Week 8 wrapup
NY Giants 36-0 Wash/NYG under 42.5 +$50.00
Cincinnati 21-14 Green Bay +9.5 +$100.00; over 46 -$50.50
Considering Favre threw 5 INTs, I'll take this lucky cover. On the flip side, the Packer D actually showed up for once.
Chicago 19-13 Chi/Det over 32.5 -$49.50
I take responsibility for not paying the premium of an extra half-point.
Carolina 38-13 Minn/Car under 45 -$53.50
In this one I did buy the half-point to 45 but the Panthers couldn't stop a meaningless late TD on 4th and Goal at 38-7. The score was 10-0 midway through the 2nd quarter (ouch).
Oakland 34-25 Tennessee to win -$46.73
I've lost every time I've bet for or against the Titans in 2005. I nearly played 1 unit on the over but the system didn't like the high total. Ironically, the halftime score matched the total, 24-22.
Houston 19-16 Cle/Hou over 37 -$50.00
Saint Louis 24-21 Saint Louis to win +$50.00
San Francisco 15-10 San Francisco +10.5 +$150.00; San Fran to win +$250.00; over 37 -$48.59
With the exception of one play, the San Fran D looked like a reincarnation of the 1985 Bears.
New England 21-16 Buffalo +9.5 +$50.00; under 44 +$50.00
Pittsburgh 20-19 Baltimore +11 +$100.00; Baltimore to win -$8.68
Teaser
Tennessee +8/Saint Louis +9 -$50.00
Weekly Total: +8.85 units among 23.15 units transacted.
Season Total: -10.22 units among 140.22 units transacted.
Favorites are still a strong 61-51-3 to date. Expect significant overvaluation of perceived great teams and commensurate undervaluation of their perceived weak counterparts over the next 9 weeks.
