Things are looking up, but as with my fantasy teams, I did so much damage early on, I’m not sure I can dig out of the hole. Nonetheless I was working the shovel last week to go 4-1 on the Normal entries and 3-2 on the Ugly. I’m now 14-16 in the former and 15-14-1 in the latter.

Let’s take a look at this week’s games:

It turns out I was within two points on every single game, both my lines and the guessed lines, so nothing big is coming out of this. There’s also QB uncertainty with Trevor Lawrence Thursday night and Deshaun Watson. Just occurred to me, what happens when Watson needs body work now? Do they just assign him a masseur instead of a masseuse? Or can they chance it?

In any event, I don’t have any really strong leans right now, but by Friday night, after looking over the slate a few times, I’ll go with some feel picks as usual.

Right now, maybe the Falcons, Eagles and Patriots seem like plays, just based on the recent ebb and flow of the games, but I’ll have my final picks in a few days.
