Pigskin Pick 'Em - Week 3

I've been doing the Pigskin Pick 'Em thing on espn.com for a while now, but for the first time, I decided to try picking against the spread, instead of just winners and losers. I had 9 wins in each of the first 2 weeks and went 12-4 this week.

This weeks misses were...

I took Tennessee and the points against the Jets. I just thought this might be the week the Titans put it together....wrong.

I took Kansas City +9.5 over the Eagles. Donovan who?

I took Houston -3 over Jacksonville. I am now convinced the Texans are the most over-hyped team of the '09 season.

I took Pittsburgh -4.5 over the Bengals. Not only do the Steelers not cover, but Cincinnati wins outright? C'mon, really?

This coming week could be a tough one, with some big spreads on the board. Here are my picks for week 4.

Chicago -10.5 over Detroit
Cincinnati -5.5 over Cleveland
Indianapolis -8.5 over Seattle
NY Giants -9.5 over Kansas City
Tampa Bay +7.5 over Washington
Jacksonville +2.5 over Tennessee
Houston -9.5 over Oakland
New England -2.5 over Baltimore
NY Jets +6.5 over New Orleans
Miami +1.5 over Buffalo
Dallas -3.5 over Denver
St Louis +10.5 over San Fransisco
San Diego +6.5 over Pittsburgh
Minnesota +3.5 over Green Bay

Long Time No Post

It's been quite some time since I last posted in this space, and a lot has happened since then. The Red Sox have not only extended their wild card lead to 8 games, but have made a push for the division. The Patriots are 1-1, and to be honest, have not looked good in either game. Me is worried a wee bit, but me thinks the ship will right itself before too long.

The Sox certainly seem to be peeking at the right time. The season began with a supposedly kick-ass rotation, then the rotation looked like crap, but is now looking like what this blogger expected at the start of the season. The addition of V-Mart seems to have solidified the lineup and A-Gon has returned to once again play a spectacular SS.....Oh, and he has been a surprise at the plate as well. Just 14 games to go, then it's playoff time.

Spent last week in the Bar Harbor, Maine area. It's quite beautiful up there this time of year. Still a lot of tourists up there, which surprised me a little bit, but we still had a good time.

While I have some political musings on my mind, I think I will keep them there for now. I kind of in a good mood and don't want to ruin it by venting them at this moment.
