After a week of sick leave - probably due to the Broncos' downward spiral - i'm back on my feet. Denver cost me nearly half my season winnings in their loss to the redskins - the Washington fucking redskins - without Portis. WTF. Oh well, at least I was burned enough to stay as far away from the Chargers/Broncos line as humanly possible. Things are looking good with some exciting games this week, but before we get into that lets cover some interesting shit that happened.
Double Barrell
Titans 86 year old owner Bud Adams saluted Bills fans in style after the Titans 47-17 win last week on MNF. I can't figure out whats most awesome about this - the fact he is 86 and clearly doesnt give a fuck, the fact that the NFL fined him 250k for it, or the fact that this isn't his first obscene gesture. When Adams and the Titans won the AFC championship in 2000 he was asked what he would do if he won a superbowl with the team he moved from Texas to Tenn. According to NBCSports.com, Adams held up a single digit on his right hand and said, "I'll put it on the middle finger and say to the mayor of Houston to take a look at it." After the awesome game this Monday vs Texas, Tenn is my new team to root for.
Theismann, McCallum, and now Wood
The injury so gruesome CBS refused to replay it. Bills rookie guard Eric Wood took a hit to the side of his shin and, well, the rest is history. Compound tibia and fibula. Makes me squirm. Check it out.
Hester Gets Pants'd
As if the current level of Bears play isnt embarrassing enough, Hester (understandably) dropped a Cutler pass and was tackled - by his jock strap. Not to be one-upped, Cutler threw an interception on the potential game winning drive and got an awkward post-game advice session from D-Nabb. Which is more embarrassing? You can decide.
NFL Week 12 - Thanksgiving-a-palooza
While most of us are in a self-induced food coma, football will be happening. While I'm still a little sore - literally and figuratively - from the broncos recent performances, I think they have a good line this week. Currently, they are +7 at home against the Giants. Yes, the Broncos are all over the board, and I don't necessarily think they will win, but the second the line moved from 6.5 to 7, I was all over it. I'll go out on a limb here and say 75% of the time the broncos lose by a TD or less this week. It's not going to be half my bankroll, but its a bet. Now I just have to find somewhere to watch the game, fucking NFL network.
Obviously, the game of the week is Patriots @ Saints. I've got news for the patriot nation, the Pats are the 4th best team in the country. Saint #1, Colts #2, Vikings #3. Deal with it. Because of this, I think the line is a little inflated for the Pats - they are a 3pt underdog. The Patriots D will not be able to handle the multi-threat offense, and although it will be a slugfest the Saints will win by at least 7. Brees will out throw Brady by 15 yds. Final score - New England 21, Saints 31.
