Week 1 didn't go well, but luckily I have 7 more games
to rebuild my playoff championship run… Here's
how Tony Romo's field goal hold rolled…
Saturday:
Kansas
City Chiefs @ Indianapolis Colts (-7): Starting
off the week I blew up the spot with an easy victory
here. Herman Edwards was too loyal to one player while
being unloyal to his team. He left Trent Green on the
stake to burn, as a quarterback who had played much
better during the year, Damon Huard, was left to listen
on his headset from the sidelines. If there was ever
a time to toss in Damon, it was Saturday. The Colts
D came to play, showing how Valuable Bob Sanders is
to that club. It started out nice for Ol' Lucky and
then it all went awry.
Dallas
Cowboys @ Seattle Seahawks (-2.5): The Hawks should
have lost, but they didn't. They never were going to
cover, regardless of what happened. I lost this one.
The Hawks receivers were never open, Matt was always
under pressure, and Shaun couldn't run on the Boys.
However, the luck was with Seattle and the Hawks pulled
out with a big home win over TO and his crew of angry
men. However, my least favorite teams in sports just
happen to be Dallas and Duke. D&D. I started out
the day by watching Duke lose their ACC opener, then
showed up at the Hawk game only to watch Dallas blow
an easy win…. Hahahahahaahaha!
Sunday:
New
York Jets (+9.5) at New England Patriots: This game
was way closer than the final outcome, but some late
turnovers and big mistakes ended any chance I had at
covering. This game was fun to watch in the beginning
as both coaches had a game-plan to stick it to each
other. Hilarious. But the Pats were too good, and Mangini
still has work to do to get his Jets to Patriot level.
New
York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles (-7): The Giants
had a chance, but as they did too often all year long,
they failed to take advantage of numerous chances early,
which killed them in the end. David Akers hit a field
goal to win it, and Tiki Barber's last game ended in
a Lucky Lester loss, bringing me to 1-3 on Wild Card
weekend. Tough one.
