    Still wondering if I should bet on a Texans win lol. Should be a close game, but Tom Brady really scares me. :/

    Ended up going with a parlay of Falcons -3 and over 47. Feeling pretty good about it as of now.

    stupid Lloyd TD screwed me out of a big win. turned it into a minor loss overall

    Counted on JJ shutting him down generally...didn't consider the WR screen possibility

    Alright fellow degenerates, it's about that time. Nothing concrete, but here are my leans for the games on Sunday:

    NE to cover -7.5
    NE/Baltimore Over 51.5
    SF/Atl Under 49
    Atl +4

    Don't really feel too confident about the last two, because I think they can go either way. Any thoughts, comments, or suggestions? Let's all collaborate and go 4-0 this weekend.

    ****ing Falcons, can't believe I ended up losing this bet.

    Haven't really looked at this week's match-ups, will post which direction I go tomorrow. I will say that the Falcons +4.5 at home is mighty tempting

    Really upset with myself for making that emotional hedge bet against the Falcons.

    Although I did put in a last minute bet for Matt Ryan to lead everyone in passing yards that had a really good payout on it.

    Ended up teasing Ravens to +14.5, but it didn't matter because I teased the total down to 45 and lost that.

    Matt Ryan helped me break even. At least he didn't choke in that respect. Lulz.
