Horror show. Disgusting. Foul. Nasty. Vile.
Use any word or words in that manner and you are spot on when describing my picks last week.
I did go 8-5 straight up, which is OK. But I was 3-9-1 against the spread, and at one point Sunday, I was staring a Ryan Wilson in the face. What’s a Ryan Wilson? Going 0-fer with your spread picks.
I did rally to win three games, but it wasn’t pretty. That drops my season ATS record to 91-94-8, which means under .500 again. The straight-up record is 116-77.
It’s time to get back over .500 with the ATS picks, which means a big week for me. I am due after last week’s disaster.

The Patriots can’t score, which is not a good thing against a Steelers defense that will be angry coming off a disappointing loss to the Cardinals. The Steelers will have Mitch Trubisky at quarterback, and he’s better than Bailey Zappe and gang or whoever Bill Belichick plays at quarterback. Look for the Steelers to win it.
Pick: Steelers 23, Patriots 6
The Steelers-Patriots betting total is set at 30 points, which is one of the lowest in NFL history. I have this game BARELY going under, but what does the SportsLine Projection Model think? Take a look, here.

Pick: Bucs 20, Falcons 17

This is a long trip for the Rams against a team coming off a bye. The Rams are one of the surprise teams so far, but this is a real challenge for their defense. Lamar Jackson and the offense will get the best of that unit, while the Ravens defense plays well against Matthew Stafford.
Pick: Ravens 28, Rams 16
