Weak 8 ;-)

WoW! 0-4 last week. 11-8 is the new record. in what? 3 weeks time I have gone from 11-2 to 11-8? I love it. I h8 money! (Fat Pox, I hope you cashed in!)

Alrighty then. So I hated all the games a few weeks back, and picked some anyway, which was a mistake. Then there was so much pressure to gets wins that I f#@ked up subsequent weeks. I was sort of shooting from the hip. Anyhoo, so I will get back to business this week, and try to be realistic and get some score.

Additionally, I used self depricating humor in the first several weeks and did quite well, warning everyone to fade me and such. Then, I sort of got cocky, which is likely just human nature, and started not doing as well.

KC +14: wow. ok. 27.5 against vs 24.3 against avg, which is close. 12.5 for (worst in the league) vs 25.7 (not bad). 13.2 differential.. unless I am retarded. The jiznets are ok I suppose, and sure, the Chiefs sux, but come on, assess the digits and factor in the 2 TD spread, and this one seems not so hard anymore. ATS database went to pretty much strictly a pay service
(ba$tard$), so I can't easily bust out what happens when a roadie is a +14, but I'll take the doggies here. This pick is 100% a loser.

Ten -4: really? The captain going against the baby horses? Yup.. indeed I am! Also, picking up a MNF game on Friday is ultra rare for me. Anyhoozle... Now, Ten avergaes 3.5 points per game more, which is not enough to beat the spread; however, the D is where the difference is made on this one, and I dare you to disagree. Ten averages 11 against, whereas the Kiznolts are sittin at 21.8. Thats a whole bunch. Alright so usually in this scenario I would probably go Indy but clearly the Manning has issues now, and with all the injuries, the ponies just don't have what it takes anymore. All things must pass, and Indy being good was a good thing for our bankroll for a good long while. Sad but true... The Titans, my friends, are better than the Colts. (tear).

TB/DAL >40.5 Super Duper! A pair of crap Queue Bees, but the PPG avg betwixt these teams are 50! I have to assume this O/U is based on the Ds, but the Dallas D has been suspect for YEARS. The TB D has historically been better than their O-fense if I remember correctly, but the boys seem to generally have high scoring affairs, and this week is no exception. I suck, so this pick is dead wrong. The score will likely be a 2-2 tie at the end, if not 0-0.

So there you have it. I like these picks, but, I tend to sucks. My lucky streak at the front of the season was enough to provide bankroll for the remainder of the season if I play it correctly. OR!, I could be broke come Tuesday morning. Screw it. These are the picks. Concrete.


...by the way, I am about a quart of whiskey deep, so ignore all typos and grammatical type errors.
