Looking at last week's games, there really wasn't much to get excited about. The matchups didn't really get me that excited. Atlanta-New Orleans, KC-Oakland, NE-Miami, Tampa-Detroit....those to me were the worst ones. However, looking back it was actually a pretty good week of football. Houston made an improbable comeback only to blow it in the last minute of the game, Arizona made it very exciting down the stretch, Chicago-Philly turned out to be one of the better games of the year (although both offenses officially suck). And to cap it all off on Sunday Night, Denver came through in the clutch to knock off the Steelers. Great week of football...even though Jacksonville-Indy didn't live up to it's billing.
My competition, TPC, again got caught up in playing the favorites. 6-8 on the week, but absolutely nailed his STL-Seattle pick:
Seattle wins 42-6.
OK, so Seattle only scored 33....but c'mon that was pretty damned close.
My picks started off well, but I couldn't close out the week with a W in Sunday or Monday Night Football. 8-6 on the week. Real money wagering I went 4-1. Pats -16.5 (W), Seattle -8.5 (W), Cincy -6 (W), Baltimore/Buffalo U35 (W), Tennessee/Houston U38.5 (By far, L). I have one rule that I've been following pretty much all season. NO MATTER WHAT, bet the Pats and bet against the Rams. Together, you'd be 13-1 to this point if this was the only bet you made. I'm 14-8 in real money wagers for the year so as you can tell, it took me about 3 or 4 weeks to employ this strategery. I'm overdue for a bad week, but for those that want to ride the wave...
this week's live action includes:
Cleveland -3 St. Louis
Oakland +7.5 Tennessee
Cincy +3.5 Pittsburgh
New England -16.5 Washington (This might be where my strategery fails)
Denver -3 Green Bay (MNF)
.....and I'm still eyeballing some of the over/unders (waiting for a more accurate weather forecast----insert joke here)
STANDINGS
West Coast: 54-41-8
