THAT MAKES ME HARD.
I also went 5 for 7 in my real money bets, with one of those losses being a parlay of the others. Damn close.
Let's recap.
I am 14-27 year to date, -$225. Who knows what Heat is because he doesn't keep track of his fucking results.
WASHINGTON +4 @ CLEVELAND
Meat's Bet: Washington +4, $25.
Heat's Bet: Kind of took Washington, but didn't clarify. Heat loves RGIII so who knows what he does here but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
What Happened: Kirk Cousins threw a pick, which is what I was worried about when I made the pick. From there on, he dominated the shit out of Cleveland's defense - which is all they have - and now the talk is "what kind of picks are Arizona going to give up for him?". The NFL media is the king of overreaction. Greased Pig Richardson ran for two short TDs and 28 yards on 11 carries, then complained that he didn't get the ball more in the second half. Maybe his offense wasn't on the fuckin' 2 yard line.
Meat's Total: 1-0, +$25
Heat's Total: 1-0, Heat doesn't put down $ totals. Dick.
NYG +1 @ ATLANTA
Meat's Bet: NYG +1, $50 sizzler
Heat's Bet: NYG +1
What Happened: God damn. New York was my sizzler pick and turns out to be basically my only misstep. But it was a large misstep. The New York Rihannas came into Atlanta and were absolutely savagely beaten. 34-0? Jeez. Atlanta with that big win over a legit team that had been so eluding them.
Meat's Total: 1-1, -$25
Heat's Total: 1-1
CINCINNATI @ PHILADELPHIA +4.5
Meat's Bet: Philadelph +4.5, $0
Heat's Bet: Cincinnati -4.5
What Happened: This had all the makings of one of those standard Bengal squeaker victories over a joke team early, the "we're 1 point away from a six-game winning streak give us our respect!" stuff of legend, and the Philly turned the ball over 4 times in 5 plays and that was that. One was a nice pick by Leon Hall. The other three were fumbles. Nice going, Philadelphia. After the first turnover (a pick-six) to put Cincinnati up by 4, the game was pretty much over. Because Philly wasn't going anywhere at that point. But they could have at least stuck around and covered!
Meat's Total: 1-2, -$25
Heat's Total: 2-1
GREEN BAY @ CHICAGO +3
Meat's Bet: GB -3, $50
Heat's Bet: Chicago +3
What Happened: The Bears do what they do best, and that's lose to Green Bay at every given opportunity. I almost made this my sizzler. Guess I should have. Stupid-ass play calls by the Packers made this one closer than it really was.
Meat's Total: 2-2, +$25
Heat's Total:2-2
TAMPA BAY +3.5 @ NEW ORLEANS
Meat's Bet: Tampa +3.5, $0
Heat's Bet: New Orleans -3.5
What Happened: Good New Orleans showed up for a week and slaughtered Tampa, which is in their patented December Buccaneer free-fall mode. I still don't think New Orleans is trustworthy, but you can probably make a killing better against Tampa next week.
Meat's Total: 2-3, +$25
Heat's Total: 3-2
MINNESOTA +2.5 @ ST. LOUIS
Meat's Bet: Minnesota +2.5, $25
Heat's Bet: Minnesota +2.5
What Happened: I thought this one might be easy money, and it was. Almost bet the over and I think Minnesota got it on their own. This was a beatdown....St. Louis may have San Francisco's number but they really aren't that good. Minnesota is outside of their awful over-drafted Sanchizian quarterback.
Meat's Total: 3-3, +$50
Heat's Total: 4-2
JACKSONVILLE +7 @ MIAMI
Meat's Bet: Jax +7, $25
Heat's Bet: Jax +7
What Happened: I don't know. This game was a standard Miami-Jacksonville 7-3 at half time. I considered the under but didn't pull the trigger...stupid of me. I guess Miami pulled away in the second half and won 24-3. Must have really been an exciting one.
Meat's Total: 3-4, +$25
Heat's Total: 4-3
DENVER @ BALTIMORE +3
Meat's Bet: Denver -3, $50
Heat's Bet: Denver -3
What Happened: Denver pummeled Baltimore and the sad-sack Flaccos. Flacco Flacco-ed a redzone pick-Flacco and then as he lay on the ground, Flacco-ing was born.
Meat's Total: 4-4. +$75
Heat's Total: 5-3
INDIANAPOLIS +8 @ HOUSTON
Meat's Bet: Houston -8, $25
Heat's Bet: Indy +8
What Happened: Houston slogged to a boring 26-13 victory, or something like that. Indianapolis had some chances to pull a backdoor cover but couldn't get it done. These teams seem to have always played games like this.
Meat's Total: 5-4, +$100
Heat's Total: 5-4
CAROLINA +3 @ SAN DIEGO
Meat's Bet: Carolina +3, $25
Heat's Bet: Carolina +3
What Happened: San Diego was a home favorite, and they are San Diego, so they lost. And they lost badly. They got fuckin' massacred. They were like Cherokee Indians out there.
Meat's Total: 6-4, +$125
Heat's Total: 6-4
SEATTLE @ BUFFALO +5.5
Meat's Bet: Seattle -5.5, $25
Heat's Bet: Seattle -5.5
What Happened: Seattle got another favorable matchup, and once again they took big-time advantage. You have to continue to bet Seattle against bad teams. Especially at home or in domes. They will slaughter the fuck out of them.
Meat's Total: 7-4, +$150
Heat's Total: 7-4
DETROIT @ ARIZONA +6.5
Meat's Bet: Detroit -6.5, $25
Heat's Bet: Arizona +6.5
What Happened: Detroit pulled off their Detroit-est game of the year and I think they should be embarrassed. I figured the Arizona bad juju would outweigh theirs. Nope. Detroit is officially completely fucked as a team. Heat continued to make money betting against all things Lion.
Meat's Total: 7-5, +$125
Heat's Total: 8-4
PITTSBURGH @ DALLAS +1.5
Meat's Bet: Pittsburgh -1.5, $0
Heat's Bet: Dallas +1.5
What Happened: The Steelers came back and had a chance to put this one away, but an Antonio Brown fumble gave Dallas new life. They tied it up and took it to overtime where Ben Roethlisberger gift-wrapped the game for them on the first play.
Meat's Total: 7-6, +$125
Heat's Total: 9-4
KANSAS CITY +3 @ OAKLAND
Meat's Bet: Oakland -3, $25
Heat's Bet: Oakland -3
What Happened: Heat continues to kill it. Oakland looked like Oakland but Kansas City looked even more like Oakland as they have for most of the past few weeks. Forget that Belcher Bowl against Carolina. That team is gone. This was probably the last easy KC bet of the year.
Meat's Total: 8-6, +$150
Heat's Total: 10-4
SAN FRANCISCO +6 @ NEW ENGLAND
Meat's Bet: SF +6, $25
Heat's Bet: NE -6
What Happened: San Francisco jumped all over these Boston fairies, but New England stormed right back to tie it up after facing a 31-3 deficit. But, San Francisco and their new non-Alex Smith QB held strong and got the win in the end. Both of these teams should have interesting lines next week.
Meat's Total: 9-6, +$175
Heat's Total: 10-5
NYJ @ TENNESSEE +1
Meat's Bet: Tennessee +1, $25
Heat's Bet: Tennessee +1
What Happened: Sanchez happened. There's no more that needs to be said.
Meat's Total: 10-6, +$200
Heat's Total: 11-5
What a week for Heat and Meat. Heat edged me with a killer 11-5 week, and fortunately for me most of my losses came on the $0 games that I had no idea where to go on. This big week almost erases the flaming abortions of the last two weeks and puts me at -$25 for the year.
For Heat, I will start tracking now 'cause that motherfucker won't do it himself.
MEAT YTD: 24-33, -$25
HEAT YTD: 11-5
Great reviews, Meat. Thank you for tracking for me. I'll go ahead and make my excuse the new girlfriend this week for not adding any flavor to the blog. She honestly takes a lot of my time. She is a bandit of productivity. I'm not use to balancing my life with a girl in it. Meat has had practice and is an expert. I'll get there though.
ReplyDeleteGreat showing this week for the gambling duo. This week should be interesting as the season comes to an end. But don't worry, the blog will continue with Baseball and we'll even throw some kickball and dodgeball news in there.
Don't forget to watch UNC take on Texas tonight at 9pm est on ESPN2. GO HEELS!
