No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Packer-less Week 6 (Redemption Part 3)

by @ 9:57. Filed under Sports.

We just found out how bad odd weeks are. Let’s forget that and recall the good times on even weeks, as this is one of those. It will be a bit harder to gamble online this weekend, because there’s a fresh new law prohibiting your bank from making money transfers with offshore gaming havens (“thanks”, Bill “Cave Jr” Frist, for squeezing that into the port security bill; we’ll remember in ’08 when you try to run for President), but once again, the lines come to us from bodog.com –

Buffalo @ Detroit (+2) – You may like the points, you may want the points, you will get the points from a reputable bookie, but you’re not gonna need them. The Bills are making un-fixable mistakes.
Cincinnati (-5.5) @ Tampa Bay – I know the record of teams coming off the bye with a loss going into it isn’t good, but Duh Bucs are worse.
Tennessee @ Washington (-11) – I know what happened last weekend. The Tennesseeans don’t have the passing skills to pull it off 2 weeks in a row.
Houston (+13.5) @ Dallas – This has most of the makings of a shootout. Take the over-44.
Seattle @ St Louis (+3) – The Seahags are not a road team, and are even less of a team without Shaun Alexander and Bobby Engram.
NY Giants @ Atlanta (-3) – Home Sweet Dome.
Philadelphia (-3.5) @ New Orleans – The Saints cannot stop the pass.
Carolina (+3) @ Baltimore – Steve Smith will finally break out in this otherwise-defensive struggle.
Miami (+3) @ NY Jets – I’m going with my fallback position here.
San Diego (-10) @ San Francisco – No contest. Give some cracktion to your man for extra cash (I figure giving him 20 and the Whiners should be safe).
Kansas City (+7) @ Pittsburgh – Too many points to give, especially with the Chefs defense. Go under-37.
Oakland @ Denver (-14.5) – For the life of me, I can’t figure out why you’re giving so few points to take the ponies. NBC is wondering when they can start raiding games from Fox and CBS.
Chicago (-11.5) @ Arizona – Do the math … One killer defense + rookie quarterback = massacre

Well, it was Weak 5

by @ 9:18. Filed under Sports.

Despite going 13-1 straight-up (damn Bledsoe), I only went 5-6-3 against the line to dip back below .500 (34-35-5) How did I blow it so bad? Let’s find out…

St. Louis 23 (-3-TIE) @ Green Bay 20 – There’s enough people to blame for this one. I blame them all.
Buffalo 7 @ Chicago 40 (-10) – As long as Grossman’s stinky fingers stay unbroken, look out NFL.
Detroit 17 (+7) @ Minnesota 26 – At least I told you to take the over.
Tennessee 13 @ Indianapolis 14 (-18.5-LOSS) – Call me a fool for trying to lay the lumber. Guess it was the running back.
Washington 3 @ NY Giants 19 (-5) – The G-men are the second tier of the NFC
Tampa Bay 21 @ New Orleans 24 (-7-LOSS) – Why don’t rookies get double-points on their first TD?
Miami 10 @ New England 20 (-10-TIE) – Joanie almost came all the way through for me, but at least I went 2-0 on my over/under specials.
Cleveland 12 @ Carolina 20 (-8-TIE) – What’s with all the pushes last weekend?
NY Jets 0 @ Jacksonville 41 (-7) – Repeating, J-E-T-S S*CK! SU*K! SUC*!
Kansas City 23 (-3.5-LOSS) @ Arizona 20 – Durn half-point.
Oakland 20 @ San Francisco 34 (-3.5) – If Duh Raiders couldn’t win last weekend, they won’t win this season. Bad news for the Drive to #1.
Dallas 24 (+2) @ Philadelphia 38 – That was bad fried rice.
Pittsburgh 13 (+3.5) @ San Diego 23 – I got smashed on this one.
Baltimore 3 @ Denver 13 (-4) – Hooray Rain!
