Wk 3 /// 7-4-2 +298
Wk 4 /// 3-7-1 -414 (It's a very humbling game we play)
Wk 5 /// 4-8 -442 (two consecutive ugly weeks)
Wk 6 /// 4-7 -337 (still in the plus for the year but now three consecutive losing weeks. Need a turnaround this week)

Wk 9 /// 5-5 -14 (kissing my sister)
Wk 10 /// 10-6 +406 (totals did me good)
Wk 11 /// 5-7 -224 (three half point losses! Ugh)

Wk 17 /// 9-2 +684 (Needed that to get back in the plus money for the year).
Wk 18 /// 3-6 -318 (Ugh. Just barely stayed in the plus column for the regular season)

Regular season cumulative record: 106-101 +183 (Wanted to do better. But I guess I have to be happy to finish on the plus side for the regular season,

Good luck Jim! Let the playoffs roll!

Strange fact for you Jim, when the temp is less than 5F home teams are 1-5 ats and 0-6 o/u

Thanks, Brian. You too, bud.

Funny thing, Tom, and you should know this better than anyone. When the temperature drops below zero the bones freeze, the mind freezes, and hitting anything just isn't something you want to do. Some bodies and minds adapt better than others. I'm useless in such temperatures. The way I see it is that the temperature is an equalizer today. Neither team will function properly in those temperatures. Glad to know what you posted. I believe it.

Guys, I know it's halftime of the GBy / Dal game but I am copying this here because I was supposed to do it this afternoon and just forgot. I need to keep my records at both sites I post at consistent. Not gonna keep two records. So.... copy and paste like I always do:

That Clev D sure was "trash on the road" exp. And Miami had all the excuses they wanted (on the road; too cold) and they took advantage of them. Beach pussies! Needless to say I was wrong as wrong to be yesterday. Moving on.

Green Bay +7 -105 (@ Dal)
Dallas is great at home vs shit teams but has shown they can be challenged by anybody any good. That would include this Green Bay team who played Dallas to OT last year. I don't see why we don't get the same kind of game here. We saw CJ Stroud do the same thing in yesterday's playoff game as he has done aoll season. We've got another young QB here in Jordan Love. JL only threw 1 int in his last eight games against 16 TDs. That Dallas D can be had and I think JL will take advantage.

GBy / Dallas Over 51' -108

Monday:

Pit +10 -110 (@ Buff)
TBy +3 -112 (vs Philly)

Looking squarely at one statistic to make these selections. Turnover differential

Pit +11
Buff +2

Philly -10
TBy +8

Big difference in both games and both of the teams who are superior in the turnover department are dogs. Easy.!
