Making a mockery of timing

Yeah, so this is not a timely post.

Here were my picks made yesterday but never posted:
Cleveland (-3) over Houston
KC (+3) over Buffalo
Tennessee (-5.5) over Jets
New England (+1) over Miami
Dallas (-10) over San Francisco
Tampa Bay (-8.5) over Detroit
Baltimore (-1.5) over Philadelphia
Chicago (-8) over St. Louis
Minnesota (+2) over Jacksonville
Carolina (+1) over Atlanta (ASG in Hotlanta's favor)
Denver (-9) over Oakland
Washington (-3.5) over Seattle
Giants (-3) over Arizona
Indianapolis (+2.5) over San Diego (this one is for pride now)
Green Bay (+2.5) over New Orleans

So the Colts are playing the Chargers right now, and with my Thursday pick, I'm at
7-7.
Game I could not have predicted in a thousand years:
-Denver getting whipped by Oakland at home. Oakland is so bad that now when something is awful you might as well just say, 'it's Oakland,' and I don't care how old that joke is. This floored me, but Denver is sinking to new lows. Seriously is anyone going to win that division or is someone going to be declared, "not the worst."

Game I can't believe:
-Buffalo beating KC blew my mind. Buffalo looked so bad and KC has played spoiler so many times recently I thought that with 5 at home in Arrowhead that this was a lock. Instead the Bills blew them out of the water. Is Buffalo back in it? Not at all. But that would have cost me some
bucks.
-Washington missing the spread by half a fucking point, but that's why Vegas gets paid. How did they not beat the spread against the lowly Seahawks?
And the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets beating the Titans? The Titans don't need wins in theory. The worst they can finish is 10-6, I just don't think I can take Jets fans and their Brett Favre Brett -Favre Brett Favre talk. I'm happy the Titans got knocked off, and I'm happy for Jets fans, but man their patter is abysmal. The Titans looked lackluster in what little I saw, and they did not deserve to win this game.

Game I was proud of calling:
-New England over Miami.

Weak spreads I could not believe:
- Minnesota a 2 point underdog to Jacksonville? those guys are bad.
- Baltimore only 1.5 over Philly? Did anyone watch Philly struggle against the Bengals?

Any Given Sunday:
Happened in Atlanta. They flat out flogged the Panthers. Should have seen that one coming. Never pick Carolina or Tampa, always pick based on the other team.

My boys:
The G-Men rocked. Gave up too many points on D, but Zona has emerged as a high power offense, and the Giants matched them blow for blow and then some. Proud of my boys.

Currently:
Watching Colts/Bolts. Anxiously awaiting a full on Phillip Rivers implosion. So happy the Giants traded him for Manning.
