Week 3 Results

Added NFL and Fantasy Football news on the sidebar. You can switch between the two by clicking the links. Is it helpful or is it too 'busy'?

The early games were ugly. The late games picked up a bit to end the week at 7-9 (43.8%). Yes, that's pretty bad - but it's only one week. On the season, NFLSim is still 28-19 (59.6%), ATS. There aren't too many handicappers out there at 60% over 47 games ATS. Straight up and O/U picks also had mediocre results this week. SU picks were 9-7 (56.3%); not great but the distribution of accuracy over confidence made me happy. Again, O/U picks were bad at 8-8 (50%). Just disregard them for now. I've check with other handicappers and I've looked around a bit and it seems that many experts are having trouble with those picks.

Best Game of the Week: IND at ARI -2.5, IND straight up win.
Biggest Disappointment: WAS -6 at DET... Washington blew it or Vegas blew the line.
Worst Pick of the Week: WAS to win at 83%

Reactions to last week's game analyses:
Monday Night Matchup
NFLSim was almost dead on with Dallas' play selection. NFLSim said 50/50 pass/rush, the actual game went 35/32. Romo had a few big completions but no TD's. A big rush game was predicted and Dallas ran for over 200 yards. Carolina couldn't buy a first down - they went 1/8 (12%) on 3rd down. Coach Fox can't be happy about that.

Upset Special
Here's a fun stat: NFLSim predicted 34 carries for Miami for a total 150 yards and 1.7 TD's. Miami had 31 carries for a total 149 yards and 1 TD. They even dominated the play clock. That ground and pound went exactly as it was supposed to but when your QB's throw for 18/31 (58%) for 146 yards and 1 INT, there ain't much you can do. By the way, NFLSim predicted 163 yds and 1.1 INT. River had enough big plays and a ton of yards to give SD the game.
