Pretty interesting week since last post. 3 for 4 against the spread on my playoff picks, cashed in on Baltimore trouncing the chiefs, and ended up breaking even when the Auburn Tigers inexplicably tried a qb sneak from the kneel down formation... Congrats to the couple of you that cashed in on the playoff parlay. I was almost accosted (as tho I'm a player or coach) by a co-worker who lost quite a bit after the saints loss to the seahawks. I think the amount was somewhere between "does he HAVE to go to a private school" and "remember that timeshare we were gonna buy?...".
Hopefully the league will employ the A list refs and announcers this weekend. After a replay challenge, one ref stated that a player got his 3rd foot down (which is impressive in any sport) and I almost turned off the game after an announcer stated "That's just a bunch of big...sloppy...bodies...banging into each other". Let's keep this thing G rated this weekend fellas.
Before a look at this weekend slate of games, I'll admit that I watched the premier of "The Game" on BET. I will only watch this show to see what happens and will have no rooting interest. If I start a statement with "I hope Melanie and Derwin...", please stab me in the neck with a rainbow colored candy cane before I complete that sentence. Please and thank you.
Baltimore (+3) at Pittsburgh (-3)
Typical coin flip game. Usually a 3 point game with one 9 point win thrown in over the past 5 meetings. I'll take the steelers to win and only would bet a Baltimore tease to (+9 or 10)...if legal of course
Green Bay (+3) at Atlanta (-3)
Still trying to get the seahawk taste out of my mouth. This is "supposed" to be N.O. vs. Atlanta part 3...alas, it is not. I'll take Green Bay to win and the +3, possibly moving it to +9 or 10 to be safe similar to the previous game.
Seattle Seahawks (+10) at Chicago Bears (-10)
Seattle beat the Bears earlier in the year in Chicago. Albeit this was before the temperatures dropped to freezing. I'll take Chicago to win but I like Seattle to cover the +10.
New York Jets (+9) at New England Patriots (-9)
I was talking myself into the Jets pulling off the upset. That was before NY's cornerback Antonio "what's my kids' name again" Cromartie let everyone know that he thinks Tom Brady is something that rhymes with Bass Pole. I'll take New England to win and wouldn't be surprised if Bellicek and crew try to hang half a hundred on the J-e-t-s jets jets jets. Pats win but move the line to -3 or -2.
*That's 3 teasers and 1 parlay, for you gamblers scoring at home. You know who you are.
