Spread Picker Picks
7 Rams WIN
4 Eagles Loss
4 Ravens WIN
4 Texans WIN
2 49ers WIN
2 Vikings Loss
1 Bills WIN
1 Dolphins WIN
1 Packers WIN
1 Titans Loss

The spread picker posted a solid 7-3 performance this week, which is always reassuring to see. 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.
