It’s week 3! We made it! (I think) There were some reports that Carolina Hurricanes owner, Tom Dundron of the NHL, had to give the AAF $250M to make payroll…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But we’re past that, right?! Let’s look at Week 3 of the AAF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Bets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week<\/a>, I went 5-3 on Best Bets! Not bad for a beginner, right?! Let’s look at this week’s slate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arizona Hotshots (-3) @ Salt Lake Stallions O\/U 43.5
Memphis Express @ Orlando Apollos (-10) O\/U 45
Birmingham Iron (-3) @ Atlanta Legends O\/U 40
San Antonio Commanders (-1) @ San Diego Fleet O\/U 41<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arizona nearly lost to Memphis and I think this week they do fall on the road. I’m going Salt Lake STRAIGHT UP, but I’ll take some points. Salt Lake +3 and the Over<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “worst” team at the “best” team – should be a good one…but it’s MEMPHIS! Double digit underdogs again…but this time maybe rightfully. Bet with your head, not your heart (as Kyle would say). I’ll go Orlando -10 and the Over.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look, I thought Birmingham was decent, but they’re not good, either! This is going to be an awful game. One thing is for sure, I’m taking the UNDER<\/strong>! And I’m actually giving Atlanta their first win. Atlanta +3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Antonio @ San Diego in the weeks biggest toss up. I think I’m going San Diego only because they’re at home to win and I’m going to go low – Under here. San Diego +1 and Under<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Career AAF record 5-3.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memphis Express<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adam says if Memphis goes 0-10, I can pick a new team next year. I might have a shot! Look, they played MUCH better last week – led most of the game, and it required a big second half for the Arizona Hotshots to take down Memphis. However, Memphis fans still aren’t excited or happy. I’m glad this one is on the road – it will take a good performance for fans to be happy if this team goes to 0-3. The attendance in their home opener was low (11,980) and that won’t get better with another loss. Memphis is really struggling right now and I can’t help but blame Mike Singletary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bright note – Zac Stacy leads the league in rushing yards with 159; however, Memphis will need to learn to pass and protect QB Christian Hackenberg if they want to ever win a game. Hackenberg is 7th in the league in passing (and two teams have fielded 2 QBs. That’s right, Hackenburg, in 2 games, is actually behind Philip Nelson, who has only played one game. 189 yards in two games is not a good look. He doesn’t have a passing TD. His 50% completion percentage is not sexy. I’ve been calling for Zach Mettenberger; however, he is 0-10 in the NFL. With Hackenberg, though, the Express may be 0-10 in the AAF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not going to give up on the Express, yet! They have a huge game this weekend and they have a chance to show the world they can actually play. Orlando won’t be easy to take down, but it will be a chance to prove themselves. DID YOU KNOW – no team has never not won the AAF Championship after starting 2-0?! Think about that, Memphis….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
