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.

2008 NFL Week 3

by @ 9:51. Filed under Sports.

Now that I reached the first goal of getting over .500 at 15-14-2 (I’ll ignore the 1-3 against the over/unders), it’s time to start actually making money.

Dallas (-3) @ Green Bay – Take this week for the week Aaron Rodgers goes out for the season. Unfortunately, there’s nobody that’s even semi-competent behind him.
Tampa Bay (+3) @ Chicago – The word of the day is “revenge”.
Carolina (+3.5) @ Minnesota – The Injury Discount is in full effect.
Detroit @ San Francisco (-5) – Can anybody tell me why this isn’t 15? Oh yeah; take the under-47; the Lions aren’t scoring.
Kansas City @ Atlanta (-6.5) – The irresistable force will run over the movable object.
Oakland @ Buffalo (-10) – It may not be snowing, but it’s not going to be fun for the Raiders.
Houston @ Tennessee (-5.5) – The Tennesseeans are glad they’re not in Houston anymore. The Texans only wish they weren’t.
Cincinnati @ NY Giants (-13) – Even though the BenGALs won’t score, take the over-42 as Jimmy Hoffa chants “Sieve!”
Arizona (+3) @ Washington – Give the dog a bone and send your man rolling home.
Miami @ New England (-13) – The Pats showed me something last week.
St. Louis (+10) @ Seattle – How bad is the Seahawks’ offense? Koren Fragging Robinson is back in the league.
New Orleans @ Denver (-6) – No blown calls required this week.
Pittsburgh (+3.5) @ Philadelphia – I like defenses.
Jacksonville (+4.5) @ Indianapolis – Before injuries, this would have been the Game of the Week.
Cleveland @ Baltimore (-3) – Neo is no more.
NY Jets (+8.5) @ San Diego – Given the nature of the Chargers’ losses, if I took them, I’d be giving too many points.

What a difference a week makes

The Bar is no more, the Pub’s in flames after I took a day off, but let’s review the great week it was…

Green Bay 48 (-3) @ Detroit 25 – Had this been Turkey Day, this would’ve been a trap.
Indianapolis 18 (-2.5) @ Minnesota 15 – I might have to rethink my Viqueens as champs call; they’re looking more like the usual chumps.
Chicago 17 @ Carolina 20 (-3-TIE) – “Taketh the home team,” and loseth the vig.
Oakland 23 (+3.5) @ Kansas City 8 – Two picks and eight points is proof of the maxim.
Tennessee 24 @ Cincinnati 7 (pick’em) – More like jump off the bridge after this one; the BenGALS are done.
New Orleans 24 @ Washington 29 (+1) – All of a sudden, I can’t pick the over/unders.
NY Giants 41 (-8.5) @ St. Louis 13 – Baaaa, baaaa bwahahahahahaha!
Buffalo 20 (+4.5) @ Jacksonville 16 – You can’t win if you’re not healthy.
Atlanta 9 (+7) @ Tampa Bay 24 – Sometimes you’re the dog, sometimes you’re the milk bone.
San Francisco 33 (+7) @ Seattle 30 – Nice to see the overtime curse is broken.
Miami 10 @ Arizona 31 (-7) – Booked, and collected
New England 19 @ NY Jets 10 (-1) – And no streaks ended.
San Diego 38 @ Denver 39 (-1-TIE) – Why did you go for two, Mike? It screwed me out of my vig.
Pittsburgh 10 (-6-LOSS) @ Cleveland 6 – And the weather dominated.
Philadelphia 37 (+7-WIN) @ Dallas 41 – Lesson to the wise; do not celebrate on the one.

A nice 9-4-2 week pushes the season to 15-14-2. Unfortunately, the over/unders fell to 1-3.
