this weeks card. oregonlottery.org and my picks must be: buff -4.5 buff will have a normal week (no mnf), and the defense should put oak out of their misery. on the road, and after losing to denver, this should be a mental breakdown week for the raiders and if flutie really is feeling it, as he did last week..... wash/az ov 45.5. washington plays no defense, so even jake should be able to put up some td's this week and with how wash plays offense, i have trouble believing they may not put up over 45 themselves. this should be a high scoring game, the zona defense is not what it was last year, although it is good.

I hope Laron has one more good week, so that Rule 35-b3 kicks in. For those who haven't read the bylaws of our contest, that rule states that anyone who hits 90% is automatically disqualified. Tom

Here's how bizarre last week was. I play a lotto game called Toto here in British Columbia. What you have to do is pick thirteen givin games. You only win money if you pick 11 games or better. There's no spread but there are ties. A tie is a match that ends 3 points or less. Last week there were 9 ties, very very unusual. Nobody got 13 correct but there were two tickets with 12 correct. The payout was $28,000 per ticket. You can pay as much as $1.00-972.00 for one ticket depends on what combination you prefer. Believe it or not, for the fun of it and for one buck I had a ticket I picked with 10 games to end in a tie, unfortunately they weren't quite the right combination. Like San Fran/Rams game. I had that as a tie, we all know what happened there. <g> What a weird week.
