Well, so much for taking the home dogs today. Both home teams won yesterday, and one of them, San Diego, was a dog, even though Peyton Manning didn't get a chance to touch the ball in overtime because of the NFL's ludicrous sudden death rule.
So I figured why not take the home teams on Sunday. As the PhDs on Wall Street say, don't fight the tape. Who would have thought Chad Pennington, on a team that had only 13 turnovers all season, would throw four interceptions. The Dolphins would have been better off going to the wildcat on every play. As for Minnesota, not giving Adrian Peterson the ball at least 40 times a game is the heighth of stupidity.
Obviously, I'm smarter than any NFL coach. If Woody Johnson or some other owner would pay just a hundredth of what will be dished out to the next head man, I could guarantee a Super Bowl. In my first speech to the squad I would demand a daily regimen of steroid smoothies and holding on every snap. Any lineman caught on tape not holding would be traded to a rugby team.
Next weekend, I'm still in the doghouse. The Eagles (+4.5 right now) will cover against the home Giants (Westbrook will find many ways to score), as will the Chargers (+6) against the home Steelers (Sproles and the punter will be co-MVPs), the Ravens (+3) against the home Titans (Flacco is too cool for school) and the Cardinals (+10) against the home Panthers (I can't help it, I love Kurt Warner). OK, it's drawing to a straight flush, but that beats four aces.
I've got to get three out of four to make a profit. The visitors won Sunday didn't they? Don't fight the tape.
