Quick betting update

I will be brief in my summation of my NFL predictions: it's a good thing I'm not a betting man.

That was both brutal and humiliating.

Buffalo destroyed Kansas City, and while Jamaal Charles had an OK day (in one of my Fantasy Football leagues he had 14 points and 12.5 in the other) he scored about half of what the best FF RB netted (San Diego's Mike Tolbert, 35 and 31).

Atlanta made it look like the 1985 Bears were on the field for Chicago. My most disliked athlete of all time actually matched the Falcons' Matt Ryan throw for throw and yard for yard, which was more unbelievable to me than the actual scoreboard. I guess there was a reason Chicago made it to the NFC Championship game last season, huh?

My only correct prediction was the Cardinals beating the Panthers, but even that had a good chance of falling short as Cam Newton showed he does, in fact, have plenty of steak to go with that sizzle.

As for this week's games...

LSU by 3.5 over Miss St
I think the Tigers are national title contenders and will dominate this game.

Eastern Michigan plus 28.5 against Michigan
That Notre Dame contest was pretty exciting, but I don't have faith in the Wolverines to blow anyone out by 4 TDs.

Chargers and Patriots score more than 53 points combined
Philip Rivers and Tom Brady will put on an aerial show to rival Fleet Week in San Francisco. This should be a fun game to watch!
