Ah, that’s more like it. Normalcy. Last week I got 6 games and gambling has gone to the dogs. Carolina is still managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in the last two minutes of the game.
I think Carolina is made of anti-manning because they do the exact opposite of what the Manning boys do in the last two minutes. We’re probably all very lucky that they didn’t make too much contact when the Giants were in town. Had they canceled each other out, the explosion would have been enormous.
My take:

There aren’t any good bets this week.
Good news for Miami fans, you guys get to see the playoffs, where you will be ruthlessly crushed by Baltimore. Of course, I’m calling it and I have a rule about betting on the B teams: don’t. No matter what, even in if Miami only had 10 players left on the roster, if I bet on a B team to beat them the B team will manage somehow to lose the game.
And I have good news and bad news for Dallas. The good news: You will be undefeated in the playoffs. The bad news: It’s because you’re not going to the playoffs.
E.W.
I blame W for everything that went wrong last week.
