Sunday
I appreciate my biggest play of the week going down in flames thanks to Andy “I should change my name to Mike” Reid wanting to throw the ball late when the Cowboys a) couldn’t stop the run, and b) almost certainly wouldn’t have scored again when their offense has done very little all game, except for two long passes.
Anyway it’s a new week, and nothing stood out short of one game which may be the biggest non-Colts rout of the year. I only didn’t make it a monstrous play because my desire to lay 9.5 points on a big bet in the NFL is about as strong as my desire to see “Fever Pitch.”

Sunday 11/20
5* Chargers -9.5 vs. Bills
Great situation here, as the Chargers, who are point spread darlings, get to face a Bills team that is clueless away from home, with their average road game this season seeing the Bills be outscored by 13 points. Their last trip to the West Coast was a 38-17 loss to the sorry Raiders.
The Bills cannot stop the run, ranking 31st in the league in that area. Enter the best player in the NFL, LaDainian Tomlinson, who had another 4 TDs in his last game. The Chargers went through a brutal stretch the first half of the season, including their well-documented stretch of playing four teams coming off their bye week. Now, they are off their bye week, and ready to pounce on a Bills team that is not in the same class.
Chargers 41, Bills 20
2* Titans +4.5 (waiting, will update line when I play it) vs. Jaguars
2* Falcons -6 vs. Buccaneers
2* Bengals +4.5 (waiting, will update line when I play it) vs. Colts
2* Texans +7 (waiting, will update line when I play it) vs. Chiefs
NFL Totals (22-13-1, +19.60*)
3* Saints @ Patriots Over 45.5
2* Seattle @ San Francisco Under 43
2* Eagles @ Giants Over 43
EDIT: Here is what I ended up taking on the games I had been waiting to post:
2* Bengals +6 -115
1* Titans +4 -105 - Got some bad information that this line would go up. Even though I disagreed, I chose to wait like an idiot, and thus am making the play only a 1*.
3* Texans +7 -105
