Week 1 is in the book and we have our first 5-0 on the season by Jwill who wins $166 and is free rolling the rest of the season. Jwill also just happens to be the reigning, defending, Bad Man Champion from 2025-2026 Season.
The overall top consensus plays went 1-4 with the lone winner being the top play in Pittsburgh due to the line move after the release of the lines. It would've been a but interesting to see what the pick total on this game would've been without the QB injury listed after lines came out. I'll call this top selection win with an asterisk but it counts nonetheless to make the top play 1-0.
We had as mentioned the lone 5-0 but had four players that went 0-5.
The numbers from week 1 are brutal all around. Overall consensus went 6-7 with a combined overall record of 129-171 and that includes the 30 wins from Pittsburgh with only 2 losses. Take that lone game out and it's 99-169.
PHI was 2-23
DAL was 5-23
DEN was 3-17
Those three games alone cost contestants 63 losses and only 10 wins for a paltry 13.7% win rate.
That doesn't include TN was 4-12, add that in and it's 14 wins against 75 losses.
Favorites went 9-5 overall for week 1.
