We’ll start with the glass-half-full optimism: In a Week 1 full of upsets and other surprises, we navigated the roiling sea to an even 8-8 mark against the spread. That included four dogs-with-points on covers by the Seahawks, Bears, Falcons and Lions, the latter our Upset of the Week (“Aawwk!”). Now the glass-half-empty, because we must: We got rocked to the tune of a 6-9-1 start overall. No excuses. We move on, and upward, as we dig into out 32nd season of NFL picks in the Miami Herald!
