(Cue the music) “Mama said they’ll be weeks like this, they’ll be weeks like this Mama said (Mama said, Mama said).” Ouch! Okay, no more picking 5 games (last week – 1-4). I knew last week when I did that there was an uneasy vibe in the air. A couple of thoughts: Bears are bad and they proved it again last night. I have to stop picking on Dallas - that was a solid win in Philly, although I was under the impression that Westbrook was going to play – he is a difference-maker. I guess New Orleans can’t win every week by double-digits…..but they will this week. On to Week 11:

New Orleans -13.5 at Rams – A Dome is a Dome is a Dome. The spread is under the dreaded 14 because it is an away game and people got burned by picking New Orleans last week against Carolina (i.e. Me). Don’t fear the big points this week – keep pounding New Orleans. It will pan out in the long run.

Broncos -3.5 at Redskins Having a hard time figuring this one out and that usually scares me away from a game. The Broncos are coming off two losses and it is time to right the ship. Playing a woefully awful team is the way to do it. I’m not letting that hook (.5) scare me away on this one.

Ravens -10.5 at Browns Typically would stay away from a “bad blood” rivalry, but this time around, the scales are too heavily tipped Baltimore’s way. For crying out loud, the Bears beat Cleveland by 24 – you don’t think that Baltimore’s Defense will shut down the Brownies? Think of it like this: how many points will Cleveland score? Most – probably 10. Do you think that Baltimore’s offense can put up 21 or more points? Well then, load up.

Season Total 19-18

When “betting,” I don’t know which which is harder to deal with, winning early and then losing or losing first and then winning. Either way, I ended up 2-2 last week, but I hate starting out positive (KC & DEN) and then losing in the late games (NE & NYJ). I’m still not a Denver believer, I’m sorry. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Kyle Orton hater. I liked him at Purdue and he did what he could do for the Bears. But seriously, New England, bring all of your defenders up within 15 yards of the line of scrimmage and you don’t have to cover past that. Kyle still can’t throw deep or on the run. Let me give you their playbook: slants, 5 and outs, 10 and outs, curls, screens. Denver’s offense will nickel and dime you to death – which has worked for now, but as soon as a Defensive Coordinator figures it out, you won’t see those W’s stacking. Can you tell I’m a little angry about that one? On to WEEK 6: (more…)
