Playing the Odds: Touchdown Wire’s Week 3 NFL Preview

After a brutal start to the season, Mark Schofield is back to make his Week 3 selections against the spread. Things need to turn around in a hurry.

This experiment is not going well for our hero.

After a disappointing first week of picks, I thought that I would be able to right the ship. We got information in Week 1 that perhaps answered some questions about teams, and armed with that information I believed that we would be in better shape with the Week 2 picks.

Not so fast, my friends.

We struggled out of the gate, going 1-2 on the big three plays of the week. Overall? Last week was another sub-.500 performance, as I finished 6-10. That brings us to 2-4 on the six big plays so far, and to 9-18 on the season. Friends, we are off to a brutal start and honestly, it might be time to warm up someone in the bullpen.

Perhaps Week 3 will bring a change of fortunes.

It had better.

As always, picks are made against the spread and the odds are provided by our friends at Tipico. Please play responsibly, and maybe do not listen to me when you do…
