Well, I forgot to write something, and the Sox/Rays game is still on, so here's a quick entry with some picks. Last week I went 2-3 again, but should have gone 1-4 (thanks for blowing it, Texans!). So I started with $105, lost $60 with my three incorrect picks, and got $80 back thanks to the Bears and Colts, which means I have to use another imaginary $15 to make it an even $100 in betting for the week.
Therefore, going into the start of week six, I've "invested" $115 and don't have any winnings yet. Once again, this is why I don't actually bet real money.
Yahoo! sports has thrown a wrench in my system, too, and it's odds page (as of 10:30 p.m. on Saturday night) now lists five different sources. Given that I don't know one from another, I'll go with the first column, from SportsBetting.com. Because why not.
1. Houston (-3) vs. Miami (at Houston) for $20:
Miami beat New England, then beat San Diego. Doesn't make sense. Houston lost a heartbreaker to what one would think is a much better team than the Dolphins (Indy) last week. I think Miami can win outright.
2. Dallas (-4.5) vs. Arizona (at Arizona) for $20:
I know Arizona destroyed the Bills last week, but my gut says the Cowboys take this by at least 5.
3. New York Giants (-7.5) vs. Cleveland (at Cleveland) for $20:
I didn't think the Browns would be this bad, and I didn't think the Giants would be this good. What I think doesn't seem to matter with my picks, though, so the Browns will probably win by 30, just because I'm picking the Giants to cover.
4. Chicago (-2.5) vs. Atlanta (at Atlanta) for $20:
The Bears are the only team treating me well so far this season, so I'll stick with them.
5. Oakland vs. New Orleans (-7) (at New Orleans) for $20:
Because I have to pick more home teams.
Dammit all, I should have written more stuff ... in the ten minutes it took me to get this entry ready, Josh Beckett imploded and the Sox are down. Again.
Fun for the whole family.
There's still a lot of baseball left tonight, though ...
