Default Week 2 wrapup

The chance of my playing either of the Monday night games is remote so I decided to post a weekly wrapup tonight:

Pittsburgh 27-7 Houston +6.5 -$49.41

Indianapolis 10-3 Jacksonville +8.5 +$50.00

Chicago 38-6 Chicago to win +$50.00

Philadelphia 42-3 San Francisco to win -$13.29; San Francisco +14 -$57.50.

If you have not wagered on large underdogs in the past, this is the sort of result you'll get once in a while. Remember, a spread loss of 25 has the same effect as a spread loss of 1 -- the only difference is the embarassment of talking about the former at work on Monday (or just avoid that conversation altogether). Then again, another perceived dreg of the league, the Bears, covered their line by a TD more than the Eagles did theirs. The NFL is strange like that.

Carolina 27-17 Carolina to win +$50.00

Seattle 21-18 Seattle -1.5 +$50.00

Saint Louis 17-12 Arizona to win -$55.50

NY Jets 17-7 Miami +6 -$51.50

Cleveland 26-24 Cleveland to win +$50.00; Cleveland +6.5 +$50.00

Denver 20-17 Denver -3 $0.00.

Denver should have won this one by two TDs or more -- a sometimes powerful, sometimes sloppy performance by an undervalued squad going into this week.

Kansas City 23-17 Oakland to win -$49.41

Weekly Total: +0.47 units on 11.53 units transacted.

Season Total: -0.10 units on 18.10 units transacted.
