Set, GO!

Just to make sure I have no female readers I'll post a picture of the most hated woman out there right now

Only 5 games this week. First excuse of this horrible exercise coming up.....now keep in mind we still had a winning week last week, but the games i lost i can learn 2 lessons from. 1) Don't bet on horrible teams 2) don't try to pick 10 games a week just for the sake of betting 10 games a week. I think  last week i was still high off my 7-1-1 first week and thought, "yeah, i can pick 9 or 10 games every week and rake it." So this week i picked the games i felt best about and it only came out to 5, and they are probably in the order i like them too....or close enough.

Denver +2.0 @ Miami - This feels like free money. Miami is in the driver's seat of the overused, "Suck for Luck" playoffs. They have a shit home field advantage, Matt Moore at QB, their best player, Brandon Marshall, wants Luck as much as anybody, and their coach could give two shits as his ass is grass after this season or once they've clinched Luck. Meanwhile you have Tim Tebow and baby Jesus on the Bronco's side so that's good for the win right there. 

Tampa +1 vs. Bears - I seriously hate the Bears. Jay Cutler is a loser and the one thing that pisses me off most about the Carson Palmer trade is now it vindicates the Cutler trade. I hate that teams haven't gotten the memo.....DON'T KICK TO DEVIN HESTER!!!!!!!! and  they never do what they are supposed to do. Win games against great teams and lose against shite and I feel like people are expecting them to win, and so does Vegas as they somehow made Tampa a home dog to Da' Bears! I feel like Tampa really got woken up by that Niners beat down and will play another great game at home and then Vegas will readjust. 

Jets +3 vs. SD - Another home dog? And I feel a little less sure about this one but the Jets at home in sort of a must win game for them, I'll take the 3 vs a Charger's team that hasn't had the Norv Turner letdown really yet this year.

Kansas City +3.5 @ Oakland - Ugh! I actually literally just added this game. I know, it goes against my initial, "don't bet on shit teams" statement earlier in this very blog but sometimes i just cant help myself. KC is coming off a bye, Cassel has actually been on fire, maybe they figured out what to do at RB during the bye, and Oakland is starting either Kyle f'ing Boller or a QB who was chillen on a beach for the last year or so, and the public is betting Oakland at 72%...... Ugh sign me up for the fade on public money

Panthers -2.5 vs Redskins - I think the Redskins ride is over and I hate myself for it but I am sort of on the Cam Newton bandwagon. 

Falcons + 4 @ Detroit - I'm a Niners fan. And as a Niner's fan I remember those great starts with talented teams and then the stomach punch that was Bret Favre that threw us into like an 0 - 8 skid. I'm not saying the Lions will go that path as obviously they have a much better QB and a freak of a WR that can basically win them games on their own, but I am thinking the Falcons were looking at Frank Gore's 15 rushes for 127,468 yards and salivating at the prospect of Turner doing the same thing and parlaying that into some play action confidence building passes for Matt Ryan. And for a week or 2 i think the league will adjust and the Lions, playing the hard part of their schedule, will come back to reality.

Last week - 4-4
Season - 11-5-1
