07-08 NFL Week 13 Pick Results

posted on 12/04/07 at 06:37:39 pm by Joel Ross

It had to be tough for teams to take the field after a week where one of their own was shot and killed. The tributes to Sean Taylor were touching and emotional. It's too bad the media treated his shooting and death the way they did. Anyway, that's a little too heavy for this site...

"Lock Solid" review time. This seems to be the norm, but I went 3-1 and lost money - but only $1.83 this time. That makes me 36-16, but down $43.70. That's over a whole week behind.

As for my little experiment of betting versus the stock market, this week my portfolio would be worth $5,553.57. From betting, it would be $5,501.83 - meaning the market is better by $51.74. Of course, the original "investment" amount is $5,760, so both are losing overall.

  • Green Bay 27, Dallas 37 (-7) (51.5 O/U) [P: $3.45, S: $10.00, O/U: ($10.00), T: $3.45]: The best game no one saw. Or is it the best game that didn't actually happen? With Favre going out early, it seemed to be pretty much settled that Dallas would win - which they did. Good news for Packers fans though - Favre will be back next week, and Aaron Rodgers looks like a solid replacement once Favre hangs it up. As for the coverage, I watched some of it online, and if it was any indication of the network coverage, I'm not going to be pushing to get it anytime soon, and at least one person who did see it agrees.
  • Detroit 10, Minnesota 42 (-3) (45 O/U) [P: ($10.00), S: ($10.00), O/U: ($10.00), T: ($30.00)]
  • San Francisco 14, Carolina 31 (-3) (35 O/U) [P: $6.90, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $25.99]
  • Buffalo 17, Washington 16 (-5.5) (37 O/U) [P: ($10.00), S: ($10.00), O/U: ($10.00), T: ($30.00)]: That was a nice gesture from Washington to come out with only 10 players. Too bad Buffalo didn't know, and ran for 25 yards.
  • Houston 20, Tennessee 28 (-4) (42.5 O/U) [P: $5.13, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $24.22]
  • Jacksonville* 25, Indianapolis 28 (-8) (45 O/U) [P: $3.23, S: $10.00, O/U: ($10.00), T: $3.23]: Another great game for the weekend. Indy could be a dangerous and hard to predict team if they get Harrison back in time for the playoffs (and he's in game shape). Their biggest problem is that Freeney is out for the year.
  • Seattle 28, Philadelphia 24 (-3) (42 O/U) [P: ($10.00), S: ($10.00), O/U: $9.09, T: ($10.91)]
  • San Diego 24 (-4), Kansas City 10 (37.5 O/U) [P: $4.44, S: $10.00, O/U: ($10.00), T: $4.44]
  • Tampa Bay 27, New Orleans 23 (-2.5) (41.5 O/U) [P: ($10.00), S: ($10.00), O/U: ($10.00), T: ($30.00)]
  • New York Jets 40, Miami 13 (0) (38 O/U) [P: $9.09, S: $10.00, O/U: ($10.00), T: $9.09]: It's not looking good for Miami to find a win this year. This was their best shot, and they lost by 27!
  • Atlanta 16, St. Louis 28 (-3.5) (42 O/U) [P: $5.00, S: $10.00, O/U: ($10.00), T: $5.00]
  • Cleveland 21, Arizona 27 (-1) (51.5 O/U) [P: ($10.00), S: ($10.00), O/U: $9.09, T: ($10.91)]
  • Denver 20 (-3), Oakland 34 (42 O/U) [P: ($10.00), S: ($10.00), O/U: $9.09, T: ($10.91)]
  • New York Giants 21 (-1), Chicago 16 (43 O/U) [P: ($10.00), S: ($10.00), O/U: $9.09, T: ($10.91)]
  • Cincinnati 10, Pittsburgh 24 (-8) (46 O/U) [P: $3.13, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $22.22]
  • New England 27 (-20.5), Baltimore* 24 (51.5 O/U) [P: $0.50, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $19.59]: How lucky can New England get? A timeout called by Baltimore cost them the game. But there was also a holding call in the end zone that kept a Patriot drive alive - giving them a first down which eventually allowed them to score and win the game.
