Too bad I didn’t calculate them before making my picks, but I ended up okay posting 5-3 in the early games, 4-2 in the late games, and 1-1 in the night games, for a combined 10-6 overall. For me, that’s unbelievably good. Will that translate into a net win for the week? I’m doubtful. Early Games 55 for 120 on the **Giants & the Over** Stupid over. Down 55 from a shutout, which is annoying. Late Games 30 for 60 on the **Eagles & the Over** Wow, got housed in that one, but as a Giants fan it’s all good. Down 85 so far. Sunday Night 30 for 25 on the **Bills** Woohoo, go Billies! I really thought they’d win outright. That 25 helps the cause, so now down 60. Monday Night 55 for 50 on the **Steelers** _sigh_ Divisional games are funny things. That 50 seemed like easy money, but ended up costing me 55, so down a total of 115 for the week, despite going 10-6 in the picks. At least I didn’t lose every bet booked. That’s something, I guess.
