I'd Like to thank Winnie Cooper
A PERFECT SEASON?
Or
just a perfect week? The Colts might go 16-0, but the
real story is, I already did. I must say, when you go
16-0, looking back on your own article feels like one
hell of a pat yourself on the back fest. I give all
my credit to Winnie, who just happened to be that little
extra stroke of luck I needed to break out with the
best single week record of all time. Yes, I went undefeated
with a perfect 16-0 record in Week 13. Some would say
"genius," some would say "Lucky,"
hell you can say whatever you want, the bottom line
is Lucky Lester was the god of Week 13.
Atlanta
at Carolina (-3) - "If Stephen Davis was
still starting, I would take the Falcons, because there
is no way he can pound the Falcons outside the tackles.
In an intelligent move, the Panther brass has decided
to start Deshaun Foster for the second straight week.
Atlanta loses when teams can run the ball against them.
This game will be no different." (Me) Deshaun Foster
started and didn't disappoint. He ran for 131 yards
and caught 3 passes for 50 yards. He scored two touchdowns
leading the Panthers to my first of many. 1-0.
Buffalo
(+4) at Miami - I knew I had the game in hand, and
I was pretty sure the Buff were going to pull out a
much needed victory in Miami. One of two ain't bad.
The Bills gave up easy completions by Sage Rosenfels,
and Chris Chambers jumped up in the end zone, grabbed
a touchdown pass from Sage, and fell down with the victory.
One for me, one for the Dolphins. 2-0.
Cincinnati
(+3) at Pittsburgh - "This showdown in Pittsburgh
will be the weeks best game, but don't expect the home
team to come out on top. One more week for Ben Roethlisberger
to find his touch, then the Steelers will start winning
again." (Me) The Bengals came through in fine fashion,
taking down the Steelers in Pittsburgh 38-31 in one
of the weeks best games. Carson Palmer was stellar,
and the Bengal defense continued to find ways to get
takeaways, causing Big Ben to throw 3 interceptions.
3-0.
Dallas
at N.Y. Giants (-3) - "Drew Bledsoe is too
slow to get away from the Giant pass rush that stymied
one of the best offensive lines in football last week
in Seattle. I never thought I'd say this, but the Giants
defense will be too tough for the Cowboys to pull off
the upset." (Me) It hurts, oh it hurts, it hurst
so bad to be this good. Drew Bledsoe looked like a VW
Bug idling away from a Ferrari as the Giant defense
ran a clinic on Bill Parcells Cowgirls. 4-0.
Green
Bay at Chicago (-7) - "For the billionth
time this year, Brett Favre's interceptions will outnumber
his touchdown tosses. Thomas Jones will pound the Packers
defensive front into submission early." (Me) Thomas
Jones had 93 yards on the ground, and Brett Favre threw
2 interceptions an 0 touchdowns. My Uncle John chastised
me for telling the world Brett would double up his TD's
with picks. He's old, bitter, and old. Thanks for proving
my genius Brett. 5-0.
Houston
(+8) at Baltimore - The Texans lost, but really
won. Yes, it is possible to do, especially when you
have the worst record in football and Reggie Bush will
be showing up at the '06 draft. Houston has proven that
they can play good football, they just haven't come
out on the lucky end of Sunday. The Texans played well
within the 8 points they were getting, and managed to
lose again. A win win. One win for me, one win for their
draft. 6-0.
Jacksonville
(-3) at Cleveland - The Jaguars started off slow,
giving up two touchdown passes by Charlie Frye to Braylon
Edwards. Then, they tightened the clamps. After the
first two scores, the Jaguars never allowed the Browns
to get close to the end zone again. The Jag D held Droughns
to less than 3 yards a carry, and didn't allow a single
point in the second half. Garrard threw 2 TD's, and
the Jags ran the ball 36 times. Ah, it feels good. 7-0.
Minnesota
(-3) at Detroit - The Vikings dominated the hapless
Lions, even with Detroit's savior, Jeff Garcia, back
at the helm. Garcia completed less than half his passes,
throwing for 0 touchdowns and 1 interceptions. Nice.
The Lions went another week without a 100 yard rusher.
Nice. Minnesota discovered Koren Robinson to the drum
of 148 yards receiving. Pep liked the look of that from
the owner's box. The score was much closer than the
game, but this was as close as I got to defeat. Whew.
8-0.
Tampa
Bay (-4) at New Orleans - Okay, I admit, the Saints
played closer to the Bucs than I imagined. Cadillac
almost hit 100, but it was Chris Simms and Joey Galloway
hooking up for the games only touchdown. Aaron Brooks
sealed my 9th win with his 4th interception on the day,
this one going to Rhonde Barber who pulled down 3 on
Sunday. New Orleans is a bad football team. Never doubt
that.
9-0.
Tennessee
at Indianapolis (-16) - "The Colts won't
slip up against the Titans. There is no way Peyton,
Coach Dungy, and the Defense will overlook this match-up.
The Titans don't have a powerful offensive line. That
will be exploited on Sunday in Indianapolis." (Me)
The Colts sacked Steve McNair thrice (forcing a fumble),
and dropped Billy Volek once after they knocked McNair
out of the game. Exploited? Yes the Titan's offensive
line way. The Colts didn't overlook Tennessee as they
skipped to 12-0, still on pace to go undefeated. Speaking
of undefeated, this game took me to 10-0.
Arizona
(-3) at San Francisco - "The Cardinals have
really struggled, but they've found offensive fire power
with Kurt Warner throwing powder-puff balls to Larry
Fitz and Anquan Boldin." (Me) Warner had 354 yards
through the air as Larry Fitz and Anquan Boldin combined
for 19 catches, 285 yards, and a score. Can I call it
or can I call it? Alex Smith made the Cardinals defense
look decent, as he was picked 3 times, and sacked thrice
on the day. I stared off the afternoon with another
W. 11-0.
Washington
(-3) at St. Louis - "The Rams won't get lucky
for the second straight week... Not with LaVar Arrington
making sure luck gets it's ass pounded into the ground.
There is no way the Redskins give up all those rushing
yards two weeks in a row, is there? My bet is staying
away from the Rams. Clinton Portis will have his best
game of the year yardage-wise and Mark Brunell will
find Santana Moss for old-times sake." I'm telling
you it hurst, oh, it hurts to be this good. I don't
have a glass ball or anything, I'm just pure genius.
No gimmicks. Just genius. Got it? Clinton Portis missed
his best day of the year by 6 yards. Brunell found Moss
three times, while Chris Cooley got the touchdown. Oh,
and the Redskins defense gave up less than 50 yards
on the ground. I matched the Colts at 12-0.
Denver
at Kansas City (+1.5) - "The Chiefs have
more on the line at home against Denver, so they'll
play to win. Larry Johnson will rush for more yards
than Denver has given up to any other back all year.
And Mike Anderson and Tatum Bell will both fail to reach
the 100 yard plateau. Just trust me on this one, the
Chiefs need this game and Angry Larry will pull them
past the Broncos." First and foremost, the Chiefs
won, taking me to 13-0. Second, Larry Johnson rushed
for more yards against the Denver D, than any other
player this year. And last and possibly least, Tatum
Bell and Mike Anderson didn't even combine for 100 total
rushing yards. Genius. 13-0.
N.Y.
Jets at New England (-10) -This game sucked.
The Patriots won 16-3. It was 6-3 at the half. Nothing
happened in this game, so there's nothing to report.
I won again, that's always nice. 14-0.
Oakland
at San Diego (-11) - The Raiders couldn't hang
with the Chargers. Shit, they couldn't even compete
for longer than a half. Down ten going into the 3rd
quarter, the Raiders looked like they had already given
up. And they have. Just as I predicted, the Raiders
were one of the more pathetic teams on Sunday. LT had
a decent but not spectacular game, as the Chargers weren't
forced to exhert any effort after the first quarter
or two. It's good to get a good rest in from time to
time. 15-0.
Seattle
(-4) at Philadelphia - "The Hawks will win
easily." (Me) Going into Monday Night I was sure
I had my perfect week locked up. This was my easiest
pick of the week. Usually Mondays are tough for me,
but not this Monday. Shaun Alexander was shut down pretty
well, he only had two touchdowns, but the Seattle Defense
had 3 on way to shutting out the flightless Eagles.
Perfection is sweet, enjoy it if you can, it's always
nice when your 13 game parlay pays out 100,000$, isn't
it? For 10 bucks a week it seems worth it, eh?
AT
LAST! PERFECTION!
Good
Luck with your NFL Football Betting!
