Quote of the Week:

"I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it." - President Thomas Jefferson

NFL PRESEASON - WEEK 3

Some Trends to consider:

ATS in week 3 of preseason the Jets are 11-1, San Diego is 7-1, Seattle is 17-3 and Tennessee and Washington are 5-1 each.

The over total’s record for week 3 for the Rams is 9-1 and Kansas City is 14-3.

Erickson is 5-0 in week 3 as a coach and San Francisco is 5-0 SU and ATS after back-to-back losses. They are 0-2 right now.

Denver was the first 0-2 team this year; last year 0-2 teams went 3-2 ATS. The trend is pretty much the same over the past 7 years. Teams that have started out 0-2 are 30-21 for a winning percent of 59% during the preseason. Of course Denver won last week so the record this year is 1-0 for 0-2 teams and 31-21 over the past 7 years.

This week we have three 0-2 teams taking the field.

San Francisco (0-2) is at Minnesota

Arizona (0-2) is home against the Raiders.

St. Louis (0-2) is at home against the Redskins

From The Nose Bleed Section:

Thanks New Orleans for giving the game away to Green Bay. An interception in the red zone and then another turned into a pick six just killed our play. To top things off, they turn it over again in the 4th quarter. What the hell is going on?

The football gods are teasing us but what comes around goes around and the corner is near. Please remember that these are just our free picks and our guaranteed picks will have thehooks backing of 60% or better once the season starts.

How can the LAMBS only score once against the helpless defense of Kansas City? There is no way that games stays under in the regular season unless Kansas City really has a defense. NO, impossible, the CHEFS with a D? I will be running for PRESIDENT this year too.
