NFL Week Nine Picks

I took a bit of a beating last week, especially against the spread. After I finally had decided that Denver was worthy of respect, they went out and got destroyed by Baltimore. Then the Saints made me want to jump off a roof by allowing Atlanta to kick a field goal in the waning minutes of their Monday night game while leading by eleven as ten point favorites. I had regained a little hope for the Jets after they put the hurt on the Raiders. I really should have known better than to have judged any team based on a victory over Oakland. I ended up playing opposites again finishing 8-5 straight up (winners) but only 5-8 against the spread. Which leaves me with and overall record of 74-41 straight up and 59-55-1 against the spread. So, I'm still in the positive against the casino, even if it is by a fairly slim margin at the moment. (READ THE ENTIRE POST ON HUBPAGES)
