We should all be blessed with an abundance of good friends, loving family, delicious foods, and ice cold beer. It’s just unfortunate that the NFL won’t be blessing us with an exciting line up of holiday pigskin.

However I wasn’t so lucky with my picks against the spread, which finished below .500 at 7-9. Can you say ‘Ouch’? Well, no need to beat around the bush this week; let’s just get right to it.

The quick recap of Week 10 shows nothing better than average for yet another week of picks as I finished both 9-5 in my straight picks and 9-5 against the spread.

But what else should I have expected. I picked all the favorites and we all know the chances of all the favorites winning are extremely slim. With all that said my straight picks were 9-5 while my picks against the spread finished 8-6. So let’s just jump right in to Week 10.

My record last week was among the worst of them as my sure things became busts and my upsets were anything but. That said, I finished 6-8 on the straight picks and 5-8-1 against the spread.

Fortunately, my picks improved, but unfortunately, my Broncos look as if they are self destructing week after week as they seem determined to give the ball away.

I saw a few people come out of last week with a winning pick record, but as for me…Wow! I tanked! Honestly, I’m shocked! The ‘Any Given Sunday’ rule applied, and we should probably expand that to include ‘Any Given Monday.’ So the Rams and Texans are no longer winless, and the Browns served up a can of Whoop Ass to the Giants.
