The last week has been awful for me in terms of sports betting.  Everything that seems to make sense just doesn’t work out.  And to top all that off, the Colts and the Falcons gave me a beating yesterday!  Matt Ryan went into the locker room at half time and came out as Ken Dorsey.  Both the Colts and the Falcons just decided to stop playing in the second half.

But today is a brand new day!  Eagles, check!  Ravens, check!  It was beautiful.  Ed Reed is absolutely amazing.  I don’t know if anyone else noticed, but on the second interception, he was about 10 yards away from the ball when Chad Pennington threw it.  I still have no idea how he got to the ball so fast.

Anyway, great day, great football.

I hate the NFL overtime system.  There’s just way too much luck involved.  Historically, the team that won the coin flip wins over 60% of the time.  That’s lame!

Darren Sproles has been amazing by the way.  That little guy can freaking run and break tackles!

Brian is watching the Colts game!

Ouch. That just sounds painful! I am leaning towards the Colts taking this game now. Tomlinson is officially listed as a game time decision, but even if he plays, I doubt that he’s going to be very effective. Any guy should know - any pain that’s groin related just hurts like hell.

I also just found out that there’s no one listed on the Colts’ injury list.  That almost seems impossible, given that they just played through 17 weeks.  I can already see Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis going nuts.

I was undecided at first, but now I am pretty much sold on the Colts for today.  Sorry Mr. LaDainian Tomlinson and the Chargers, I think you are going to have a rough night.

Wow!  I just checked the lines for the NFL games for this weekend, and ALL the home teams are home underdogs.  Amazing.  But then on second look, none of the home teams look that good.  Cardinals?  Dolphins?  Chargers? Vikings?  Not sold on any of them.

• I really don’t think the Cardinals would even make it out of the NFC West had Mike Singletary been the 49ers head coach all season.  Plus, they haven’t been playing very well.

• The Dolphins can’t stand up to the mighty Ravens defense.  The TWICE comeback player of the year, Chad Pennington, can only go so far.  Seriously, how does someone win comeback player of the year twice?  You come back once, leave, and come back again?

• The Chargers offense is good, but Indy is experienced and ex-Superbowl Champs. This year’s LT is not the same LT.  I should know… he was on my fantasy team!

• The Eagles are red hot.  The Vikings are not.  And Pat Williams has a broken bone in his right shoulder.  And the Vikings can’t even sell out their first home playoff game in the last 8 years.  And the Vikings haven’t even been to the playoffs since 2004.

Hmm… betting on 4 road teams might be kind of crazy though.  I gotta be missing something here.
