In a week that ended the Green Bay Packers' home winning streak ATS and contained a blowout win by the 3-7 Dolphins over the Bills, it was hard to keep up. Fortunately, I didn't lose, so I can not completely complain, but I was still a little upset with the results. Let's go through them, one-by-one:
Denver ATS New York Jets: Tebow-mania is for real...At least for now. Can't say that I do not trust him, but I do not trust this inconsistent Broncos team.
Cleveland ATS Jacksonville: I thought that Cleveland would pull it off, but it was honestly a split decision. Maybe that's why it went down to the last play of the game to determine the winner.
Detroit ATS Carolina: After trailing to rookie sensation Cam Newton, the Lions decided to roar and blaze a comeback win by two touchdowns in this offensive thriller. Detroit's inability for early leads will hurt them, especially this week against the undefeated Packers.
Tampa Bay ATS Green Bay: This one really shocked me. Although it was 14 points, the Packers have covered every spread at home up to this point, and the Tampa defense has not been particularly impressive. Some bad tackling on a Legarrette Blount TD run might have done the trick.
Miami ATS Buffalo: Need I go into this? Miami 35-Buffalo 8. Bye-bye Bills.
Oakland ATS Minnesota: Not sure this one would have had the same result if AP hadn't left, but either way, Oakland pulled it off.
Washington ATS Dallas: Dallas still wins, but their games seem to be a little closer when they play against division rival Washington.
Baltimore PUSH Cincinnati: I had Cincy +7, which would have been covered if the refs didn't blow the call on the 4th quarter TD reception by Jermaine Gresham.
Seattle ATS St. Louis: I thought Seattle would take this one outright, and by a lot, and I was right. They aren't a bad team, especially against tough opponents (wins over Baltimore and New York Giants).
San Francisco ATS Arizona: San Fran remains the only undefeated (9-0-1) team ATS this year. Not too shabby.
Atlanta PUSH Tennessee: Glad we got to see Jake Locker, but sad that it had to be in garbage time that ruined the Falcons' blowout win and diminished the spread down to a push.
Chicago ATS San Diego: Yeah, Bears won, but Cutler is now out for season with a broken thumb. Is it too soon to count them out?
Philadelphia ATS New York Giants: This one surprised me, but it also didn't. The Giants are really missing Bradshaw right now, and the Eagles' pass defense finally stepped up to help them win, despite an Uncle-Rico-from-Napolean-Dynamite-quarterback in Vince Young.
New England ATS Kansas City: This was my real lock of the week. It should have been a ridiculous, NCAA-like 25 point spread, but they don't do that in the NFL. Pats won, and they won big.
OVERALL: 6-6-2
