Well I do think the number of upsets of top teams in the last couple weeks has been rather bizarre.

Seeing the Bucs drop two is especially nice.

Some major injuries affecting things.

Bucs WRs and TE banged up
Murray.
Ravens are really banged up.
Bills - I don’t know what happened there.
Raiders - Waller and Ruggs.
Cowboys- Dak coming off injury
Saints - QB

And look out for New England. QB is settling in.

I am not much of a gambler. I used to play the football parlay tickets with a group of friends. Its betting against the spread for small stakes. You wouldn't think there would be a pattern but there was. The picks were easier to get right in the first 6 weeks. Weeks 8-9 were full of upsets and we would all lose. After that it got much harder to win. There would be one week in there where we would have several winners on the same ticket. That usually happened at week 6 or 7.

I know that it wasn't picking winners and losers. However, after the midseason upsets, the spreads got tighter and more difficult to win. I always wondered why there were always multiple upsets in the middle weeks, more so than others.
