GL eye. That is a tough task. I should give it a whirl next year. I skipped the first weeks because they are hardest to handicap. You don't know how the teams will gel yet.

Next year I will load the online account up. This year was practice. I can see where I have made a lot of mistakes. One is never ask a bad team to win for you. Practice was only a $100 for the year that's cheap entertainment. You have had a real good year. Are you betting them or just picking for fun ?

Just for fun. Some people have been asking me about picks for years after getting unsolicited advice that was dead on in retrospect. I made some mistakes as well, like picking against the Patriots because they were banged up. They are notorious for having the deepest depth. I should have known better.

I'm taking
Buffalo -1
Chicago -8.5
Jets -3
Giants +7

No play for Thursday. I am tempted to pick Seattle but Jackson was hurting last week and I don't think he will be 100% tomorrow. Seattle has played better at home. Should have played my gut instinct on Seahawks. Maybe my adjustments after the injury repot for Sundays games will be better.
Post injury report:
Dropped Raiders, Lions, 49ers and Colts
Chiefs +7
Bengals +6.5
Ravens -6.5
Jets -3
Falcons -3 A reversal. Too many injuries for Texans
Panthers +3.5
Broncos +1.5
Pending injury report:
Jaguars +2.5

Since almost all the teams I gave up points on let the other team catch up leaving me 1 and 5 for the 1 o'clock games, I will put in the pick I scratched in tonight's game. The peril of giving up points in pro football. They are only trying to win, not cover the spread. The Cowboys and Giants seemed very evenly matched but I felt the injury situation favored the home Cowboys. Being a division rivalry that might decide the division title, I scratched it. The other remaining picks were the ones I felt best about.
49ers -3.5
Broncos -3.5
Cowboys -3.5
Seahawks -7.5
