I guess what amazes me about these picks with the spread, is how hard it is to consistently win more than 55% of your games. I've been in the same football draft for years, with the same sixty guys, and by the last week the majority of us are under 50% in games picked correctly. You'd figure that if you knew nothing about football and just guessed at the games (same as predicting heads or tails on a coin flip) that you would consistently come in at 50% (by the law of averages). So people with an astute football knowledge as ourselves would come in 50%+ on a consistent basis. All you need is 7 of 12 games right per week and your batting 58%. Yet this never seems to be the case. Any comments?

Also, if I ever take the Ravens again this year, please, someone talk some sense to me.

As well, Robert Newton, nice call on the outright wins by Chicago and Buffalo.
