Broke the losing streak with a .500 mark. Two half-point losses and the Steelers’ defense falling apart on the last drive. Wah-wah. My picks are at 26-34-1 overall this season. Overdue for a good week!

It was ugly again last week for my picks, giving me two straight losing efforts – something that didn’t happen once in the 2023 season. After a 5-10-1 week, my picks are at 19-27-2 overall. Let the climb back to respectability start tonight!

My goal last year was to pick every game and finish above .500 against the spread. Came close – missed some Thursday games – and last year’s final record was 137-123-10. I was pretty happy with that, especially considering a 5-11 mark in Week 1. So, here’s hoping for a better start this time.
