Week 3 - NFL Contrarian Pool Picks

[Chcbleachers]

YTD (through week 2:

80%+ games: 2-2
70%+ games: 3-3

Week 3 Picks - going opposite the money:

NY Giants (73%) : LOSS

Seattle (73%) - take Bears
Indy (75%) - take TN
Pitt (78%) - take STL
Carolina (75%) - take New Orleans
Arizona (74%) - take SF
Denver (78%) - take Detroit
GB (76%) - take KC

No big plays this week as nothing is over 80%, yet I'll probably toss a good amount on TN, STL, and Detroit. These are horrible picks, so that makes me feel pretty good at going 2-1.

You bet like this blind? I'm mostly contrarian myself but good Lord don't be a tool and just pick blind to fade public that can get you buried deep some weeks! Be smart and selective pick your spots like anything else and remember public bets win to! Bol

This is from his own pool. These are guys that were fade worthy most of last season.

Chc - What already does your pool have on the Saints game?

[Chcbleachers]

I've been doing this for years and it wins every year. The betting public knows nothing. Big plays last year were 10 games over .500. Plus, since every dummy seems to bet all favorites (and I take all the crappy dogs), I can hedge out in the 3Q or 4Q on a ML on the original favorite to win the game (and still not cover the point spread) and tween it.

If winning cash every year courtesy of the chumps that bet favorites every week mean that I am a tool, then so be it.

sorry, just saw this. Only 21% took the Saints at the time of kickoff. Just missed the magic 80% mark where I back up the truck.
