Week 1 Total: +5.13

Grand Total: +5.13

On the surface, my tipping ATS looks pretty satisfying although my two 5-unit games both lost! Yeh, the Chargers and 49ers let me down. So that brought me down a bit.

In the end I tallied a profit of $5.13 for the week, betting ATS with each unit representing $5. So, it's a start i suppose. Hopefully next week brings a bit more joy.

Thoughts:

Nothing too glaring to take out of this week apart from the Texans. They looked great and I'm now respecting their hype a bit more. The Jets just couldn't move the ball while the Falcons offence also looked sleepy (at least they were on the road and will bounce back next week againts the Cards). How about those 49ers? What happened? Looks like the NFC West won't be a shoe-in for them after all. Overall, I underestimated the significance of home field advantage a bit and must take that into account.

I'll hit up next week's tips on Thursday (US Time). Feeling good about Week 2 already!
