Inspected by
Flipped it over and went 10-6 last week, evening me up for the year at 80-76-4.
Perhaps the underdog strategy worked?
This week:
Miami -3 vs. DETROIT (39)
DET
turkey, at home, and Miami's offense was a turkey last week.
DALLAS -11 vs. Tampa Bay (38½)
Dall.
Don't like the points, but if they can beat Indy by 7 this should be dessert.
Denver -1½ vs. KANSAS CITY
Den.
Still don't like Green yet, other than the 4th quarter drive he looked pedestrian the whole game against Oakland.
MINNESOTA -6 vs. Arizona (38½)
Minn.
Minnesoata's offense looks tired but Arizona is worse. Probably should take underdog, but its Arizona...
Carolina -5½ vs. WASHINGTON (36)
Car.
Another patented Carolina 2nd half of the season surge...
NEW ENGLAND -3 vs. Chicago (38)
N.E.
Better rounded team.
Cincinnati -3 vs. CLEVELAND (42½)
Cin.
Cinncy has to beat someone.
N.Y. JETS -5½ vs. Houston (39½)
NYJ
Jets need this game to keep pace with NE.
Jacksonville -3 vs. BUFFALO (37)
Jax.
Playing for wild card and they are on the outside looking in. Garrard played well agst banged up Giants.
ATLANTA -3 vs. New Orleans (46½)
New Orleans
toss up, dog
N.Y. Giants -4 vs. TENNESSEE (42½)
NYG
Time for Eli and company to man up.
SAN DIEGO -10½ vs. Oakland
S.D.
I wouldn't bet my house on it, but it looks good.
BALTIMORE -3 vs. Pittsburgh (39)
Balt.
Ravens drive the final stake through Steelers dream of playoffs.
ST. LOUIS -6 vs. San Francisco (46½)
S.F.
Like Niners to cover thisone, they are only a game out of division lead after win over Seattle.
INDIANAPOLIS -12½ vs. Philadelphia (47)
Ind.
With McNabb now out, this game turns into a dog.
SEATTLE -7 vs. Green Bay
GB
Taking the dog, just because its Hasllebecks first game back and he should be rusty and the spread is 7

Oceans 11 (2)
2nd Worst week of the season 6-10 dropping me below .500 for the year at 70-70-4.
Underdogs remain on fire this season (11 covers last week) 33 covers in 57 contests last 4 weeks...
Maybe I should go to the dog side?
This week:
BALTIMORE -3½ vs. Atlanta (40½)
Balt.
The last 2 weeks I knew that the Falcons could lose but thought, come on, not again,
wrong on both counts. Now with the defense hurting just can't pick em against Ravens D.
HOUSTON -2 vs. Buffalo (37)
Buff
Underdog
Chicago -4 vs. N.Y. JETS
NYJETS
Underdog
NEW ORLEANS -3½ vs. Cincinnati (49)
Cinn
Underdog, I think this will be a FG game
DALLAS E vs. Indianapolis (47)
Ind.
Parcells could make this interesting, but ride the hot horse.
MIAMI -3½ vs. Minnesota (35½)
Minn.
Another FG game.
New England -6 vs. GREEN BAY (44)
N.E.
Down year or not, NE is kicking bad teams.
KANSAS CITY -10 vs. Oakland (37)
Oak.
Too many points for Green return and Gonzalez injury, given Oaklands better play past few weeks.
Pittsburgh -3 vs. CLEVELAND (39)
Pitt.
Both 3-6 and both going nowhere fast but Pittsburgh still doesn't believe it yet...
CAROLINA -6 vs. St. Louis (43)
CAR.
Don't like the points but Carolina D is gearing up for a strong finish.
PHILADELPHIA -12½ vs. Tennessee (42½)
Tenn.
Again, too many points...
TAMPA BAY -2½ vs. Washington (35½)
T.B.
Toss up, home team.
ARIZONA -1½ vs. Detroit (46)
Det.
Seattle -4½ vs. SAN FRANCISCO
SF
Again too many questions with injured players returns, so too many points for my liking.
DENVER -3 vs. San Diego (40½)
San Diego
Should be a great close game, go with the dog.
JACKSONVILLE -3 vs. N.Y. Giants
NYG
I prefer Jax but the Garrard factor makes me suspect, Giants have a lot of injuries, toss up, take the dog...

tin
Worst week of the season 4-10 leaving me at 64-60-4 for the year.
Underdogs are on fire this season (10 covers last week) 22 covers in 41 contests last 3 weeks...
This week:
Baltimore -7 vs. TENNESSEE (38½)
Balt.
Baltimore comes in healthy and with McNair looking to prove a point.
INDIANAPOLIS -12 vs. Buffalo (45½)
Ind.
Indy will stumble one of these weeks, just not this one.
N.Y. GIANTS -3 vs. Chicago (37½) (SUNDAY NIGHT)
Chi
I think Chicago is primed for another loss but the Giants have too many key injuries to pull this one off.
ATLANTA -7½ vs. Cleveland (41½)
Atl.
Forget what I said last week, old Falcons surfaced, however, they HAVE to show up this week at home and make a statementor the wheels are off...
MINNESOTA -5 vs. Green Bay (40½)
GB
I don't like either one, but if Minnesota is having troubles scoring against SF then the dog might be a good bet.
JACKSONVILLE -10½ vs. Houston (39)
Jax
Houston, you have a problem.
Kansas City -2½ vs. MIAMI (40)
K.C.
Miami will have a tough time this week against KC running game.
PITTSBURGH -5½ vs. New Orleans (44)
N.O.
I like the Saints to cover, law of averages say the Steelers are due to win again sometime this season.
NEW ENGLAND -10 vs. N.Y. Jets (39)
N.E.
Way too much New England at home.
San Diego -1 vs. CINCINNATI (46½)
S.D.
Cinncy looks to be in trouble.
DETROIT -6 vs. San Francisco (44)
Det.
Win number 3, step right up
PHILADELPHIA -6½ vs. Washington (43)
Phil.
Hate this number, but Washington has been incredibly lucky twice this season...
Denver -7 vs. OAKLAND (37)
Den.
Oakland playing tougher, but not enough this week.
Dallas -6 vs. ARIZONA (43½)
Dall.
Dallas needs this one.
SEATTLE -5 vs. St. Louis
Sea
Don't like the number of points, but have to go with better team.
CAROLINA -9 vs. Tampa Bay (36)
Car.
Tampa is the basement dog in the NFC South this year...

even number nine
Another sub par week posting 6-8 leaving me at 60-50-4 for the year,
but it has all made for some exciting football action, so I'll take it
Atlanta -5½ vs. DETROIT (47)
Atlanta
In years past, (like 2004) this would be a game where the typical Falcons would fold up.
This isn't the typical Falcons we're dealing with.
BALTIMORE -3 vs. Cincinnati (40)
Baltimore
Defense rules.
WASHINGTON -1½ vs. Dallas (39)
Dallas
reluctant pick at best
BUFFALO -3 vs. Green Bay (40)
Green Bay
flip a coin, go with the (rectal) themometer
N.Y. GIANTS -13 vs. Houston (43)
NYG
on a roll
ST. LOUIS -3 vs. Kansas City (47½)
ST. LOU
another nail biter
CHICAGO -13½ vs. Miami (38½)
CHI
Ride this horse until shes dead...
New Orleans -1 vs. TAMPA BAY (38½)
New Orleans
Back on the winning side
JACKSONVILLE -9 vs. Tennessee (38)
Tenn
Offensive woes slow down Jacks just enough for Tennessee to cover.
Minnesota -6½ vs. SAN FRANCISCO (41)
Minn
Brad Johnson looks old enough to be a real Viking
SAN DIEGO -12½ vs. Cleveland (41½)
SD
Cleveland may be better next year. They need a line.
PITTSBURGH -2 vs. Denver (35)
Den
How is Pitt favored, desperation? They lost to the Raiders last week.
NEW ENGLAND -1 vs. Indianapolis (47½)
NE
Colts finally lose one they should
SEATTLE -7½ vs. Oakland (39)
SEA
I just cannot pick Oakland, in spite of the past 2 weeks
