Amazing, the two "BIG" games this week are virtual coin tosses.
ReplyDeleteGiants in a squeaker, at 0.5009.
ReplyDeleteWow, you sure were right about the Giants!
ReplyDeleteThe model only went 8-8 this week. You could say it was its worst week ever. But I would say it was among its best weeks. Why?
ReplyDeleteBecause it was a week full of upsets. Consensus favorites, defined by Vegas favorites, were 6-10.
The way I look at it, the model was +2.
Nothing says that the NFL's upsets need to be evenly paced throughout each week of the season.
I think the model was 7-9, not 8-8
ReplyDeleteIND, NO, MIA, ATL, NE, NYG, SF, CHI. I count 8.
