Week 1 of the NFL season reminded me why football is equal parts joy and emotional terrorism. We saw “dads” (the players who carry themselves like they’re grilling burgers at halftime and still scoring touchdowns), and we saw “duds” (looking at you, Giants—did you even know the season started?).
That’s why I brought on my guy Colby Marchio for our brand-new Weekend Dads & Duds segment. We roasted the Dolphins, gave Daniel Jones a backhanded compliment, and debated whether certain teams are secretly frauds after just one week (spoiler: probably yes). Colby and I also peeked at early Week 2 lines, which is basically like window shopping for bets I’ll regret later.
Then Producer Ryan joined me for Extra Holes—our segment where optimism goes to die. We rehashed our tragic Circa contest slip from Week 1, admitted our guts knew better, and promised ourselves we’ll bet with vibes next time. We also argued about early Week 2 ATS plays like the Cowboys, Broncos, and Patriots, because nothing says “healthy friendship” like yelling about Dak Prescott on a Monday.
If you’re here for hard stats, this isn’t the place. If you’re here for laughs, chaos, and the occasional sharp angle that might accidentally win you money, you’re home. Week 1 gave us plenty of dads, way too many duds, and just enough betting PTSD to keep us humble heading into Week 2.
