NFL Week 13: Walt Anderson



This is for all you Ravens fans out there...I can never manage to get your games right, usually because emotion gets in the way. There is no logical reason you should be 7-4....but you are. You are doing it with smoke and mirrors, and I never learn.

Today's ref is Walt Anderson, a nice enough guy it seems who has lucky enough to apparently be the head ref for Super Bowl XXXV. I wouldn't know - I was watching 4 hours of South African PGA golf during that so-called Super Bowl.

And yes, I am going against the Ravens again this week on principle.

NYG 27, Was 17. I just don't trust the Skins at all. RRD, or others - you feel good about this team? Are they going to make the playoffs?

TB 24, NO 20. New Orleans can't play on the road (and Kansas City doesn't count).
Mia 23, StL 10. Go against the Rams until further notice.

Car 20, GB 13. Talk about a smoke and mirrors team - how about Green Bay?
Ind 47, Cle 3. How in the hell are the Browns only an underdog by 4 1/2 points???? I don't bet Browns games...but something is wrong here. The Colts should be favored by 8 or 9.

Bal 20, Cin 16. Don't ask me how the Bengals will score - I don't know. They haven't given up on the season just yet (unlike a certain other team that also is on I-71).

Buf 31, SF 21. If the Bills can't win this one, they won't be able to blame Phil Dawson for missing the playoffs.

SD 30, Atl 27, OT. Just when you think the Chargers are done....

Oak 20, KC 16. Can the Raiders get to 2nd in the AFC West?

Pit 26, NE 20. You know, Pit still needs these games......

NYJ 28, Den 24. A letdown game for the Jets.

Min 24, Chi 13. I can't believe Gus Frerotte is going to win this division. Wow.

Hou 27, Jax 17. The Jaguars have packed it in. The Texans get another gift 2 weeks in a row.

Best bets: 14 picks this week. Last week: 9-5-1; overall: 102-76-4.

NYG -3.5
Mia -7.5
Mia/Stl Under 44
Car +3
Car/GB under 42
Cin +7
Buf -6.5
SF/Buf over 42.5
Atl/SD over 48.5
Pit +1
Pit/NE over 39.5
Den +8
Min -3
Hou -3

Smoke & mirrors? If by smoke, you mean one of the best defenses in the league, and by mirrors you mean a new high powered offense lead by Joe "The Fighting Blue Hen" Flacco, then smoke & mirrors might be accurate. Otherwise, you're right, it's personal bias. We're rolling people and it's about time you recognize.
