Wingnuts On Parade

I missed on last week's teaser, which means I am now a whopping 0.3 units ahead for the year. Outstanding. Win or lose this week, I will find some interesting propositions for the Super Bowl.

Green Bay -3 at Chicago and under 43.5 total

Pittsburgh -3.5 vs. New York Jets

My 2-2 result last week leaves me ahead 1.3 units. Not much to choose from this week, so I'm taking a two-team, six-point parlay:

Green Bay +8.5 at Atlanta

AND

New England -2.5 vs. New York Jets

This bet pays even money, but it's the safest play available.

My 3-2 record last week now has me up 1.5 units for the season. Now we enter the playoffs, where there less to choose from between the teams. It will be really difficult to keep my head above water through the Super Bowl.

Indianapolis -1.5 vs. New York Jets

Baltimore -3 at Kansas City

Green Bay +3 at Philadelphia, and over 46 points total

Last week's Operation Blaze of Glory was a success. Although 15 of the 21 teasers lost, the six that won (paying 5-1) put me up 15 units for the week, enough to put me a whopping 0.7 units ahead for the season.

The timing was also propitious, as this week's spreads do not offer such a wild-eyed risk worth taking. It's back to the old-fashioned way, hoping I can hit at least three of my five picks. Here we go!

Houston -3 vs. Jacksonville

Pittsburgh -5 at Cleveland

Detroit -3 vs. Minnesota

Philadelphia -1 vs. Dallas

St. Louis -3 at Seattle
