Last week was the week of the underdog, with the favorites failing to cover in 11 of 16 NFL contests. Seven of those underdogs won straight up which led to a disappointing week here with my Office Pool Picks. Let’s wipe the slate clean and hit in Week 3!

SURVIVOR PICK
Each week I’ll offer up my “playing it safe” and my “out on the limb” pick for your elimination pool:
Playing it safe – Vikings
The Vikings appear to be a free square this week at home against a hapless Bills’ team. Unless you have multiple teams in pool or already used them it would be hard to not go in that direction this weekend.
Out on a limb – Texans
The Texans are 0-2, but so too are the visiting Giants. New York’s offensive line is in trouble on Sunday and without the Giants having star linebacker Olivier Vernon look for DeShaun Watson to turn in his best effort of 2018.
Season Record: Playing it safe (2-0); Out on Limb (0-2).

Over 42 NYG/HOU
Seahawks -1.5
Season Record: Pick of Week (1-1); Overall (4-6).
