This week is what I love about the NFL and doing these picks.
It's also what gives me so much frustration lol.
I went 8-8 for the week.
A lousy 50% which brought my overall season winning percentage down to 68.75%
Through 3 weeks, the home team is winning 66.67% of the time. So you could just pick the home team every game and do just about as well.
Or could you?
Let's take a look at the 2 previous years and compare:
After 3 weeks in 2012 the home team had only won 50% of the time. By the end of the 2012 season, the home team had won 57.03% - 146 out of 256 games.
After 3 weeks in 2011 the home team had won 64.583% of the time. By the end of the 2011 season, the home team had only won 56.64% - 145 out of 256 games.
It seems like it should be easy enough to pick the winner at least 2/3 of the time. But it's not that easy.
A few surprises this week:
Houston only scoring 9 points and Baltimore scoring 30.
Carolina shutting out NYG while putting up an amazing 38.
Cleveland scoring 31 points after all the distractions last week.
NYJ scoring 27 points.
Indianapolis 27 - SF 7.
Tomorrow I will make my predictions for week 4
