Due to a very undeserved vacation in Orlando last week (thanks to my incredibly generous wife), I wasn't able to make picks for week 8. In week 7, I successfully covered the spread with the Titans and the New York Football Giants (thanks to a safety!). The freakin' Jets lost outright to the Raiders. The Bucs and Texans both won, but didn't cover (the Bucs won by 10 but the line was 10.5 (dammit!), and the Texans won by 7 but the line was 9.5).
So once again, a 2-3 record for the week. This is getting ridiculous.
My overall record is a lousy 16-19. If you look at my cash distribution last week, though, I broke even. I put $30 on the Titans and $20 on the Giants, with $50 on the other three games combined. Halfway through the season, I'm $35 down.
Like I say, it's a good thing I don't *actually* gamble money on the games, because I clearly have no idea what I'm doing.
Not that that's going to stop me from this week's predictions, using the odds as listed on Yahoo as of 12:01 p.m. on Sunday, an hour before the game begin. There are some great games on the schedule this week!
1. Tampa Bay (-9.5) vs. Kansas City (at Kansas City) for $20:
Larry Johnson is suspended again, and Tampa continues to impress (and surprise) me.
2. Buffalo (-5) vs. New York Jets (at Buffalo) for $20:
Because they're in Buffalo.
3. Detroit vs. Chicago (-12.5) (at Chicago) for $20:
On one hand, Detroit has played competitive football the last few weeks with nothing to show for it. On the other hand, Chicago is at home. My gut tells me that Chicago wins the game, but I think the spread is too big, so I'mthrowing my money away on picking the Lions to cover this week.
4. Atlanta (-3) vs. Oakland (at Oakland) for $20:
Picking against the Raiders every week has to pay off more often than not, right?
5. Philadelphia (-6.5) vs. Seattle (at Seattle) for $20:
Like a dumbass, I've once again chosen four road teams. 2-3, here I come!
