The theme of the week was .500, as that was what I was aiming to smash. Unfortunately, it turned out to be my target:
Chicago 16 @ Washington 24 (-3) – How far have Duh Bears fallen? Todd Freaking Collins lit them up.
Oakland 7 @ Green Bay 38 (-11) – The bad news; Eric never made it up to the Frozen Tundra.
Dallas 28 (-11.5-LOSS) @ Detroit 27 – At least I told you to take the over. Odds of a house-cleaning in Detroit are now even.
Minnesota 27 @ San Francisco 7 (+9) – Where, oh where did the Niners’ offense go?
Carolina 6 @ Jacksonville 37 (-11) – Yeah it was ugly; not quite as ugly as me, but still ugly.
Miami 17 @ Buffalo 38 (-7) – The loser train rolls on.
New York Giants 16 @ Philadelpha 13 (-3) – I see the problem with my call; McNabb played.
San Diego 23 @ Tennessee 17 (+1.5) – Damn overtime.
St Louis 10 (+7) @ Cincinnati 19 – No Bulger, no win.
Tampa Bay 14 (-3) @ Houston 28 – I was pleading for help here. I didn’t get it.
Arizona 21 @ Seattle 42 (-7) – Bad Warner’s back.
Pittsburgh 13 (+10) @ New England 34 – I should’ve stuck with the road comment here. Nobody’s beating the Pats until 2008.
Cleveland 24 (-3.5) @ New York Jets 18 – Also insert J-E-T-S S*CK! SU*K! SUC*!
Kansas City 7 @ Denver 41 (-7) – Yep, it was in Denver.
Indianapolis 44 (-10) @ Baltimore 20 – Nothing like having every 4th pass attempt be complete to the end zone.
New Orleans 34 (-4.5) @ Atlanta 14 – Crater, baby!
8-8 ATS, 1-1 O/U leaves the season 98-99-11 ATS and 17-10-1 O/U at the end of business Monday. Unbelievably, the over-unders have locked in an above-.500 finish. Even more-incredibly, the early returns on Week 15 have left a mark on that glass ceiling.
Revisions/extensions (8:55 am 12/16/2007) – I need to learn how to count; that’s 9-7 ATS, which puts me over that .500 mark at 99-98-11. Take THAT, The Man!
