Aint likely, but...
It's almost game time. 11 is probably too high a number, with the Saints on the road with no running game to speak of, and what not. Outdoors in the cold with one of the NFL's loudest crowds. On the other hand, we're talking about a 12-4 team vs. a 7-9 team, and I really want to root for a ritual slaughter.
That's why I teased this one down to neworleans(-4)over SEATTLE, UNDER 53. That's why I am now confident that the Saints will win by about 37-20, just so my teaser doesn't work out.
I'd already bet the rest of the games. I already took KANSAS CITY(+3)over baltimore, and now that the line has moved, I've got KANSAS CITY(+3.5)over baltimore as well. I don't feel good about it though. I keep hearing that Dwayne Bowe is banged up, and that half the team has the flu.
The only pick I really feel good about is green bay(+3)over PHILADELPHIA. I bet the Packers because I thought they had a good enough pass rush to give Michael Vick problems. Apparently Vick isn't completely healthy either, making this pick look even stronger.
Meanwhile, Seattle has jumped out to a 31-20 lead early in the third quarter. There's still alot of time left, but there is no way my bet can win--not with the under, or even the teased under.
Seattle kicked another FG--34-20. 5 minutes left in the third quarter. This upset in the making gives all the other dogs hope. The Chiefs because their fans are even louder, the Jets because the Saints and Colts are both teams that aren't nearly as good this year as last. Right now I feel like at least one more underdog is advancing. The sad part is that if that team is the Jets I could go 0-4 for the week.
During halftime NBC continued to hype the supposed Peyton Manning-Rex Ryan rivalry, interviewing Manning at halftime. When my wife asked me who they were talking about, I said,
"Rex Ryan."
"Who's he?"
"The guy with the foot fetish."
"Oh, okay."
Maybe this will be his legacy. Sort of like Bill Clinton's cigar. Or W's premature mission accomplishment. Or Barak's Indonesian birth certificate. Will a win over the Colts this weekend make him more famous than his wife's cute feet? How about a Super Bowl win?
The Saints have scored, and trail by only 7. They are in this game, even if winning by 11 is off the table.
