We're back, folks! After posting a 77-58-4 record ATS last year, I believe that's now three consecutive years with a record above 50% (someone may want to fact check that). I'll be honest and say I haven't followed the NFL as religiously this offseason so that could hurt me. I will also warn that the first three weeks might be a bit of a crapshoot. Week 1 I'll be in Philly to watch the Eagles/Browns game, so I'll miss all of the other morning games and will likely not be sober for the afternoon and evening games (okay so the second part of that isn't really different from previous years). Week 2, I'm going to my buddy's resort on Pender Island for the weekend so it's unlikely I'll catch any of the games unless his WiFi is a lot better than I'm expecting it to be.
I'm still debating doing a podcast this year, but I might do a format where I make picks against my idiot friend who loves football but knows dick all about it, so stay tuned for that if I get around to it.
I made some side future bets as well, which I'll spoiler below:
Now on to the week 1 picks! I don't normally do the Thursday night games but I always make an exception for opening week.
