Every week the Minneapolis Star Tribune has been picking an Upset Special for the week. I should have been posting this for you guys this season, but last year they kinda sucked at this. This season they are 6-1 ATS and SU, and they've often been picking games that were 6 point dogs with +200 or more MLs.
Last week's pick:
Miami 20
St. Louis 17
Result
Miami 31
St. Louis 14
This week's pick says:
Only an idiot would pick a rookie QB (Ben Roethlisberger) over the NFL's reigning genius (Bill Belichick). But we'll take Pittsburgh and the three points at home, then cross our fingers.
Pitsburgh 24
New England 21
Not a huge vote of confidence on the pick, but I'm going with the hot hand. It's a weak week for dogs I think, but NE has to lose at some point.
