I just can't seem to put a winning streak together as
I broke down and lost more games this week than any
other week this season. It's going to be a tough
hole to climb out of, but what can I do? Gotta keep
climbing till I get to the top! At least I won the majority
of my Top 5 bets…
TOP
5 Bets
1.
Jacksonville over Houston Loss
2. Chicago over New York Giants WIN
3. Philadelphia over Washington WIN
4. Jets over Patriots WIN
5. Tampa Bay over Carolina Loss
Baltimore (-7) at Tennessee: LOSS! The Ravens didn't
come out swinging like the Titans, and if it wasn't
for a late game missed field goal, the Titans would
have broken the mighty Ravens, but isn't that they way
it goes. Ravens didn't cover, but they won. Count how
many times that happened this weekend.
Buffalo
at Indianapolis (-11.5): LOSS! Colts win, don't
cover, looked terrible in the process, and gave up 1billion
rushing yards to the A Train. That's right, the A Train.
Chicago
(+3) at N.Y. Giants: WIN! Chicago got me one of
my few victories, as they dominated the 2nd half in
their win over New York.
Cleveland
at Atlanta (-7): LOSS! "The Falcons sure struggled
last week against the Lions." And much to my betting
dismay, those freaking scraggly birds did me in again.
I can't believe the fall from grace Mr. Vick has taken.
Kind of like mine. Ugh, with Vick goes Lucky…
Green
Bay at Minnesota (-5): LOSS! Oh Vikings, take a
hint from the Redskins, bench father time and go with
a young gun, your season is caput.
Houston
at Jacksonville (-10.5): LOSS! The Jaguars didn't
cover, that's for sure. They lost to a bad Texan team
in Jacksonville. What's that I heard about Byron Leftwich
being worse than David Garrard? Byron wins that game.
Kansas
City (E) at Miami: LOSS! I hope Miami's on a run
very similar to last season, as this week I'm riding
the train they may or may not be on.
New
Orleans +4 at Pittsburgh: LOSS! New Orleans looked
awfully good early, but I pick an entire game, not a
half. And that tends to hurt me, never more than this
week… Ugh umm…. Bengals/Chargers!
N.Y.
Jets (+12) at New England: WIN! Not only did the
Jets prove that they can compete with the Patriots,
they beat those darn Pats and fled Foxboro in a close
second place within the division.
San
Diego at Cincinnati (+1.5): LOSS! What can Cincinnati
do to win a ball game? Chad Johnson flat out dominated
the game, yet the Bengals couldn't hold on late, as
LaDainian Tomlinson found his running mate, Phillip
Rivers, and together they solved all the crime in Cinci,
oh, and beat the Bengals like a bunch of rotten thieves.
San
Francisco at Detroit (-5.5): LOSS! Detroit, Detroit,
Detroit…. What can I do with you donkeys? Talk
about a team that changes their complete identity as
soon as I put money on them. I'm not taking them next
week… (wink, wink - maybe they'll read this and
win - cackle)
Washington
at Philadelphia (-6.5): WIN! The Redskins suck,
and the Eagles are very good. It's nice when that works
out to an easy win, why couldn't the Jaguars, Chiefs,
Colts, Ravens and Broncos follow through like that?
Bugger me!
Denver
-9 at Oakland: LOSS! "I hate picking Denver
with any more than 3 points to cover," And since
I already said that, I will never do it again, for eternity.
Or until Jake Plummer pulls a Drew Bledsoe and watches
young Culter run the team.
Dallas
at Arizona (+7): LOSS! What was I thinking here?
Maybe I thought Dallas would come out thinking they'd
easily beat the struggling Cards… Well, they didn't
think it, they just did it.
St.
Louis (+3.5) at Seattle: WIN! The Hawks pulled out
another game winning field goal, and the Rams covered.
I have to be honest, this was the best of both worlds
for me.
Tampa
Bay (+11) at Carolina: The Panthers fought their
kryptonite, and pulled out over the spread, but don't
bet on them to do that two weeks in a row… Next
week is St. Louis, and another big spread is no good
for the Panthers.
