It was 'Poor Picks' instead of Pro Picks last week
Maybe all the displays of unity at NFL games last weekend also overshadowed an awful week for Pro Picks. We sure hope so: It was more like Poor Picks.
And that came with a rare win in a Thursday night game, Rams over 49ers. Hopefully, we can get it right with this week's opener, Bears at Packers, then follow it up with some more winners.
Green Bay struggled to beat lowly Cincinnati in overtime last Sunday, hours after Chicago stunned Pittsburgh, also in OT. Working extra time heading into a short week isn't exactly an ideal way to prep for a Thursday nighter.
The Packers were undermanned, particularly on the offensive line, against the Bengals and had to stage a big rally to win.
