NFL YTD 18-22 -7.85 units
2* 3-4 -3.0 units
1* 15-18 -4.85 units
I went 2-3 last weekend including a 2* loss on Green Bay, which looked terrible against Houston. This has been a brutal NFL season for me as the things I normally look for are simply not paying off this year. That being said, I like both of this week's plays quite a bit and have some very strong opinions on a lot of the bowl games. Onward......
2* Colts -16 1/2
I never play NFL favorites this big but the things I normally do in the NFL haven't worked this year. Besides, Indy is on a major roll with six wins in a row and can't afford to let up because it needs every win it can get to land a wildcard berth. The Lions may win a game but it won't be this one. They played hard at home Sunday to lose a heartbreaker to the Vikings and are likely to be badly dispirited here. Colts by four touchdowns.
1* Chiefs +6
Is it finally obvious that Norv Turner can't coach??? San Diego is awful and is still getting lines based on Schottenheimer's 2006 team. KC has played hard all year for Edwards (another bad coach, by the way) and is historically very tough in December at home. The Chargers offense has disintegrated and the running game is gone. The sad fact is LT may be washed up. SD ranks 26th rushing. If you think that's bad, their defense is ranked 32nd. But who am I to talk with my record???
(NOTE: The KC line is available as of this post at one of BC's sponsors, Bookmaker, which is where I placed my bet.)
Opinions only:
Dolphins
Texans
One bowl play I am playing now at the following line:
1* Connecticut -4
I'd grab this line now as it is likely to move up if Buffalo's Turner Gill is hired at another school. I think the MAC is a big bet-against in the bowls. They've never had this many teams selected and it was a very weak year in that conference to boot. There's no other explanation for the dominance of a weak team like Ball State.
