Bet on It

By Dalton Del Don

Last week was ugly, as I went 5-11, including losing my best bet (Houston) as well. I’m now 91-99-2 on the year, which is pretty frustrating. Let’s try to right the ship this week, as weather starts to have a much bigger affect on outcomes.

Steelers -10 at BROWNS

Saints -10.5 at FALCONS

Lions +13.5 at RAVENS

PACKERS -3 at Bears

SEAHAWKS +6 at Texans

BRONCOS +7 at Colts

DOLPHINS +2.5 at Jaguars

BILLS pick ’em at Chiefs

BENGALS +6.5 at Vikings

Panthers +13.5 at PATRIOTS

Jets -3.5 at BUCCANEERS

Rams +13 at TITANS

REDSKINS (Best Bet) -1 at Raiders

CHARGERS +3 at Cowboys

EAGLES +1 at Giants

Cardinals -3.5 at 49ers

Comments: There are five games this week featuring essentially equal teams (Mia/Jax, Buf/KC, Was/Oak, SD/Dal, Phi/NYG), and for some reason, I backed the road team on all of them. While the other four were my least confident picks of the week (and I feel like I’m mostly backing the sucker side), the Redskins are my best bet. It’s a good time to sell-high on Oakland and buy-low on Washington, who’s simply better. Besides, the Raiders only show up when facing the best teams in the league.

    So when are the annual “best of” lists going to begin? You know I’m ready to contribute on the vids front. [g]

    Funny you ask, as I’m working on it as we speak (well, it’s an ongoing process). Probably won’t be until early January (as usual). I have a bunch of movies I need to catch up on, although my TV list is overflowing. Got any album suggestions? That goes for everyone.

    Let me think about it, I have to admit I haven’t listened to as much new music in the past year as I would’ve liked. Two that do spring to mind were the new Flaming Lips (easily their best in about a decade) and the new Raekwon, which I think was probably the best Wu-Tang-release since Supreme Clientele.

    And also Dan Deacon’s ‘Bromst’. I doubt anyone here even knows about this guy, but he’s kind of a genius. His video for “Crystal Cat” from his last album is probably the best music video ever made. But you don’t have to take my word for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFlBJ1xZK10
