Maybe I wasn’t listening close enough but I didn’t hear a “thank you” for going a perfect 3-0 on my straight plays last weekas my three live underdogs – Dallas, Jacksonville and Oakland – didn’t just cover the spread, but each won their game outright!
As an added bonus, I listened to da’ Raiders beating the hated Ravens as I drove back from my “Fan of the Game” experience at FirstEnergy Stadium. That six-plus hour drive back to Washington, D.C., flew by.
As for my “teaser” selections (a parlay bet where you get to add six points to each team), Pittsburgh won in a walkover, but the J-E-T-S defense might be as good as we thought after beating favored Indianapolis, and the Titans comeback thankfully sputtered.
