The Basement View

26-19-2 through three weeks. That's seven games over .500 and we're coming off an 11-5 week. Inching closer to a perfect week. So, lets lock in the picks  for week four!

Another week in the books and the closer I am to a perfect week. Here are week three's picks .

6-8-1. That’s the record heading into week 2 or “overreaction week.” I will not overreact this year and/or judge anything happening on the field until week five.

With my picks taking a backseat last year, the over/under column that I did last year took the keys and drove everyone’s money to the back. Let’s keep the tradition going for the NFL’s 100 th season. Spoiler alert this season is will be telling for the next decade. Detroit Lions O (-140)/U (+125) 6.5 wins: UNDER +125 “New England Central…” Yeah right. Detroit’s year will continue to be far off in the distance. Matthew Stafford is the only thing the Lions have going for them and he might not be 100% to start the season. On top of dealing with his wife’s brain tumor (which is where everyone’s attention should turn, hopefully she gets well soon). This season for Stafford and the Lions will be ...
