With last night’s win – we had the Giants +9 and UNDER 61.5 – we finish the season at 28-20-2, winning at a 57% clip for the year. We were a whopping 78-22-2 overall.
Our best friends this year were the Ravens (again) the Giants, Steelers, Panthers, 49ers, and Patriots. The Jets were a disappointment and, as always, avoid the NFC West teams as you never know what you’ll get week-to-week.
The Lions and the Raiders improved, while the Bengals and Bills proved streaky, sadly at the beginning of the season.
However, that also highlights the necessity of waiting until week 6 to bet the NFL because it takes that long for teams to identify themselves. Sadly, they flamed out after impressing bettors. You were smart to ditch them early.
Open questions for next year:
1. Over/Under date of Rex Ryan’s next Super Bowl prediction for the Jets: June 15
2. Over/Under 49ers wins next year – 10. Will they be an NFC dynasty again?
3. Who dethrones the Giants next year? Packers or Saints?
4. Will the injury bug finally stop biting Pittsburgh? If it does, they beat the Packers next year…
5. Is Denver really back? Or is Tebow another one-hit wonder a la Vince Young.
6. Who takes Norv Turner? Minnesota? St. Louis? Philly? Someone else who wants to tread water for three years?
7. With all the talent they get, can the Chargers finally play to the level they are capable of achieving?
8. Over/Under Jets wins: 10? They have a comparatively easy schedule next year (AFC South/NFC West).
