Week 12
Picksmissing.
Overall: 77-78-5, so very close.
Last Week: 11-4-1, a holiday from losing.
Best Bets: 12-9-1.
BB Last Week: 2-0.
Dodecalogue: Well... having seven people staying in my 400 sq. ft. 1 BR apartment kinda hindered my ability to put much (okay, any) effort into the BTK blog last week. For that, I apologize. While I wasn't able to find the time or space to get my picks in here, there were made for the BTK football pool. Any reader (here I laugh at that alien concept) doubtful that I made picks is welcome to contact me and be forwarded a time-stamped email containing my picks and the spreads upon which they were made, as well as plentiful documentation from friends, allies, former bosses, my exterminator, that guy that drinks double-deuces on my stoop every morning, my barber, my professional sycophant, and sundry other characters of stellar repute all testifying to my honesty, integrity, and inability to maintain this project for 17 straight weeks. Suffice to say that I won the BTK weekly football pool. Suffice to say that I ended up having my best week the one time I was incapable of chronicling those picks on this rant sheet. Is blogging a curse? Is BTK screwing with my picks? Dragging me down? Putting its virtual boot to my tangible neck? Pilfering my frogskins? No matter. Here were the picks I made, love 'em or leave 'em:
Lions (+9) -- L; I figured Colts couldn't cover on the short week. Ouch.
Cowboys (-3.5) -- W; it's the Bears, dude.
Pats (-7) -- W; Boller isn't that good.
Eagles (-7) -- W; Giants nosedive initiated.
Steelers (-10.5) -- L; they couldn't cover against a team that hasn't scored more than 18 points.
Browns (+6) -- L; I was (and am) unwilling to give the Bengals 6 points.
Vikes (-5.5) -- W; Jags' last-minute mojo all used up.
Panthers (+3) -- W; the cats are bad, but not Bucs bad.
Chargers (+3) -- W; 7-3 gets three points against 3-7? too easy.
Texans (+2) -- W; have you seen the Titans play?
Saints (+9.5) -- W; love my birds, but it's foolish to think their offense can cover this number.
Jets (-3) -- W; -3 vs. the Cards and they still barely pulled it out.
Seahawks (-4.5) -- L; the 'hawks are this years Vikes.
Fins (+1) -- W; since when are the 9ers favorites?
Raiders (+10.5) -- W; see the Falcons.
Pack (-6) -- W; the Packers are rolling.
Do the math and that's 12-4. I'll get a'bloggin' again later this week. Uh, maybe...
