little self-indulged experiment, my apologies ahead of time... anyhoo, i'll try to give 3-4 picks (20 total units) a week and stay above 52.5%... and yes i'll submit them before kickoff, and document results... pass or fail...
1-3 last week! HORRIBLE... need to change things up a bit, thus i'm waiting til closer to kickoff to submit picks. A lot of work to do...
Season total: 11-14; -9 units
Week 7
1. Tennessee (+5.5) at Arizona: The McNair injury made this number soar, but Volek is more than capable. (8u). LOSS
2. Minnesota (+1.5) hosting G.B. Vikings get it together (7u). WIN
3. Pittsburgh (+1.5) at Cincy. Bengals' run defense still suspect. (5u). WIN
Week: 2-1, +4 units.
Week 6
Not much time to write tonight, so I'll make this quick.
1. St. Louis (+14) at Indy. Colts 45, Rams 28. Things were going fine until Bulger got hurt. (6u). LOSS
2. Jags (+3) at Pittsburgh. Jags 23, Pitt 17 OT. (6u). WIN
3. Washington (+5.5) at Kansas City. Chiefs 28, Skins 21. Redskins dominated the yardage, but you don't bet on yardage. (5u) LOSS
4. Jets (+3.5) at Buffalo. Bills 27, Jets 17. (4u). LOSS
Week: 1-3, -9 units.
Week 5 review:
1. Dallas (+3) vs. Philly. Tough to do well on the road twice in a row in this league. The KC comeback really drained Philly. Cowboys 33, Cowboys 10. (6u). WIN
2. St. Louis/Seattle under (49.5) A track meet from the opening kickoff. Surprising, with three starting wideouts hurt, but ah well. (6u) LOSS
3. Carolina -2.5 at Arizona. A win, but it might be time to take Carolina down a half grade in my power rankings. No sacks yet for Peppers? Ouch. (5u). WIN
4. Chicago +3 at Cleveland. Bears collapse at the end, started by Benson fumble. There's talent here, and they're blowing it. Just awful. (3u). LOSS
Week: 2-2, +1u.
Week 4:
1. San Fran/Ariz. over (43.5). McCown showing the poise many expected of him LAST season. (6u). Cards 31, 49ers 14. WIN
2. Cowboys (+3.5) at Oakland. Cowboys really blew a lot of chances in that fourth quarter. (5u). Raiders 19, Cowboys 13. LOSS
3. Detroit/TB over (34): Was that a touchdown to Pollard?. (5u). Bucs 17, Lions 13. LOSS
4. Texans (+10) at Cincinnati. Gutsy performance, but Houston offense nearly cost this one. (4u). WIN
Week: 2-2. 0 units.
Week 3:
1. Cowboys -6 at San Francisco: Cowboys 34, 49ers 31. (7u). LOSS
Beginning to believe, based on the results, that the Dallas secondary is vasty overrated.
2. Giants +5.5 at San Diego: Chargers 45, Giants 23. (5u). LOSS
Stupid, stupid, stupid....
3. Jags +3 at Jets: (4u). WIN. Jags 26, Jets 20.
Jet fans: May day! May day! May day!
4. Patriots +3 at Pittsburgh: Patriots 23, Steelers 20. (4u). WIN
Angry World Champs getting a field goal against a team that hasn't been tested? Only multiple injuries in the Pats' secondary kept this from being a higher play.
Week: 2-2, -4u.
Week 2 review:
1. Jags +9 at Indy: (8u) Colts 10, Jags 3. WIN: Anyone agree Jacksonville got jobbed on that final pass play?
2. Giants/Saints over 43.5: (7u) Giants 27, Saints 10. LOSS: Lots of opportunities for the extra touchdown needed. Horn's pylon fumble hurt.
3. Arizona -1. (5u) Rams 17, Cards 12. LOSS: What is it about the Cardinals? They just never get it together.
Total: 1-2, -4u.
Week 1:
1. Ravens +3: (8u)... Colts 24, Ravens 7 LOSS
2. Giants (-2): (7u)... Giants 42, Cards 19 WIN
3. Packers/Lions over (46): (5u). Lions 17, Packers 3 LOSS
Total: 1-2, -6u..... tough week...
