That was a bad bet last night. We have said that there are good bets that go bad, which is true, but that Sunday niter was just bad. Good game, though. Earlier, we had hoped to get down on New England, but serious technical difficulties with the GRIDLINE computer prevented us from doing so. Not getting down on a winner is like losing. Needless to say it was a bad day.

We were already behind in switching over to our scientific system and this moth pushed us back even more. Now, we'll aim for week 7. It will really be a disaster if our intuitive bets take a downturn, which could start tonite. It will be our first losing week this year if Pitt doesn't cover.

The Chargers have that good passing offense but they get sacked a lot. That might explain why Rivers is throwing INTs, a couple of which have been returned for TDs. The Chargers best unit on D is their secondary, but it may be wasted against the Steelers, who figure to run against a weak run D. That combination of pressure and rushing make us go for the Steelers. These guys have pushed us twice this year, but they covered the other two games so they haven't lost to the spread yet, even with Vick filling in for R'Berger.

Probably should pass on this one but it's a prime time game. Nothing solid here. The Niners haven't played well on the road this year. They can't run the ball, and when you talk passers you have to talk Eli before Kap. We probably deserve to lose this one. The home favorite, really?

Plays for Thursday nite

It was a pretty good bet Monday. We had a chance to lose to the spread, but only because of a couple of 50+ FGs. As we predicted, Carroll did not feel obligated to call Wilson's number. It looks like he only does that when he's behind. The Lions did a good job of applying pressure when they wanted to, and it paid off in the end.

As for the blown call that determined the winner, all we have to say is that the officials are a large part of the game. They are becoming much to large of a part under this administration. Is it really a smart thing to continually add rules when the officials haven't got the old ones down yet?
Colts +5

 The Texans are coming off a NO SHOW against the Falcons, and while nobody predicts a NO SHOW for Houston at home tonight, you have to wonder if this team is in more turmoil than even the Colts. If the Colts are gradually losing confidence in Pagano, the Texans haven't fully gained confidence in O'Brian. Both of these teams have scored anywhere from 0-35 points per game and allowed from 0-41 points. They are all over the place. They might as well be the same team, or at least listed as EVEN, or Houston -3 at home. They have the same QB questions with Mallet and Hasselback. If we had to bet, we'd guess that some strange things are going to happen tonight. Oh yeah, it's a Prime Time game, we do have to bet it, it's the only game in town. Give us the road dog.

As you can see, we still haven't projected a computer score this season. Some people have pointed that out to us. All we can say is that we are a little behind. We aren't exactly in a hurry to switch to our science-based system while we are ahead. Like most bettors, we don't want to do ANYTHING different while we are winning. This week's bets are all "compliments of the house" and it's still early in the season.

Good Luck Everyone!
