No Runny Eggs

GBfan, in his excellent rant about the behavior of the pro-Mushroom crowd, compares them rather unfavorably to Peter Jennings infamous “temper tantrum” rant in 1994 when the CONSERVATIVE Contract With America brought the Republicans both Houses of Congress.

We’re closing in on the halfway point, and I’m at a money-making 56-44-2. Let’s see if I can continue (the line is the Sunday AM line from Yahoo) –

Minnesota @ Carolina (-7.5) – Stick a one in front of that 7.5.
Green Bay @ Cincinnati (-9) – What’s the over/under on the week Sherman gets fired?
Arizona (+9) @ Dallas – Somehow, the Cowboys’ defense always keeps it close.
Philadelphia @ Denver (-3.5) – I can’t bet against the altitude.
Chicago (+3) @ Detroit – Take the under 32.5 as Duh Bears take sole possession of first and wrap up the division.
Cleveland (+2) @ Houston – How is a winless team favored?
Jacksonville (-3.5) @ St Louis – No Martz = no points.
Buffalo @ New England (-9) – Tedy Bruschi will outscore Buffalo in his return.
Miami vs New Orleans (-2.5) @ Baton Rouge – It will be a happy almost-homecoming for the Saints, not-so-happy for Nick Saban.
Washington @ NY Giants (-2) – Too bad Tony Stewart can’t play quarterback.
Oakland (-1) @ Tennessee – The coin landed tails.
Kansas City (+6) @ San Diego – Just too many points to give.
Tampa Bay (-11) @ San Francisco – Tampa Bay -36 might be a fairer bet.
Baltimore @ Pittsburgh (-10) – Take Blitzburgh -33; the OldBrowns ain’t scoring.

I’ve been hiding all week from my bookie :-). Let’s review the piss-poor performance:

Kansas City 30 (+1.5) @ Miami 20 – Short week, late hurricane, what’s the difference?
Pittsburgh 27 (+1) @ Cincinnati 13 – …and there’s gonna be trouble.
Detroit 13 @ Cleveland 10 (-3) – Huh? Duh Lions won? On the ROAD??? Break out the end-of-the-world survival kits.
Green Bay 20 (-1.5) @ Minnesota 23 – It’s sad when I can’t even hit the over.
Indianapolis 38 (-15) @ Houston 20 – At least I didn’t take Indy -45.
San Diego 17 (+3.5-WIN) @ Philadelphia 20 – At least I got the points ;-)
New Orleans 17 @ St Louis 28 (-3) – Where did I go wrong on the prop bets?
San Francisco 17 @ Washington 52 (-13) – The Deadskin defense didn’t have to outscore Duh Whiners.
Dallas 10 @ Seattle 13 (-3.5-LOSS) – Damn half-points.
Baltimore 6 (+1) @ Chicago 10 – …and this is an unpredictable year.
Tennessee 10 @ Arizona 20 (-3.5) – Or at least they’ll find it often enough.
Denver 23 @ NY Giants 24 (-2-LOSS) – Of course, Hoffa’s dead.
Buffalo 17 (+3) @ Oakland 38 – Wha happen? Someone set us up the bomb.
NY Jets 14 @ Atlanta 27 (-7) – Brooks Bollinger is NOT an NFL quarterback.

Well, maybe it wasn’t such a piss-poor performance. 8-6 puts me at 56-44-2 on the year.
