Overall (Straight up: 69-15; Vs. Spread: 43-40-1; Moneyline Upsets: 1-6)

Week 2 Review: I have to admit to feeling pretty good about my performance last week. That’s about as good as I ever am against the spread. Moneyline upsets could use a little work though.

Week 3 Preview: As far as the number of interesting games, this week sucks compared with the first couple of weeks of the year. I’m feeling confident after last week. I’m not too confident with upsets, however, and I don’t see many this week. So there should be quite a few actually. No time for comments this week.
