NFL Weekend Review
First I'll start off with what went wrong for me. Why did I think Indy would beat New England? The Patriots are a machine, it doesn't matter who is hurt or who their opponent is. I'm going to have to roll with the Patriots until somebody takes them out, because at this point I just can't see betting against them. I'm guessing that most people had Pittsburgh as a loser with that 8.5 point line. To think that they were two Doug Brien field goal attempts away from sitting at home right now. The second field goal that Brien missed was about as wide as I've ever seen a kick missed.

My two winners were Philly (-8) and Atlanta (-7). I figured that the Falcons would dominate the Rams, but nothing like that. I expected Philly to get off to a slow start due to shaking off some rust but the Eagles jumped all over the Vikings.

So I went 2-2 this week against the spread. That runs my post-season record to 5-3. Not bad, but I still would hope to be a little better. I'm hoping for a 8-3 finish, which would be nothing to be ashamed of.
