🏈🐶 Nutildah's NFL Upset of the Week Competition 🏈🐶

The news Lamar is not going to play is probably lagging.

Could be but you can place a bet on Bears +2.5 right now for good odds

I like the Giants to beat Philly this week. Giants are 7.5 point underdogs and after last weeks embarrassing loss to Denver I look for them to come out strong against the semi struggling Eagles. Eagles are having issues in their brotherhood, Brown is acting like a diva, Barkley couldn't run to the End Zone if no-one was tackling him, and Hurts isn't leading very well IMO.

A betting man should take Giants+7.5 but I love them to win outright.

OK I have one for Week 8: Bears (+2.5) to beat the Ravens.

Aw man, what a thrashing. I didn't expect the Ravens to do that well but they crushed the Bears, along with my hopes. Bears had been doing pretty well previous to this matchup, but Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers turned up the heat.. Ravens had been on a downslide since losing Lamar Jackson. Am almost happy for them, if I didn't have to add 1 more loss to my record.

It wasn't the worst pick and the Dart/Skatteboo dynamic certainly has been encouraging for Giants fans, but that chapter seems to have already come to an end, at least for now. For the last 3 weeks peeps were saying "Skatteboo plays like he wants to get injured," and then sure enough, he got injured.

What is everyone's prediction on the San Diego Chargers? The hype is behind them this season, however, will they win against the spread against the Titans with +10. The game will also be on the Titans' field which might give them an advantage, I reckon.

I am not making a prediction that the Titans will win, however, with +10, there is certainly a chance that they are very much underestimated by the sportsbooks.

[nutildah]

Okay, I need a bunch of right picks in the row if I want to end the season above 500.

Giants at home against the Niners... hmm... Taking the Bills over the Chiefs is also interesting. But I need to go with something a bit more conservative since I'm desperate for a W. I will take the Broncos to cover +2 against the Texans at home.

Could be. Titans are pretty sucky but Chargers have flashed glimpses of suckiness themselves this season. I'd say the chance of Chargers losing is about 5% and chance of them not covering the spread is about 55%.

For picks against the spread I like Carolina to cover +12. That's a bigger spread and I like Carolina better.

Alright, chalk another point in the W column. Broncos beat the Texans by 3. That feels like so long ago as already played this week, a very underwhelming performance against the Raiders. Probably cost a lot of people their pickem pick.

Let's face it: there's a lot of brutal matchups this week which are destined for double-digit slaughters. Therefore I will not be making a very brave pick, like last week. The only game that stands out to me is the Patriots being 2.5 point underdogs against the Buccaneers. It is a home game for Tampa Bay and Baker Mayfield has been doing quite well, but you have to admit it, Patriots have been on fire recently. Drake Maye has a good chance of winning Rookie of the Year, and I don't think anyone thought the Pats would be doing as well as they are now.

Anyway, I'm taking Pats as my Dog of the Week for Week 10.

[nutildah]

A lot of great match-ups this week, no real run-aways, only a handful of games with 7+ point spreads. There is only 1 upset for Week 11 whose chances really appeal to me, and that is the Las Vegas Raiders upsetting the Cowboys at home. Line is currently -3.5 or -4 Cowboys. But who really likes them, not me. Brock Bowers is becoming a titan, Ashton Jeanty is a great RB, and well Geno Smith is notoriously the weakest link. Cowboys have a great offense but I'm counting on Raiders to get a little home field magic to help push them to a narrow V.

[nutildah]

I've been doing a lot of reading in anticipation of this evening's game and I feel, like, fairly confident about it. I think the Cowboys will come out with the juggernaut O that we are expecting, but on the other side of the field the Raiders will move the ball down pretty quick. The real W this week would have been taking the Panthers who were underdogs to the Atlanta Falcons yesterday, for whatever reason. The line was -3 Atlanta, but really didn't make a whole lot of sense because the first time these two teams met this year, Panthers blew the Falcons out of the water, 30-0.

Anyway, let's go Raiders!

[nutildah]

Alright, so I chalked up another L in that column... I really don't know what I was thinking. But I have another hunch that is as strong as my last correct pick, which was a few weeks back. For Week 12 I like the Indianapolis Colts to beat the Kansas City Chiefs at home. Colts are one of the best teams in the league right now and on an upward trajectory, meanwhile the Chiefs have been floundering & can't seem to get it together. Line is currently -3.5 Chiefs so Colts are a certified underdog.

[nutildah]

There is one underdog I really like for Week 13 and that is the Steelers to upset the Bills, who are currently 3 point favorites. There are a couple of things going in the Steelers' direction: Aaron Rogers will be returning and they are playing at home. Steelers will blitz Josh Allen often who has been prone to taking sacks recently; at least more often than usual. Allen has also been throwing more INTs and on top of that he's dealing with a shoulder injury.

Steelers have been picking up the pace, looking like a real team instead of a novelty act. There's a good chance they'll lose but I like their chances more than any other dog, which makes them the dog of the week.

Wrong again, but thats OK because these are upsets. I don't have a whole lot of time to go into it this week but I like the Chargers to beat the Eagles at home. Just wanted to get it down for the record.

Hooray! +1

I will have to retally everything at the end of the season. OK so for Week 15 there really only 1 underdog that I like in any capacity and that is the Broncos to beat the Packers at home. They are currently only +1.5 point dogs, but I think playing at home will really push them over the top as they are more used to the effects of the elevation.
