We suffer some bad luck in week 7 to go 2-2 for a season total of 19-9 for a still outstanding 68%.

Sometimes you get lucky as heck and win games you should lose, and sometimes you get bad beats. Well, that is what happened last week to stop us from going 3-1 for the week.

We had Tampa Bay -10.5 over Seattle knowing the hook (the .5) could be a problem. We messed this one up. We should have advised you to buy the hook but we did not…out fault, you have our apologies.

Things were looking great until Seattle scored a totally meaningless (not to the guys that had the Bucs -10.5) touchdown to make the final score 20-10 and make us seriously ill. These things happen but it is always frustrating when it does.

This week we are going to lead our selections off with the Dallas Cowboys -1. The Cowboys and Jerry Jones need a win badly, if they don’t get it here their schedule only gets more brutal. So on with the picks.

As always do not bet money you cannot afford to lose. Winning at sports wagering is not a sprint, it is a marathon. Stay patient and stay calm and ALWAYS bet the same amount on each game…unless you have a chase plan in place.

Dallas -1 over Tampa Bay

The Cowboys are in trouble. Romo is out, their defense is playing bad, and Owens looks like he could explode, and not in the good way. Explode like his head blows up. The Cowboys need this game so bad, much more so than Tampa Bay. Dallas is at home and all they need to do is win the game for us to push or win the bet. We’ll take the desperate Cowboys to win by seven or more.

Carolina -3 over Arizona

The Cardinals are not much on the road but they can really score. That is the only danger in this game. If the Cardinals go on one of their scoring sprees they could be tough here, but we do not think they will. Carolina is an up and down team but being at home facing a team that does not travel well…we’ll take Carolina and think they’ll win by a TD or more.

San Diego -3 over New Orleans

Both of these teams are all over the place and we usually don’t like to bet games where both teams are so inconsistent. The Chargers are all over the place but should be able to score consistently against the Saints. The loss of Bush is big for the Saints, he causes defenses so many problems. We like San Diego by at least a TD.

San Francisco -5 over Seattle

Seattle is awful. San Francisco is not much better. But Seattle has already lost to the 49′ers and that was at home. The game is now in San Fran and the 49′ers have a new coach. We expect them to come out and play an inspired game. San Fran by 10 or more.

Denver Broncos are on a bye! Thank goodness.

Since Denver is on a bye we don’t have to try and predict anything with this sorry ass team. But we will take our shots anyway. It is time for Lil Mikey The Dictator to walk the plank. And if smart assed Jay Cutler doesn’t get his act together he can follow Lil Mikey.

Denver is a mess and it doesn’t look like it is going to get turned around any time soon. Maybe the bye week has come at the right time. Maybe someone will tell Big Armed Jay that he is not great yet. Either way, the rest of the season better get better or Lil Mikey needs to go.
