Currently 44 35

Another TNF stinker, it's been awful

Fields throws 2 game winning TD passes in the final 4 plays. Both hit the receivers in the hands and both times they dropped it. Unreal.

The line is going to get him killed, too. Lost count how many times he got hit because there's multiple rushers in the backfield within 1.5 seconds. Just awful all round.

The drive beforehand he hits Pettis in the numbers and he drops it. Smith-Marsette got hit in the visor on the next play for another drop. Someone help the kid out.

The reason for all the blitzes is because he's holding onto the ball too long too often. He's gotta throw it away sometimes when he can't find an open receiver.

I don't know where I can find stats about who holds the ball longest before throwing in the NFL but I'd be surprised if anybody holds it longer than Fields.

This is something new too, it wasn't like that last year. Fields took too many chances last year and it looks like he's gone from being too aggressive to being ultra conservative. I don't know if that's a confidence thing, or receivers not getting open or if its the coaching staff but somethings gotta change as regards how long he holds the ball on passing plays.

Going to change one of my picks given the injuries to the Cardinals running backs. I'll go with Seahawks instead. Hope there are no objections. My picks then are:

48 - 32 overall

What are you actually expecting, wafer-thin favourites to be up by 20 ?

You got given some decent advice (Eagle Eye I think) a few weeks ago about which games to avoid etc, not sure if you even acknowledged it and definitely don't seem to have taken it on board.

My advice (and it's very boring advice) would be to stop chasing the unlikely dream of getting 16/16 on the win market, and put a bit of time and effort into properly studying 2 or 3 games and looking at all the different markets on those games. Much more likely to find an edge that way.
