Well, all that hard work disappeared in a matter of weeks.
The Slickster is back to the .500 mark after Thursday's losing wager. A slump of 10-losses in the last 13-selections has erased the winnings and probably left the loyalists on the negative side if your bookmaker collects "juice."
Can our fearless football forecaster do a 180 and go back to handing out winners? You decide. On with this week's Slick's Picks:
Baltimore (+6 1/2) over NY Giants
Green Bay (-3 1/2) over Chicago
Pittsburgh (-4 1/2) over San Diego
Dallas (-1 1/2) over Washington
Buffalo (-5) over Cleveland
Last week: 2-4
Thursday night: 0-1
Season record: 26-26
I know you're not gonna post this so it's just for you. Give www.nflcapping.com a look & help yourself and your loyals, they've been having a good run for the last month or so.
You win some, you lose some!
FWIW, I had Cleveland winning outright in Buffalo last night. Even with a complete cupcake schedule I can't see that team finishing any better than .500.
However for the week I think my record in games vs the spread was pretty close to .500 too. Who'd have thought the Giants would rip up the Ravens' defense the way they did on such a windy day? I also didn't see GB's destruction of the Bears coming either.
