Time for the Pros

Down to the pros. They've hurt me all season, but there are a few games I really like this weekend. Cardinals and Packers are solid bets to cover against bad teams.

RESULTS Week of Dec. 5

A very average week. I just can't get a handle on the pros--my 6th non-winning week in a row. A disappointing week for locks, too. Why do I ever pick the Cowboys?

Crunch Time

It's getting to a tough point in the season. College is down to the Conference Championships, which generally involve 2 pretty good teams, and a few oddballs. In the pros, teams are fighting for the playoffs. I like to give the edge to those teams who really need a win for the playoffs. Also, I think games play a bit closer this time of year, so I lean a bit more toward the dogs. For locks, I'm riding Houston while they're hot.
