OK, so yesterday and last night we’re extremely screwy. I’m very late here, but getting the picks in just before the games start:

$150 on Patriots (-3.5) over 49ERS

Yeah, sure, it’s Matt Cassel. But I can’t see how almost any team outside the AFC North should be less than a 6 point favorite over the 49ers. We’re deailng with an extremely well coached team here going in against, well, the 49ers.

$150 on CARDINALS (-1) over Bills

I’m violating one of the principal rules of betting here - ‘never bet on any game the Cardinals are involved in under any circumstances’. It’s time for the Bills to lose.

$150 on JAGUARS (-4.5) over Steelers

I’d bet more on it, but the truth is I’m never comfortable making a large bet against the Roethlisteelers. I can’t wait for Roethlisberger to hit IR; it’ll take the bettors about two weeks to catch up to the fact that the Steelers will then be right there with the Lions and Rams among the worst teams in the league, and I plan to make a killing loading up against them.

$100 on Colts (-3.5) over TEXANS

The Texans have no pass rush whatsoever other than Mario Williams. Peyton that gets to stand in the pocket and scan the field = happy Peyton.

$500 on OPEN DATE (-10) over Rams

It would be more, but sadly, that’s all the money I have left to invest.
