Oh...

1-4 isn't bad right? Right?

Unacceptable. And if I had more than a dike from Chicago following my advice, I might actually feel bad. Maybe I'll start betting hockey, better yet, how about entertainment props? 5/8 on "Up in the Air" to win Best Picture? Lock City. Hey i hit Jen Hudson's National Anthem Over/Under during the Super Bowl last year, maybe I need to focus on more off-field wagers.

Naw. I know I can bet, I know what I'm doing. Tables will turn, and they will turn today, in Arizona.

Line: Green Bay -2 @ Arizona.
OVER/UNDER: 47

This line opened at Green Bay +3 at the beginning of the week, then went down a point a day as Boldin looked more and more unlikely to play. I tried going against the grain yesterday, thinking there wasn't going to be two blowouts identical to the previous weeks games and that maybe the Bengals and Eagles would make at least ONE ADJUSTMENT!!!! But it didn't happen. Those games aside, I've liked Green Bay all week, even giving two on the road. Boldin isn't expected to play, Warner is talking about retiring, the Cardinals, well, they know the season's done. Outside of Dallas, Green Bay has been the most impressive team down the stretch. They pass, they run, and they play great defense. Arizona can pass, that's it, and they're without their second best WR. Green Bay wins, you win, I win.

In the early game I'll be rooting for Ray Rice, that's it. His OVER/UNDER for catches is 4 1/2 and 35 receiving yards. I like both of those to go over the number. New England's bend-don't-break defense will allow short dump offs to Rice all day. Baltimore is going to try and slow the game down, meaning a heavy dose of Ray Rice.

Oh and when the future props are readjusted after today's games, I like the Chargers as an investment to win the AFC.

  1. Wow, a couple bad days and you get surly. Not all women who like sports are dikes. Come to the United Center sometime. You'll see lots of us gorgeous girls and we're all with men. (The men aren't good looking, but the ones with good looking women have money.)

    Anyway, I had a tough weekend too going 1-3 on NFL games. Luckily I doubled up on Arizona after going 0-3 on the first three games. My husband had to keep me from driving an ice pick through my left ear into my brain after Rackers missed the FG at the end of regulation.

    Looking ahead to Saturday, bet the house on Indy and New Orleans. Actually, I'm going with all the home teams this weekend. But the Saturday plays are better.

  2. Where's the love? Admit it. You made some great money off me. 10 units on the two Saturday games, a wash on Sunday. You should be up 20 units, minus some minor juice on Sunday, if you followed my advice.
