Another winning week for the Featured Bets, finishing 7–6 with the Tyquan Thornton ladder counted as one play.
There were wins in a few different ways. Khalil Shakir stayed below 44.5 with 38 yards despite Buffalo scoring 41 points, Pat Freiermuth crawled over 29.5 with 32 yards in an otherwise miserable Pittsburgh offensive performance, and Christian McCaffrey landed right on four receptions to cash our Under 4.5. Cooper Rush’s longest completion never threatened 31.5 as Atlanta’s passing game completely collapsed in a 34–3 loss.
The losses had some useful lessons. James Cook got 21 carries as Buffalo played from ahead throughout, while Ashton Jeanty was given 21 attempts despite managing only 48 yards. Tony Pollard similarly reached 14 attempts in a competitive game that Tennessee actually led late. Kalif Raymond’s Under was beaten decisively with five catches for 40 yards. Those were cases where the volume simply beat our projection.
The highlight was Tyquan Thornton’s ladder. We played 40+, 50+ and 60+ receiving yards at increasingly long plus-money prices, and Thornton cleared the entire ladder. All three rungs cashing had the discord enjoying big wins together!
Yeesh. A flat-out miserable week 2. Easily the worst since we’ve been doing this – twice as bad as our worst week last year. With week this bad, it’s usually a combination of bad luck and bad process (just as outlier good weeks feature good luck). The bad luck is a combination of choosing the right angle but wrong bet (i.e. receptions instead of yards), and games going against expected game script, which was a theme of week 2. The bad process is our aggressiveness despite limited data in some respects > player X was deployed this way week 1, but should we expect that to continue or was it matchup driven? In general, we should be more agnostic in assessing the strength and weaknesses of teams after one data point.
Another winning week for our community! A lot of sharp takes on expanded roles for Dalton Kincaid, Bucky Irving, and Dalton Schultz. Help contribute to a 3rd winning week by getting your bet in before kick off!

Pop quiz time! Who led ALL Giants players in routes run in Week 2? Darnell Mooney. Who led ALL Giants players in routes run in Week 1? Darnell Mooney. Malik Nabers now has a shoulder injury that could affect his routes, along with still not being himself coming back from multiple knee surgeries. Jaxson Dart out means the offense is now under Jameis Winston’s control. That likely means more 11 personnel, more gunslinging opportunities and more pass attempts instead of scrambles. Mooney already has multiple catches in both games, now we’re getting this at plus money. Winston also historically locks in on players during games (Jerry Jeudy in CLE, Wan’Dale Robinson last season) and if that turns out to be Mooney (who is capable of hitting downfield plays) the upside is immense. This Titans team also isn’t anything to be scared of.

The Colts have one of the lowest PROE’s this season despite facing the Ravens and Chiefs, two high-powered offenses that they needed to keep passing against. They’d rather slow the game down, focus on Jonathan Taylor, and limit the extra work Daniel Jones has to do especially since his mobility is minimized coming back from injury. It’s unlikely that Houston shreds them to the point that Jones has to pass MORE than he did in Week 1 and 2 where he had 31 attempts each, including OT and garbage time. Colts also lost Alec Pierce so until Darius Slayton works into the fold, the passing offense has very limited upside and drives are more likely to stall against a good HOU secondary.

Hurst has 9 targets this season but 0 while leading, and 7 of them in the 4th quarter, all on an extreme aDOT. Jalen McMillan didn’t play in Week 1 and only ran 2 routes in Week 2, so Hurst’s role is likely to decrease a bit. Especially against a blitz-happy Flores defense, Mayfield’s ability to hit guys downfield is likely limited.
