Spreadex NFL Super Challenge 16/17

For what it’s worth, if I was playing, if go:
Jets - I’d make them favourites for this game, making 0 a good option.

Titans - +5.5 Titans D is solid, if the offence doesn’t gift 14 points this week should easily run the Lions close

49ers - +13.5 is huge! If they are half as good as they showed Monday they should cover that

Colts - +6 against a Siemian led offence with a hobbled Thomas

Jaguars - think should be favourites to win the game imo so +3 is a gift

Good luck!

Ok so deadline day is upon me so I have to make my picks. So here we go:-

  1. Jags +3 - Chargers in disarray again, we know both teams can score but we know Chargers are missing their main man again. Bad defense, loss of weapons, I can see Jags winning this outright.

  2. Packers -2 - I mostly watched the Titans/Vikings game last week and both teams were pretty bad. If not for the turnovers which got returned for TD’s (which in turn created more of them as the Titans got more desperate) it was equally bad from both of them. So… in that case I’ll take the better team to win by a FG or more.

  3. Bucs +6.5 - Palmer looks… off, and has done now for quite a while going back to the end of last season (including preseason fwiw). Until he shows up I can’t see them smashing anyone that can also put up points.

  4. Panthers -13.5 - Roads dogs with a big cap… historically shouldn’t be opposed but fuck it, panthers are clearly the better team, at home and in need of a win and have had more rest. It’s all there for a blowout win.

  5. Steelers -3 - Dalton usually loses in this spot and although these games are usually quite close I liked the look of their blowout win vs the skins. Kinda wish I’d have picked the Jets at this point though lol

Simon - Iike your picks, reasons all good and valid. Not sure about the Bengals/Steelers, I think that could go either way.

We’re still deliberating on some games but our entry will feature some of your picks too. I don’t think we’re the opposite way on any of yours, which furthers my confidence.

The only game that concerns me is the Tampa one I don’t agree arizona have better talent and can run the rock and will.

Steelers -3
Redskins -2.5
Giants -4.5
Jaguars +3
Packers -2

Malcy - what is your name in the comp?

Storm The Stars. I am right at the bottom seeing as I joined after the deadline for week 1! Although I see it appears one other did also, I’m going to use this as a personal battle with that guy, haha. Can anybody remember a tv quiz show that was on in the mornings called Going For Gold? Malcy, you’re playing catch up.

Me & Majic have selected 4 of the top 5 most selected teams.
Our teams listed in bold

The Fan Pub selections week 3

Houston Texans - scr
Arizona Cardinals -4
Miami Dolphins -10
Pittsburgh Steelers -3.5
Dallas Cowboys -7

1 & 4 for Anders. Not actually a terrible result. The league average will be less than 2.5 again (a New Orleans cover will bring that average down a little more). The Spreadex players haven;t managed to beat the spread in all three weeks so anything approaching 7 or 8 points to date is good.

Over to Gordon for wk4 (a 5&0 or 0&5 wouldn’t surprise me)

Damn, 4 out of 4, I wish this had been my week to do the official predictions for the group :dart:

Really like Dallas and Seatlle on those. Think I’d throw Denver and Oakland in too, plus the Vikings just to make up the numbers

Jon, interested in your view on KC, I think +4.5 is about right but I would imagine the Steelers will be a popular pick
