Week #3
1) L.A. Rams -3 (1474)
2) Seattle -4 (988)
3) Detroit +6 (937)
4) Pittsburgh +6.5 (934)
5) Baltimore +6.5 (794)
Their record for each of the first two weeks has been 3-2 (6-4 total) so far. As always no claims that this information should be used for handicapping purposes...it just shows what some guys chose each week who paid $1500 of their own money to enter this season long contest. Do your own handicapping as it is your money. 
Oh I agree but there is 4 of us. I haven’t lost yet and the winners from prior week get to pick the 5th. Well all 5 won so then got out voted on Seattle. I don’t like that one either...doable but agree. Bills and Seattle least favorite of them. I would of taken Pitt at 6.5 or Ravens at 6.5 which is what the lines are in contest. I think we will be ok, hoping for 4-1. But will see I guess. Rams I’m ok with as I don’t see them losing that game but could easily push. We were in Super contest last year but went to Circa this year.
Nothing profound other than that the public perception is that the Rams are an elite team and viewed as having the better players, coaches etc. (304 chose Cleveland) so the Rams are 5 to 1 favorites in this sampling. Far from scientific but IMO I am thinking that, that is the knee jerk response of the vast majority of followers of the sport.
The Rams did make it to the toilet bowl last year and the Browns didn't make it to the playoffs and in fact they dumped the guy that IMO engineered that turnaround as interim head coach. Freddie Kitchens from some sources (Cowherd and others) might be lacking the instinct of leadership for being a head coach. Also, the team (Titans) that blew the Browns out in their own house has since played poorly and is anything but an elite team.
That's exactly what happened. Check Cleveland's injury report. The sharps jumped in and snapped up the Rams -3. Rams -3 in the contest is a sharp pick.
