Panic comes in many forms, but whether mild or major, it has the same effect. Judgment is clouded and reaction often comes from a place of desperation, rather than being carefully thought out.
Panic is why the kids in the horror movie run into the woods instead of driving away in the car. It’s why you’re still going through all that toilet paper you hoarded in April 2020. And it’s why some NFL point spreads are completely turned around from their look-ahead lines of the summer.
Panic is a real MF’er.
Two weeks of NFL betting results — especially unexpected results — can do that. But now is not the time to panic. Even with my weekly NFL Underdogs picks and predictions starting 1-5 ATS out of the gate, I’m breathing deeply and trying to keep calm like Bruce Banner waiting in line at the DMV.
We approach NFL Week 3 underdogs the same way we would approach a dog that just stole something out of the garbage: calm and collective but careful, knowing that that dog would happily bite your fingers off to protect a half-eaten pork chop.
Nice doggy. Gooooood doggy…
