Jets were the home team, the Bills turned the ball over like 4 times and the Jets would've won if they didn't gently caress up any of a bunch of different things (or simply not have CJ Mosley get injured), makes total sense to have picked them.

It is for this reason I cant choose the patriots.

Bill is gonna play this like a preseason game, and run damien harris like 40 times and the phins just might pull it off somehow.

well if I just picked the line on every single game, that wouldn't be very fun, would it? I already took too many Vegas favorites for my own taste last week :colbert: I like to ride that lightning, baby

Ravens do a ludicrously good job against rookie QBs, and the only times they've lost has been when the opposing defense has shut them down. I don't think the Cardinals, down both their top corners and allowing free real estate to TE across the middle of the field, are going to be able to do that.

I don't think that the Ravens will cover the spread, but this is probably one of the safest matchups they have this year.

Week 3 seems pretty straightforward: Cowboys in regular, Jets in reverse. Maybe 49ers in regular if Ben is out?

This game came pretty drat close, all things considered. I'm glad I chose the Pats.

OK so I swear I grabbed an early be against the dolphins at -21 before it started moving up this Monday and now it is showing up as a bet on the seahawks. I don't want it changed I just want to report a possible bug or just sloppy clicking by me.

This happened to me for MNF pick'em, I was absolutely certain I took the Browns and when I checked the other day, I had ended up with a pick for the Jets. I am pretty sure it was just sloppy clicking and not double-checking in my case.

That being said, I'm rolling with a ~71% success rate on picks so far. I ought to take a page outta Farrell's book and start selling these picks. I'm dynamite so far

I do not wear this mask to protect me. I wear it to protect you from me.

Pickem was brutal this week.

Titans were picked 85 times to Jags 39, they lost.
Eagles were picked 128/7 over Lions, etc.
Cardinals were picked 95/40 over Panthers, etc.
Buccs were picked 117/18 over Giants.
Chargers were picked 92/43 over Texans.
Seahawks were picked 123/12 over Saints.

Add the Falcons slim margin over the Colts and 7 of 15 the favorites lost so far.

Bucs seem like a good reverse pick for week 4. Startlingly few decent picks for regular outside of the obvious, which could lead to a massive bloodbath if the Dolphins win. But the comedy value would be worth it IMO.

"Bet against the Dolphins" was still a winning strategy.

HSTS is working exactly as it should, but our email provider is re-writing the URLs in the email to include this tracking domain redirect to monitor click-throughs via their interface, which it should not be doing. It was not doing that in previous weeks, so something appears to have changed on their end. I'm digging into it with them.

The joys of running a web app on the internet abound ad infinitum, y'all.
