Finally! A very solid week. It's tough to get much better than this. 15-1 picking games - only missed the Tampa Bay vs. Houston game, where I picked the favorite, and they were upset. So even Vegas was on my side! Even missing that game, I still took a major chunk out of my negative overall total, finishing ahead by almost $175. Not too bad!

I went 4-0 on "Lock Solid" picks too - it's been a while since I've done that as well. That brings me to 40-16 for the year. It also produced $13.34 in winnings. So now I'm down $30.36 overall.

I'm enjoying seeing how the stock market compares to betting. Up until recently, the stock market was killing betting, but recently, I've gotten better and the market has gotten worse. My market value would be at $6,201.17, which includes $140.00 in transaction fees. Betting would have returned $6,156.31. So the market is still better - but barely. Less than 1% difference between the two.

• Chicago 16, Washington 24 (-3) (37 O/U) [P: $6.25, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $25.34]
• St. Louis 10, Cincinnati 19 (-6.5) (47.5 O/U) [P: $3.64, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $22.73]

• Dallas 28 (-10.5), Detroit 27 (52 O/U) [P: $1.82, S: ($10.00), O/U: ($10.00), T: ($18.18)]: How many people thought this game would be this close? Or that it would be Dallas that would have to come back? The best part about the comments from Terrence Newman this week? So far this season, he hasn't blitzed. When did he think he was going to get a shot at Kitna?
• Oakland 7, Green Bay 38 (-10) (42 O/U) [P: $1.90, S: $10.00, O/U: ($10.00), T: $1.90]
• Carolina* 6, Jacksonville 37 (-10.5) (37.5 O/U) [P: $1.82, S: ($10.00), O/U: $9.09, T: $0.91]

• Pittsburgh* 13, New England 34 (-11.5) (51 O/U) [P: $1.60, S: ($10.00), O/U: $9.09, T: $0.69]: I'm a Pittsburgh fan in a way. Why would you want to give New England motivation?
• Tampa Bay 14 (-3), Houston 28 (40.5 O/U) [P: ($10.00), S: ($10.00), O/U: ($10.00), T: ($30.00)]

• Cleveland 24 (-3.5), New York Jets 18 (47.5 O/U) [P: $5.13, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $24.22]
• Indianapolis 44 (-9.5), Baltimore 20 (44 O/U) [P: $2.11, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $21.20]: This is the same Raven team that should have beat the Patriots, right? Are you sure?
• New Orleans 34, Atlanta 14 (-4) (43 O/U) [P: $4.76, S: $10.00, O/U: $9.09, T: $23.85]
