Revisons/extensions (3:54 pm 12/19/2007) – Bumped to the top after noting the Viqueens couldn’t cover Monday in the worst of all possible outcomes.
I’m getting greedy now; break-even is but a few games away (depending on the vig) since I went 11-5 (and a mere 1-1 on the over/unders):
Green Bay 33 (-9) @ St. Louis 14 – Is there a record Brett Favre doesn’t hold?
Detroit @ San Diego 51 (-11) – Let Duh Lions hit the floor.
Chicago 13 @ Minnesota 20 (-10-LOSS) – Fragging turnovers. Guess the man the head barkeep calls Purple Jesus hit the rookie wall.
Denver 13 @ Houston 31 (+2) – It’s a road of horrors for the wild ponies.
Cincinnati 13 @ San Francisco 20 (+9) – The BenGALS are toastified.
Arizona 24 @ New Orleans 31 (-4) – Just pass, baby.
Atlanta 3 @ Tampa Bay 37 (-14) – New coach, same result.
Baltimore 16 (-4) @ Miami 22 – And then there were none, part 1
Buffalo 0 @ Cleveland 8 (-6) – Just run, baby.
Jacksonville 29 (+3.5) @ Pittsburgh 22 – Fred Taylor still has it
NY Jets 10 @ New England 20 (-23-LOSS) – Damn snow.
Seattle 10 @ Carolina 13 (+8) – Upset special of the day gets Sister Toldjah healthy.
Tennessee 26 (-4) @ Kansas City 17 – Just the right amount from Vince Young.
Indianapolis 21 @ Oakland 14 (+11-WIN) – At least it’s a moral victory, Eric (and because of the long 11 I took, a win for me).
Philadelphia 10 @ Dallas 6 (-11) – Westbrook is very smart; instead of scoring with just over 2 minutes left to make it a 2-score game and give the Cowboys a chance to score again and again, he sat down at the Dallas’ 1 because the Boys were out of timeouts.
Washington 22 @ NY Giants 10 (-5) – Jeremy Shockey perfectly illustrated the G-men’s season. Unfortunately, I was counting on him to salvage the Yahoo half of my fantasy football year.
That pushes the year-to-date record to 110-103-11 ATS and 18-11-1 O/U. Hopefully, you’ve been taking the over/unders, and your Man is only charging a 10% vig; then you’re only a pair of 12-6 weeks away from making money. Without the over/unders and the 10% vig, it’s a pair of 12-4 weeks. At 15% vig, you’d need the over-unders and a pair of 15-3 weeks (or without them, you’d need a pair of 15-1 weeks). At 20%, you’d be screwed, blued and tattoed.
Come to think of it, I’m screwed, at least without a good post-season.

Arguably the very smartest play I have EVER seen from the pros in 40+ years–from a PHILLY player, no less!
Do I have to write Go Bucky?
Anyway, I have to go with Dad29. I’ve never seen a player play this smart. At first, I thought, WTH? But it was quickly obvious.
Of course, those who have him on their fantasy team are probably not singing his praises.
Last I heard, neither Marquette nor UWM had a football team.
Seriously, you could have reloaded the page to get a different word.
Of all the plays I’ve seen this weekend, that “Ephus pitch” Favre threw to Jennings ranks right up there for fun factor.
Wish some of the Lions were as smart as Westbrook, then with the Pack 12-2, the ‘boys would be 11-3.
Steve,
Where are this week’s picks?
Patience, padawan. Those picks will be up tomorrow; I don’t see any Wednesday night games.
