Mike’s Real Estate Show

Looking at those 2-3 Teams:
As we get enter the second quarter of the NFL season looking at the teams that are 2-3 in a nutshell shows how crazy of season this has started out to be.  Not only the teams that are 2-3, but teams that could be or are over 2-3 makes one takes notice that either this is going to be wild and wacky season…or its the start of a long season and things will get back to normal soon.
 
For example:
The 2-3 teams include the Niners.  Lets go back to their Week 1 game vs. Arizona and part of my prediction:
PICK:  NINERS IN A COMPLETE HEART TALKING PICK AND THEY BETTER WIN IT OR A 0-8 START IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION
Well the Niners lost that game….and the 0-8 start IS out of the question, although hearing Niner fans whine you would think they expected a 5-0 start.   The point is though, that the NFL has had a strange look to it so far.
 
The Rest Of the 2-3 teams:
Here they are….San Diego, Jacksonville, New Orleans, Green Bay, Minnesota and Philadelphia.  All those teams, except Philadelphia, were considered favorites in their divisions..or co favorites. 
 
That’s not all….because of bye weeks some teams have played four games and the following teams could be 2-3:
Indianapolis, Baltimore, Cleveland, NY Jets, Miami, Oakland and Seattle.
Again three of those teams were mentioned in a lot of places as conference favorites…and Cleveland and Seattle need to win their next game to get to 2-3…and Miami needs to lose.  Yes the same Miami team that was 1-15 last season.
 
Add to it teams that are over 2-3 include Atlanta who needs one more win to equal last seasons win total.
 
Makes for a fun and confusing season.
 
The fun and confusing doesn’t help my picks:
 
LAST WEEK:   7- 7 (second worst week of the season)
SEASON:      40-34  54.1 %
 
WEEK 6
 
BYES:  BUFFALO, TENNESSEE, KANSAS CITY AND PITTSBURGH…
