If Week 1 is all about the "unknown" and Week 2 focuses on the "overreaction," the best word to sum up Week 3 is "desperation."
Seven teams are 0-2, and only seven others are 2-0, meaning a whopping 18 teams are 1-1, including the entire AFC North. Interestingly, there’s only one 2-0 vs. 2-0 matchup and one 0-2 vs. 0-2, so a lot of teams will be either 1-2 or 2-1.
Underdogs went 8-7-1 against the spread (ATS) last week after going 11-5 in Week 1.
