Does anyone out there know the chances of:

1. TWO overtime games being decided by a touchdown AND

2. Both winners being favored by a number that would make this fact meaningful.

I had no play on Houston; I had Wash. +4.

If Dom Capers isn't fired tonight, I don't think I can bet the Texans any more this year. They have absolutely creamed me.

I honestly thought that the Giants were going to make it three.

I could quote in agreement nearly every post in this thread, but I'm going to pick this one. [censored] Dom Capers. [censored] the Texans.

What an awful day.

I don't mean to rub salt in the wound, but what was the appeal to taking the texans today? I understand the washington play and had the moneyline, but the texans???

Home dogs are nearly automatic for me. The extra .5 really made me like it. I also had a little on the moneyline since Bulger was out and I could get it at +155 when it was +150/+145 at my other books.

Geez, if you can't hold a 21 pt lead at home against a 7th round pick from Harvord and one of the worst road teams in the league, you should be contracted from the league. Houston had actually been pretty good to me before this one.

What were the odds of the Texans not covering with 40 seconds left in that game? They could have at least lost on a FG in OT. This reminds me of a poker hand when I got it all in with AJ vs AA on a AKJ board. I hit running jacks to bust the guy. Now I know how he felt.
