The NFL season is more than halfway complete, and it’s been a pretty bizarre one (though I feel like every season is bizarre in its own ways). While our strongest plays have performed admirably, our performance is still lagging overall, but in a short season with only a handful of picks per week, variance is going to play a significant role. Last week we had no Big Plays and only two Other Plays. Blaine Gabbert was surprisingly competent and Atlanta (+7) never came close to covering. Carolina (+2.5) built a big lead and held on at the end to win outright. Our MP Leans went 1-2, with Pittsburgh (-4) winning by three in a back and forth game, Indianapolis (+5) getting the upset, and San Diego (-4) blowing a late lead. On to Week 10…
