Postings aren't as frequent, probably because I have had mild writer's block and haven't been betting on as many games. Also there's school and work which mentally drain me on many a week. I guess I could keep making excuses, but as one of my recent teachers said to me, "No excuses". Which is right: an excuse is usually a bull shit reason for not doing something. Sometimes excuses are legitimate, but often they are us not owning up to our mistakes and taking responsibility for shit that goes wrong. Ever since said teacher told me of this advice, I've been trying to avoid making excuses and just attempt to do things right if I've made a mistake in a process of something.
With that being said, I'm sorry for those who listened to my NU over Illinois advice from last week. As an Illini fan, I figured that game would have stayed within a touchdown, which it did through halftime. Luckily, the bet didn't get booked on my end. With that free $110 to play with, I will make my Thanksgiving bet:
New Orleans -4 at Dallas: Hopefully I'll get the line at 3, but I'm anticipating 4. Dallas is finally starting to look like the team they were projected to be. Obviously, Romo being out isn't part of the plan, but Kitna has done a serviceable job. A few weeks ago, this line would have probably been NO -6 or 7, but the two Dallas wins have pushed this down a bit. I find value in NO here. I think NO will win by a touchdown or more and we'll see the NO's of previous years continue to come to form in 2010. Brees throws 3 TDs, and Bush will open up the field a little more for everyone else. I know he's questionable, but I don't see how he doesn't come back to show his skills on a national game.
If it loses, no excuses....except that NO didn't follow the script.
But that won't happen. Go Saints.
And Merry Turkey Day to all. Embrace the inner glutton in you and keep all the starving people of Indiana in your thoughts as you chow down on that biscuit smothered in gravy.
