PrintYour humble narrator is having an awfully good stretch of luck with his NFL picks. Amongst my blogging peers in the "Blogger Deathsport", I am in an astouding 2nd place overall. Considering how little I understand of NFL betting (spread, points, etc), this is proof that dumb luck is better than smarts.
Here are my picks, highlighted in bold for extra emphasis. This post is also our early games open thread, as our Jaguars have an awfully long time before their game. Remember to root for the Houston Texans to beat the Indianapolis Colts. Also, rooting for Baltimore to beat the Titans would be nice as well, but not as effective for helping the Jaguars.
BUF @ ARZ (-1)
KC @ CAR (-9.5)
CHI (-3.5) @ DET
CIN @ DAL (off the board = straight up even)
TB @ DEN (-3)
ATL @ GB (off the board = straight up even)
IND (-3) @ HOU
PIT @ JAX (-4)
NE (-3) @ SF
SEA @ NYG (-7)
WAS @ PHI (-5.5)
SD (-6.5) @ MIA
TEN (-3) @ BAL
Monday
MIN @ NO (-3)
Score: 21-17, Vikings.

Just wondering....
why it would not be as effective for helping the Jaguars if Tennessee lost as opposed to Indy losing to the Texans? Are you talking in terms of making the wild card? It seems to me the goal would be winning the division, and if the Titans lose, we are only a win at home against the Titans away from being tied for the division lead. Also we have already beaten Indy on the road, so we have an edge on them already. Let me know what I’m missing.
It's only 50% rational
I want Indianapolis to lose because I’d like them to be thrown an anvil rather than allow them to come up out of their current situation.
Tennessee losing would be good as well, both from an “I loathe the Titans” perspective and in the overall picture.
Go Ravens and Go Texans, that’s all we need to know.

Good news then,
Indi is going into the half down by 7.

Looking good
.. for the Texans so far. Hard to loose from here, you would think. 10 points up, roughly 4 minutes left… and you should have the ball now too.
yeah,
as good as y’all played us…. I think you can relax and enjoy this one.

Sorry, man
I thought you guys had this one. Apart from the last 4 minutes, you out-played the Colts.
Sick....
That was all Sage on that loss. Up by three possessions with 4 minutes to go and he puts himself in a position to fumble, not once, but twice!??! Trying to jump defenders to extend the play? Come on! Give Manning the ball and eat the clock when you get it back…
I’m not a Houston fan, but I dislike the Colts enough to always root against them.
I can’t believe Miami looked that good. My dad will be gloating tomorrow. I bet him $5 the Fins wouldn’t get 6 wins before preseason. If they keep playing that way, I’m out $5! Good for them though.
how funny...
I bet a guy at work $10 that they would get at least 6 wins. And he IS a Dolphins fan and I’ m not.

That IS funny
I may lose $10 in reality, because the other half of that bet I made was $5 that the Jags would double the Fins regular season record. He begrudgingly made both bets as I confidently berated his team. Now he’s the one laughing.
