Wholly cow the Broncos beat the Steelers. What in the world was that?! Well, it was the only game I lost for the weekend at least. I’m fairly sure the Broncos won’t do that next week-end in New England. But those picks are still to come.

I’m late posting. Thanks to the really seriously tight race for mediocrity in the AFC West, I discovered a bug in my spreadsheets that handle tie breakers. Apparently the Devil IS in the details, because my spreadsheet told me Tebow ain’t going to the playoffs.
Getting that bug fixed didn’t help me or Tebow. Yeah he’s going to the playoffs, one game, then home. And I flagged one good bet. Thanks for nothing Brees, why couldn’t you just be happy with a 20 point win? So much for the under bet.

As I indicated, there was one good bet, that the NO game would go under. And thanks to 20-20 hindsight, you can see that I blew it.

Sean Payton is my new favorite coach in the NFL. He’s the first one that has figured out that you don’t have to burn the clock if you just keep on scoring. Someone email this to John Fox.
