Starting out with a loser is always rough, but it's a long season, so I'm not getting too worked up about it. It's my own fault-- I almost always play with the house (but never against), and I left two winners on the board with Atlanta and Miami (in both cases, the heavily bet sides [Pats and Saints] didn't move the line too terribly much, as Vegas was trying to attract money to the Pats and Saints to clean up.. and clean up they did!). Miss out on those.
The Green Bay was a little frustrating because of the rather unusual Packer miscues. Some of those 1st half mistakes were just killer, and seemed to happen just when the momentum was seemingly shifting. Those mistakes against that team-- that's how competitive games and 'dog covers turn into blowouts. I really was banking on GB playing sharp and smart, but they let me down.
The Dallas game was just a debacle. Those early mistakes cost what should have been a solid Dallas cover.
At least my total play was good-- I was worried when Philly basically spotted the Jags 17 points, but they kept it under the number (barely).
The most entertaining game might have been the "almost" comeback from the heart attack Colts. I love watching Andrew Luck bring that team roaring back, as he did so many times last season. Not quite enough to tie it late, but after the first half, coming back to get the cover was pretty solid.
Man, the Giants suck. Not as bad as my picks for Week 1, but it was close.
NFL 2014 Week 1: 1-2
NFL 2014 Season Total:1-2
