Us against the market
We named a different winner from the betting market in 3 games and got 1 of 3 right. Those are the calls worth judging us on — agreeing with the odds every week would make the exercise pointless.
- CHI @ ATL — we had ATL by 2.3, the market had the other side. CHI won by 8. Theirs.
- NO @ NYG — we had NYG by 3.4, the market had the other side. NO won by 7. Theirs.
- DAL @ GB — we had GB by 2.5, the market had the other side. GB won by 10. Ours.
