Week 16 recap

Once again my sizzler fizzled, but I think the rest is looking good. Let's recap.

By the way, I'm 24-33 at -$25 YTD and Meat is 11-5.


SAN FRANCISCO +0 @ SEATTLE

Meat's Pick: San Francisco, $50 sizzler
Heat's Pick: SF, $25

What really happened: The opposite of what I thought would happen...Seattle continued to roll over teams and just stormfucked the shit out of San Francisco. Going to be interesting this week as they are road favorites over Washington.

Meat Week-to-Date: 0-1, -$50
Heat WTD: 0-1, -$25



ATLANTA @ DETROIT +4

Meat's Pick: Atlanta, $25
Heat's Pick: Atlanta, $25

What really happened: Just what everyone expected to happen - the Lions came out and mistaked and turnovered their way to a loss. The way I described this in my write-up, I'm surprised I didn't make it sizzle. Detroit is the worst.

Meat WTD:1-1, -$25
Heat WTD: 1-1, $0




TENNESSEE +13 @ GREEN BAY

Meat's Pick: Tenn, $0
Heat's Pick: Tenn, $0

What really happened: Green Bay covered. And then some. I don't like to put money on games like this because at some point it becomes less of a "hey what team is better than what team" and more of a "will the obviously superior team care enough to win by 2 TDs?".

Meat WTD: 1-2, -$25
Heat WTD: 1-2, $0



OAKLAND +8.5 @ CAROLINA

Meat's Pick: Carolina, $0
Heat's Pick: Oakland, $0

What really happened: Finally, a difference in picks! Heat went with his heart and took his team. I took Carolina because they should stomp Oakland every time, but I didn't bet anything because I knew that Carolina rarely does what it should do. This time they did, beating Oakland by 11.

Meat WTD: 2-2, -$25
Heat WTD: 1-3, $0





BUFFALO +4.5 @ MIAMI

Meat's Pick: Miami, $25
Heat's Pick: Miami, $0

What really happened: A bad team beat another bad team by 14 at home. Fin. (that's "feen", like as in finished in Spanish, not "fin", as in what Miami fans actually use in cheers about their sea-queer team).

Meat WTD: 3-2, $0
Heat WTD: 2-3, $0




CINCINNATI +4.5 @ PITTSBURGH

Meat's Pick: Pitt, $0
Heat's Pick: Cincy, $25

What really happened: In the battle of awful, awful coaching, Cincinnati made enough plays to pull out a boring win. The points where just gravy.

Meat WTD: 3-3, $0

Heat WTD: 3-3, $0
EDIT: I gave Heat a $0 for this when he should have had $25. So I'm going to add $25 to his final score.




NE @ JACKSONVILLE +14.5

Meat's Pick: NE, $0
Heat's Pick: Jax, $0

What really happened: New England appeared to not give the slightest fuck, because Jax is that bad. And Jax almost won the damn game. I hate big spreads, hate hate hate.

Meat WTD: 3-4, $0
Heat WTD: 4-3, $0




INDIANAPOLIS @ KANSAS CITY +6.5

Meat's Pick: Indy, $25
Heat's Pick: Indy, $25

What really happened: The Colts continued to be one of the most underwhelming good teams with the most underwhelming awesomest QB ever, but it was enough to cover by a half point over a KC team that was sleepwalking through the rest of the year. If no one on the Chiefs kills themselves the day before the game, you can bet they'll come out looking uninspired.

The Colts will probably even win in Baltimore this week, setting up one of the easiest bets ever in the week to follow when Peyton unveils his usual playoff magi....oh. Fuck.

Meat WTD:4-4, $25
Heat WTD: 5-3, $25




NEW ORLEANS +3 @ DALLAS

Meat's Pick: NO, $25
Heat's Pick: NO, $25

What really happened: Well, I thought this one was easy money, and it looked like it for awhile, but Dallas came back at the end to force overtime. However, NO cruised down the field like a young George Michael and kicked the game winner in OT.

Meat WTD: 5-4, $50
Heat WTD: 6-3, $50




WASHINGTON @ PHILADELPHIA +5.5

Meat's Pick: Wash, $25
Heat's Pick: Wash, $25

What really happened: Washington won a boring game by 7. I expected more from them, but my wallet doesn't really care how much a team covers by in the end.

Meat WTD: 6-4, $75
Heat WTD: 7-3, $75




ST. LOUIS +3 @ TAMPA BAY

Meat's Pick: St. L, $25
Heat's Pick: TB, $0

What really happened: The Tampa Bay annual late-season nosedive proved that it lives again! However, the next week they actually got it together and won a meaningless game that cost me about $155 in a Pick Seven poll. So f them. 

Meat WTD: 7-4, $100
Heat WTD: 7-4, $75




NYG @ BALTIMORE +2.5

Meat's Pick: Baltimore, $25
Heat's Pick: NYG, $25

What really happened: NYG continued to suck, and Baltimore got that one win in their final four that they were so desperately searching for. This decrepit team actually won the AFC North and will probably lose to Luck and the shoddy Colts next week. Even with Ray-Ray!!!!

Meat WTD: 8-4, $125
Heat WTD: 7-5, $50




MINNESOTA +7.5 @ HOUSTON

Meat's Pick: Minn, $25
Heat's Pick: Hou, $0

What really happened: Minnesota easily won a big game for Houston, in Houston. Houston is nosediving into the playoffs. But they get the Bengals. Man. I'll have to think about that one pretty hard whenever I do my playoff bets.

Meat WTD: 9-4, $150
Heat WTD: 7-6, $50




CLEVELAND +12.5 @ DENVER

Meat's Pick: Den, $25
Heat's Pick: Den, $25

What really happened: I hate the giant spreads and only took this for fake money because it was the last one on the list and I was tired of punting. And, lo and behold, Denver came out and worked the Browns like they should. 

Meat WTD: 10-4, $175
Heat WTD: 8-6, $75




CHICAGO +5.5 @ ARIZONA

Meat's Pick: Chi, $25
Heat's Pick: Chi, $25

What really happened: Bears came out and took advantage of a Cardinals team that just cannot find a way to score. Mainly because Ted DiBiase is probably starting at QB for them by now.

Meat WTD: 11-4, $200
Heat WTD: 9-6, $100



SAN DIEGO +1.5 @ NYJ

Meat's Pick: SD, $25
Heat's Pick: SD, $25

What really happened: NYJ actually played ok for a bit but, somewhere in the second half they became the Jets again, and Phil Rivers somehow managed to lead his team to victory.

Meat WTD: 12-4, $225
Heat WTD: 10-6, $125



MEAT YTD: 36-37, +$200
HEAT YTD: 21-11, +$125 +$25 for Cincy error = +$150


Well look at that! After a horrid start I managed to come back and finish way up in the dollar column and almost broke even straight up. Heat is way over .500 in his last two weeks.

So, basically, if you read all of our posts and bet accordingly, you'd be up pretty good right now no matter who you followed. What more can you ask for from a free blog???
