Well sportsfan, there’s no sugar coating last week’s performance. I ate my d1ck. Another week like that and my editors are going to yank my column from me. But it won’t happen this week because I convinced them that my reader needs me. Besides, even with a rough week like that, it’s hard to argue with a 10-4-1 record against the spread. This week there are loads of 1.5 point spreads – nearly a pick ‘em, and I’m going with the away team in each of them:
Three team parlay to get you back in the black:
Detroit +1.5 @ Dallas. Detroit’s going undefeated, so I might as well take the points, even though I won’t need them. Tony Romo’s left arm will literally fall off during the second half when Ndamasomething trips over his third leg and crushes him for a sack.
New Orleans -7 @ Jacksonville. I honestly don’t even know who plays on Jacksonville or I’d make fun of them for not trying to get a job with the Canadian Football League.
New York Giants – 1.5 @ Arizona. The Giants are going to have to get past Detroit if they want it all again, but this week they coast against a minor league affiliate of the University of Southern California. Kevin Kolb’s happy to have a new contract. Too bad it didn’t come with his old team.
And for spreadin’ around money:
Minnesota – 1.5 @ Kansas City. Donovan McPukey simply can not lose to this team. Not by 1.5, not by 7.5.
New England -4.5 @ Oakland. Everyone’s saying how good Oakland is, and how bad New England’s defense is, and how they didn’t know that Oakland still had a team. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? That’s what they said last week vs. Buffalo. Still, I’m going to ride the Pats one more time because I feel like it, that’s why.
