Anyone on either side of the CLE - DAL game feel like throwing up yet?

Okay, now I'm sick, thankfully I saw it coming.

K.Winslow. Pass thrown left sideline at the Cleveland 15. PENALTY on CLV-J.Gonzalez, Offensive Holding, 1 yard, enforced in End Zone, SAFETY - No Play.

Congrats to Al and co, but I've lost on the last play of nearly everything I've touched this week so spare a thought for us newbies [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

P.Dawson kicks onside 18 yards from CLV 20 to CLV 38. RECOVERED by CLV-A.Henry

Good God, can't they let me lose gracefully?

Wow. A safety with 8 secs left.

I had Dallas at -5.

What a weird way to end up beating the spread.

[Lori]

I had CLE at +5 and +5.5, those turnovers had me feeling giddy and when they punted to the 1, I knew that was it.

Congrats Bob [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] (Browns have now officially lost after gaining one last chance)

I had Dallas -5.5 and was thinking, "well, crap happens, I should have gotten the line when it was better." And then I flip back to Swingers, the scene where Mike and Lorraine are on the phone, and then I flip back and it's 19-12?

Wow.

[Lori]

I was rather sad when I saw his shoe in was the exact opposite of my next best.

Nearly changed my mind, but I think I'd have regretted not betting it and winning far more than betting it and not winning.

I've cheered up a little now with the Bills limping across the spread though [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Big Al is THE man..

Would you believe some UK bookies were -3.5 Dallas?
Check out the London based www.bluesq.com; don't think they moved from -3.5 all week.

And once again, nice one Big Al - I owe you more than a few beers [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

FWIW Lori - I thought Brandon Webb might come through for you and considered it a pretty good pick for the other reasons you mentioned.



I have lucked out big-time today.

Had the money-line on the Bears (woo-hoo!!).

Also on the 49ers who almost pulled it out which would have made it a VERY good day.
I backed away from picking the Giants though.
I also stayed away from AZ-NE because I just wasn't overly excited about AZ's chances of keeping it within 8.


Lost the point-spread pick with StL.

Now it comes down to Cincy.
I really think the Dolphins are pretty bad and look for Carson Palmer to have a big night.
I have bets at a couple books on this one at -5 and -5.5.

But I think I'm just betting this one because I'm excited to see my Bengals on national TV. I've lived most of my life in the Cincinnati area. So any potential I might have for accurate analysis is likely askew.
