I search for this tweet every week. I would love to see someone with more time go back and do a Next Week ATS for teams where the number is below, say, 30 percent.

NFL: Who Let The Dogs Out

Favorites who lost:

Colts (-4) lost at home to Titans, 24-17.

Lions (-3.5) lost at home to Seattle, 48-45.

Steelers (-3) lost at home to New York Jets, 24-20.

Buccaneers (-2) lost at home to Kansas City, 41-31. (Bucs opened +2).

Browns (-1) lost at Atlanta, 23-20.

Panthers (-1) lost at home to Arizona, 26-16.

Six upsets, but nobody bigger than four points. And yet I still got knocked out of survivor. I deserve it for taking the Lions in a favorite role.
