last week, beating the Bengals, but the Browns have played well against them in Cleveland. Both teams won for the first time last week and now head to London to play this week. Then Colts defense showed improvement last week, while the Commanders defense made some big plays.
Look for the Colts and Commanders to both score a lot, but it's the Colts who will win it late. The Patriots are on the road for the second straight week and they are coming off a bad showing at Jacksonville. Drake Maye is struggling.
