Week 1 Picks Everyone Got Wrong

My picks came out 10-5 straight up and 6-6-3 ATS this week. If you’re wondering where the 16th game is from that record, I abstained from the Eagles game since I would have been stoned to death if I were to say that the Packers would win and/or cover due to my allegiance to my team. I’ll take a .500 week ATS in week 1 of the NFL and look to improve next week.

It seems like nobody saw the 49ers or Chargers losing this week. Here is a screen shot of Yahoo’s picks straight up, not even against the spread. As far as consensus picks against the spread are concerned, the one place you want to check other than THE PASS RUSH of course is CBS’s Expert Picks who call the games against the spread, unlike Yahoo and ESPN who just make their picks straight up. 2/5 of CBS’s team called Seattle and Kansas City to cover so props to those guys.

Yahoo, on the other hand, did not see the 49ers and Chargers losses coming.
