Between the overlap and smaller slate, we actually have a smaller list of games to target. But, within those games, we have great upside for offense, as well as one team that might be completely shut down by an opposing defense.
A Note from Mario: Last week was decent, but not great with a record of 2-2. As always, I’ll list my personal favorite picks, but please do your research, and play responsibly.
