It’s only Week 3, and if you’re trying to navigate the NFL betting landscape, PFT’s Mike Florio just dropped a serious caution. He’s upfront: last week was rough, like, *really* rough. Florio admitted he went a “pathetic” 9-7, pushing his season record to a still-shaky 19-13. That’s not exactly the start you want when you’re laying down cash.
The Early Season Gauntlet Is Real
Look, picking games early in the NFL season is brutal, and Florio isn’t immune. He called the Texans over Bengals his “worst pick” from last week. We’ve all been there, making a call we swear by only for it to blow up in our faces. Then there was that “flew-too-close-to-the-sun-on-wings-of-pastrami pick” with the Giants over the Rams. Sometimes you just gotta swing for the fences, but sometimes those swings miss hard.
What’s Brewing for Week 3
Despite the bumps, the games keep coming. The Green Bay Packers are gearing up for their home opener on Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons. This is a big one for the Pack, a chance to set the tone at home. For the Falcons, it’s a whole different story. They’re already trotting out their *third* quarterback in three games, hoping he’s finally ready after his recent ACL tear. You gotta wonder what kind of MASH unit mentality they’re rolling with already.
Florio himself is shooting for a perfect 16-0 this week, but he’s also honest about the fear of going 0-16. His advice? If you’re putting money down, treat it as entertainment. Because right now, in the early stages of Week 3, knowing what will happen is “virtually impossible.” It’s a wild league, folks, and Week 3 is proving it already.
