NFL Picks: Week 7 Results
W/W - Cardinals +6 at Redskins, Cardinals +6: Moments like this, I feel like I am the master of a point spread.
W/W - Falcons +7 at Saints, Saints +7: I thought the Saints would win by a few less, but it was still less than a touchdown.
L/L - Ravens -3 at Bills, Ravens cover: The Ravens have reached “I can’t f*cking pick this team” status.
W/L - Vikings +9.5 at Cowboys, Vikings +9.5: Fuggin half-points.
W/W - Patriots -15.5 at Dolphins, Patriots cover: I’m taking them against the spread, regardless of what it is, until they don’t cover one.
W/W - Niners +6 at Giants, Giants cover: I really have to remind myself that the Giants haven’t really beaten anyone good yet, but whatever.
L/L - Bucs +2 at Lions, Bucs outright: The answer is, as always, Jesus > Bandwagons. Something to note about the Lions: they’re winning games they should win and losing games they should lose. They’re not really rocking the boat at all. My new strategy with the Lions is to not overthink the game under any circumstances.
L/L - Titans at Texans, Texans: I hate both these teams.
W/W - Chiefs +3 at Raiders, Chiefs outright: OK, so it wasn’t exactly “exploitation” but it worked out. At some point, the Chiefs have to go back over to the “giving points” column don’t they?
L/L - Jets +6 at Bengals, Jets outright: This looked like a pretty good pick until the fourth quarter. So, here’s the question: who does Pennington start for next season? I have Minnesota or San Francisco.
L/W - Bears -5 at Eagles, Bears +5: I just want to point out that I’ve been calling the Eagles over-rated since before the season started.
W/W - Rams +10.5 at Seahawks, Seahawks cover: As it turns out, the half point is not going to bite me. In fact, it would have taken about 40 more half points to bite me.
L/L - Steelers -3.5 at Broncos, Steelers cover: So, a while back I asked if, eventually, the Steelers had to stop crushing people. I kinda meant for one game, not for the rest of the season.
W/W - Colts -3 at Jaguars, Colts Cover (48, 27-21): Hey guys, remember me? I”m Peyton Manning… I’m on every commercial ever? Remember… current season TD Pass leader. Hello? Actual Score (36) 29-7.
Locks: Steelers -3.5 over Broncos (L), Colts -3 over Jags (W), Giants -6 over Niners (W)
