It’s gotten a little tighter. This week, it can only further tighten by one game.
For Week 3, Simms won the microcontest, going 12-4 straight up against my 10-6. For the season, I’m 36-12 and he’s 29-19. He went 3-1 in our four disagreements. (He would have swept me, 4-0, but for Jordan Davis.)
Against the spread, I was 8-8. He was 7-9. I’m 26-22 for the year. He’s 19-29.
We disagree on only one game for Week 4.
For all Week 4 picks, keep reading.
And if you bet, please do so responsibly. Plenty of people will crow about their wins. They clam up about their losses. Over time, the losses will for the vast majority of gamblers outpace the wins.
Both teams are playing better than expected. The Seahawks have looked, in all, just a little better than the Cardinals.
Florio’s pick: Seahawks 23, Cardinals 20.
Simms’s pick: Seahawks 24, Cardinals 20.
Vikings (-2.5) vs. Steelers at Dublin
The Pittsburgh formula for 2025 (so far) is simple — be outplayed generally, but not be outscored.
Florio’s pick: Steelers 24, Vikings 21.
Simms’s pick: Steelers 23, Vikings 20.
Dan Quinn would surely love to figuratively do the Falcons the thing that accidentally happened to him last week. (Also, why is the spread so small?)
Florio’s pick: Commanders 30, Falcons 17.
Simms’s pick: Commanders 24, Falcons 17.
