I went 8-8 in the second week of the 2026 NFL season.
I start out rough, ended rough, but was near-perfect in the middle.
It’s always bad when one of the worst teams in the league (Atlanta) is featured in one of the Primetime games. I guess we are lucky they aren’t playing against the lowly Dolphins.
Can the Saints keep up their improved play this week? Will Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) be fully-healed by Monday night?
We pick almost every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 3 of the 2026 NFL season.
