gambling

While I was dead right about the Packers, my usually sound advice went for naught after that. Luckily for me, I woke up Sunday and had a feeling, parlayed the Chargers & Giants (getting the points) and threw an additional bet down on the Giants to win (+250). It was a good Sunday.

Round 2 - and all spreads are over a TD. That makes for some tough picking. They can't all cover ... or can they? Let's preview each game with my prediction of the final score. A common theme to remember though - the home teams were all better during the season, and had an extra week to rest and prepare. Here we go:

Seattle @ Green Bay (-8), Saturday, 4pm

Seattle covered. Jags won (as predicted - I said pick them to win, not to cover, and while they barely did, they still did, and I didn't get stuck with the push). G-men did cover - and won convincingly, which I didn't see coming, but figured within 3 they'd be. And the Chargers covered, also albeit barely (Vince Young playing being the bad QB on the road, you're welcome). So if you laid the SEA -3, JAX (-140), NYG +3, SD -10 parlay like I did, well, pat yourself on the back, like I am.

Oh boy - playoff time! Time to make money betting against bad QBs on the road. Let that be the cardinal law. Let's break down the 1st round match-ups:
