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...
2-1 last week! Titans failed me miserably, however. ...
Season total: 11-14; -9 units
WEEK 8
1. Jags (-3.5) at St. Louis: I know its a betting sin to lay the dreaded 3.5 on the road, but this Rams defense can't stop anybody. Now Leonard Little is likely out? Jags come off bye week and take care of business. (8u).
2. Miami/New Orleans over (41): Four fairly bad CBs, lots of assorted injuries on both defenses. Predicting a decent offensive performance from Miami, at least. (7u)
3. Chi/Det over (32): Detroit interior d-line is hurting. I like Garcia's spark to the Detroit offense. Low number. (5u).
Week 7
1. Tennessee (+5.5) at Arizona: Titans pass with their 3rd-string QB on 4th-and-1 at the Cards' 12 and 2 minutes left...Incomplete. (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...
