NFL—After opening the season 7-9 and grinding back to .500 in Week 2, Rock’s Locks went 11-5 in Week 3 — the best record on the entire board and the only entry to finish alone in first place for the week. Three weeks in, the season record is now 27-21, and the climb happened fast.
I went from last place to fourth place in one week. More importantly, the gap to the top is down to just three wins. What looked like a hole after Week 1 is suddenly a race again, and there is a lot of football left to play.
Week 3 was exactly why I said I wanted a couple weeks of evidence before attacking these games. Tendencies are becoming real. Injuries are changing matchups. Offensive lines are showing where they can be attacked. Quarterbacks are revealing what happens when the first read disappears. Defenses are showing which weaknesses are temporary and which ones opponents can keep exploiting. That information helped produce an 11-win week, and now the goal is to stack another one.
Week 4 is not about celebrating Week 3. It is about hunting down the three wins separating Rock’s Locks from the top of the board. Sixteen more games. Every pick stays public. Every miss stays on the record. I was at the bottom two weeks ago. Now I’m fourth.
Three wins from first place. Time to go get them!
