I reap what Bill Belichek sows....
Damn. It's less than an hour from gametime, and they've finally posted a Chargers at Denver line. Bodog has San Diego by 7. I've been waiting for the smoke to clear on this one all week, but 7 is too much, not so much because the line opened at 4, as because there are still lines out there as low as 5 and 5.5. The cowards at bodog have posted the worst spread on the board, if you want to take the Chargers.
I stuck to my vow to avoid Eagles games the rest of the year, as the Chargers burned Philly last week. Can you tell that this is still weighing on me?
Meanwhile, those cowards waited 'til somewhere between 11:00 Thursday night and 5:15 Friday morning. By about 5:20 I'd taken indianapolis(-1.5)over BALTIMORE. This line opened the week at Baltimore by one, and immediately moved to Indy by one. Yesterday the line was two, and now it's 2.5 on bodog. Elsewhere it still ranges from Indy by two to a pick. I watched the Ravens struggle to a scoreless first half tie against the mighty Browns last week. If they don't pick it up, they will be down about 21-3 at halftime this week. Am I bitter that Joe Flacco got me only seven fantasy points last week? Probably. According to covers.com, 72.52% of bettors are taking the Colts. I believe the other 27.48% didn't watch the Sunday and Monday night games last week.
Speaking of bitter, not only did Bill Belichek blow that Sunday night game with his genius 4th and 2 call, striking one more blow against my "Pats 4-1 to win the Super Bowl" preseason bet, he let Reggie Wayne get one more TD, effectively putting the 3rd nail in my week 10 Fantasy coffin. Of course, Joe Flacco drove in the final nail Monday night. Enjoy week 11 on my bench, Joe.
Maybe I shouldn't trust Belichek and take NEW ENGLAND(-11)over new york jets this week. But I am. The Pats go into F-U mode, Bill runs up the score, and Rex Ryan does his best not to eye the Krispy Kreame box some rogue reporter places in his field of vision during the post game press conference. I don't know if the fact that I took the Jets and the points in week 2 should convince you to listen to me or not, but I did. I am dialed in on these divisional matchups, by God. Other than the Giants at Eagles a few weeks ago, that is.
Speaking of which, that is why you should take washington(+11)over DALLAS. Too bad I'm reacting to my loss last week, as an Ortonless Bronco team got thumped by the 'Skins, and backup RB Ladell Betts.
Meanwhile, I will enjoy the Eagles at Chicago game tonight, with no $$ on the game, and with Jay Cutler on my Fantasy bench. After some fantasy football drunk dialing, I picked up Kurt Warner off the waiver wire. Without getting into the details, don't count your chickens until you get them off the waiver wire and onto your bench. They amy not be roosters but I like the Cardnails this week. I started off the week with them on my schizo list, but I've replaced them with Philly, the Giants, and some others. arizona(-9)over ST LOUIS. After expecting Warner to get injured all year, my fantasy fate is in the old man's hands. Could be worse. In fact, it has been worse, for the last 10 weeks for the roQQboTTom fEEders, at least. Apparently our trade deadline is next Wednesday, giving me just enough time to try to get Tom Brady after I knock his team out of the playoff race today, knock on wood.
My only college pick this week was lsu(+4)over OLE MISS. The game came out the way I wanted, as I've been pulling for the Rebels all year, and really wanted them to win but not cover. Was this a bigger win than beating Texas Tech in the Sugar Bowl last year? I think it may be, and I think alot of SEC supporters will agree with me, if only because they completely dismiss all non-SEC teams as inferior and irrelevant.
The Colts-Ravens game just started. Hopefully I ahven't overlooked any fantasy subtleties, as this means my entire fantasy lineup has locked, aside from Kurt Warner and Calvin Pace. Unless I deal Pace for another DE, that means it's locked.
Indy just got Pierre Garcon a 70 or 80 yard pass, down to the Ravens 5. Dallas Clark just scored. Ugh. Last week Reggie Wayne killed me, and this week it will be Dallas Clark. Fuck.
