Nice Day for an Orange Wedding

My super-duper tease experiment appears to have gone down in flames. Hitting the box appears to be harder than I thought. I think I only lost the vigs on Notre Dame-Pitt, as ND and the under and Pitt and the under both came through. A couple more points and I would have had the overs come in as well. 'Bama and the under was the only tease that came through in the other late game, as Mississippi State didn't manage to score much.

I took denver(-4)over WASHINGTON. Oops. Kyle Orton came out of this game with an injury. Maybe if he didn't the Broncos would have covered, instead of losing 27-17. Maybe not. I took cincinnati(+7)over PITTSBURGH. No offensive touchdowns came in this game, and the Bengals rode a kick return and four field goals to an 18-12 victory. Just when you thought the Steelers might live up to their overratedness, they don't. The Bengals are for real, folks, and now they have the inside track to winning the AFC North.

Need proof that the schedule-makers didn't take Cincy seriously? It's week 10 and they've already played the Steelers twice and the Ravens twice. If they were expected to be competitive they would have played one each of these games during the final 4 or 5 weeks of the season.

My gambling weekend winds up with baltimore(-11)over CLEVELAND. Not only do I need Baltimore to win convincingly, I also need Joe Flacco and Ray Rice to score at least 37 fantasy points...so far. Hopefully Reggie Wayne doesn't torch New England too much more in the 2nd half of the Sunday night game. ESPN projects them to get a combined 51, but their estimates are usually inflated.
