Last Week: 8-7-1
Season: 69-54-5 (
Not a bad week. Quite acceptable actually, considering that four of my losses were in games that featured at least 8-and-a-half point lines (I hate picking those lines) AND that the odds-makers failed to account for Marion Barber‘s impact on a line as the starting RB.
Ok, so I typed this entire post and apparently got automatically signed out of WordPress, so I lost it all. After some swearing and stomping around, I’ve decided to just post the picks under the banner of this one theme:
Since the beginning of the 2006 season, the home team is 69-46-1 against the spread when they are getting at least a touchdown.
Dallas -7 @Tampa Bay – Tampa Bay.
Washington +6.5 @NY Giants – Washington.
Green Bay -13.5 @Kansas City - Kansas City.
New Orleans -7.5 @Minnesota – New Orleans.
Seattle +3.5 @Chicago – Seattle.
Miami +2 @Buffalo – Buffalo.
Carolina +6 @Houston – Carolina.
Tennessee -6.5 @Indianapolis – Tennessee. I do remember this short-but-sweet reason. Indy has not lost by less than a touchdown since week 5 when they lost to Kansas City 28-24.
Cincinnati – 7 @St. Louis – St. Louis. Rams are 2-12 against the spread this year. Time for a regression to the mean.
Detroit -1 @Oakland – Detroit.
New England -7.5 @Denver – Denver.
NY Jets +3 @Philadelphia – NY Jets.
Cleveland +6.5 @Arizona – Arizona.
Baltimore -2.5 @San Diego – San Diego.
Pittsburgh +3 @San Francisco – San Francisco.
