Week 17
KC +12 @ Denver
Got this in the second just after McDaniels benched Scheffler AND Marshall for a game (now @ +10), they need to win to have any sniff of the playoffs. How this team even made the 7 win under/over total a sweat after starting 6-0 makes me wanna puke. So does the idea of watching this game. “Denver is 2-7 in its past nine games! Kansas City is 9-38 over the past three seasons! Orton! Savage! It’s the NFL on CBS!”
Baltimore-10 @ Oakland
Win and in for the Ravens, AND if Oakland loses, I ship the 5.5 Season under bet. Imagine if shitty teams could rest their guys like the good teams do before the playoffs. The press conferences would be hysterical. Cable: “We are resting our guys for our 11 am tee time at Pebble Beach Monday. We are also going to not play JaMarcus because we fear the more he plays, the more confidence he loses.”
Colts @ Buffalo Under 33
Colts resting starters (and not for a bad reason like last week; you play to win the game, baby! This goes to show Bill Polian really runs the show in Indy), Buffalo sucks even in perfect conditions, AND it’s lake effect blizzard conditions in Buffalo for the entire game. I have been to one of these games in 2000 when the 4-11 Pats played the 8-7 Bills in Orchard Park under 2 feet of snow. The Pats won 6-3 in OT. I’ll take the under.

GB +9 @ Arizona
Carolina -1 vs NO
I hope everyone is having a good start to 2010. You know the alumni of South Florida and Northern Illnois who went to the International Bowl in Toronto did!
