The letter · Tue Sep 15

Week 1 closed 12–4. Week 2 is live.

Week 1 is graded. PinksDesk finished 12–4 straight up. The Monday night write landed on the nose: we wrote 41, Kansas City 31 and Denver 10 made 41. Exact.

The misses stay posted. Melbourne we said Rams; San Francisco won 27–7. Titans, Chargers, and Cowboys also missed. Against the spread the tape is uglier than the moneyline — that is why Last week shows both.

Week 2 opens Thursday at Highmark: Buffalo −3 / 53.5. The ladder is San Francisco, Baltimore, Tampa Bay, then Philadelphia, Buffalo, Chicago. Chargers are hedge-only after the Arizona wreck. Murray is OUT for Minnesota at Chicago.
