Let’s review the split-even .500 Week 12, which started out with 3-0 promise, jumped to 8-3 after the noon games, and sunk like a Deadfin punt after that:
Green Bay 37 (-4) @ Detroit 26 – And thus falls yet another historical slump (paying attention Owen and Wigs?).
NY Jets 3 @ Dallas 34 (-14.5) – NBC and the 9/10ths of the country that aren’t in Green Bay, Dallas and Milwaukee are regretting missing out on Game of the Century II.
Indianapolis 31 (-13) @ Atlanta 13 – That ain’t cowbell coming from Hotlanta.
Minnesota 41 (+7) @ NY Giants 17 – The only bad thing was I had the Vikes D sitting on the bench in one of my leagues.
Denver 34 (+1.5) @ Chicago 37 – Lesson #1 – Do not kick to Devin Hester. Lesson #2 – Do not kick into the oncoming rusher in an attempt to kick away from Devin Hester. Lesson #3 – Listen to the Egg on the over/unders.
Tennessee 6 (-1.5) @ Cincinnati 35 – I call this a dead-cat bounce.
Buffalo 14 @ Jacksonville 36 (-8.5) – This game is further away than it appears.
Oakland 20 @ Kansas City 17 (-6) – Cooked Chef is now on the menu.
Houston 17 @ Cleveland 27 (-3.5) – Once again, Neo wins at home.
Seattle 24 (-3) @ St. Louis 19 – FUMBLE!!!!
New Orleans 35 @ Carolina 6 (+3) – The rest of the year is free. Sorry, ST.
Washington 13 @ Tampa Bay 19 (-3) – (Turnover, turnover, turnover) x 2
San Francisco 37 @ Arizona 31 (-10.5) – The bionics shorted out.
Baltimore 14 (+10) @ San Diego 32 – Where, oh where did the OldBrowns D go?
Philadelphia 28 @ New England 31 (-23-LOSS) – Odds that McNabb is the starting QB next year, 5-2 (nobody accused the Eagles of being smart).
Miami 0 @ Pittsburgh 3 (-16.5-LOSS) – Everybody must get stoned and soaked. Meanwhile, Ricky’s done for the year.
Oh well, we’ll try to bust .500 again this week, as the ATS record goes to 81-84-11. The good news is I finally got a 2-0 week against the over/under to push that to 15-8-1.
