Finally, a decent week! 12-4 is by far my best week so far this season. Interestingly, the first time I got 12 of 16 right last season was also week 12 (but this dismisses the fact that I went 12 of 14 earlier last year). Maybe this season is going to turn around!

Then again maybe not. My "Lock Solid" picks again went 3-1, but lost $3.32. That makes me 33-15, but down $41.87.

With the recent down turn in the market and a decent week betting, this is the week that I'd be better off betting than investing in the S&P 500. In betting, I'd be at $5,038.24. If I'd taken that same amount and put in the index fund, I'd be at $4,914.57 - a difference of $123.67. Even taking into account that I've subtracted $10 per transaction in the index fund, I'd still be down $3.67.

Anyway, onto the results.

• Green Bay 37 (-3), Detroit 26 (47 O/U) [P: $5.26, S: $10.00, O/U: ($10.00), T: $5.26]: These games are the hardest. Brett Favre is my starting quarterback in my fantasy league, but I wanted the Lions to win. I was torn watching Favre's three TDs.
• New York Jets* 3, Dallas 34 (-14) (47.5 O/U) [P: $1.11, S: ($10.00), O/U: ($10.00), T: ($18.89)]
• Indianapolis 31, Atlanta 13 (-12) (41 O/U) [P: $1.60, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $20.69]:  If a football game happens and no one sees it, does it still count in the standings?
• Denver 34, Chicago 37 (-2) (41 O/U) [P: $7.69, S: $10.00, O/U: ($10.00), T: $7.69]: This was a thriller. I thought it was pretty much over, but Berian made a great catch to tie the game up. Once again, you have to ask why on earth you would kick to Hester.
• Buffalo 14, Jacksonville 36 (-7.5) (35.5 O/U) [P: $2.86, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $21.95]
• New Orleans 31 (-3), Carolina 6 (41 O/U) [P: $7.14, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $26.23]
• Oakland 20, Kansas City 17 (-5.5) (34.5 O/U) [P: ($10.00), S: ($10.00), O/U: $9.09, T: ($10.91)]
• Minnesota 41, New York Giants 17 (-7) (40.5 O/U) [P: ($10.00), S: ($10.00), O/U: ($10.00), T: ($30.00)]
• Houston 17, Cleveland 27 (-3) (51 O/U) [P: $5.56, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $24.65]
• Seattle 24 (-3), St. Louis 19 (44.5 O/U) [P: $6.25, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $25.34]
• Tennessee 6 (-2), Cincinnati 35 (47 O/U) [P: $11.00, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $30.09]
• Washington 13, Tampa Bay 19 (-3) (38 O/U) [P: ($10.00), S: ($10.00), O/U: ($10.00), T: ($30.00)]
• San Francisco* 37, Arizona 31 (-10.5) (37.5 O/U) [P: ($10.00), S: $10.00, O/U: ($10.00), T: ($10.00)]
• Baltimore 14, San Diego 32 (-9) (38.5 O/U) [P: $2.22, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $21.31]
• Philadelphia* 28, New England 31 (-22) (50.5 O/U) [P: $0.45, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $19.55]: Who thought Philly would actually give the Patriots a run for their money? Too bad they came up short. I think New England needs a loss to get them ready for the playoffs.
• Miami* 0, Pittsburgh 3 (-16) (41 O/U) [P: $0.80, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $19.89]: Did you see the punt that hit and stuck in the mud? That pretty much sums up the game, doesn't it?
