Week 8 Results

Chargers @ Broncos. Pick: Chargers +9. Result: Broncos, 35-21. Wrong.
Okay, so I should have gone with my second instinct and picked the Broncos to win by more. Oh well.

Seahawks @ Panthers. Pick: Seahawks -6. Result: Seahawks, 13-9. Wrong.
That game was way closer than it had any right to be. The Seahawks still have all the pieces, but they're just not fitting quite right anymore. It'll come back. This is not the worst time in the season to be figuring stuff out.

Bears @ Patriots. Pick: Chicago +6. Result: Patriots 51-23. Wrong.
Brady was crazy good. There's nothing to be done about that. Also, a number of QBs had amazing weeks this week, so I'll be noting the especially great performances. Brady, in this game, ended with a UPR of 163.3.

Lions @ Falcons. Pick: Detroit -4.5. Result: Lions, 22-21. Wrong.
I hate picking against the spread.

Rams @ Chiefs. Pick: Rams +7. Result: Chiefs, 34-7. Wrong.

Texans @ Titans. Pick: Titans +3. Result: Texans, 30-16. Wrong.
I hate the Texans. I've gone from loving them to hating them.

Vikings @ Buccaneers. Pick: Vikings +3. Result: Vikings, 19-13. Right.
OMG I got one right.

Ravens @ Bengals. Pick: Ravens -1.5. Result: Bengals, 27-24. Wrong.
This is not my best week ever.

Dolfins @ Jagwars. Pick: Jagwars +6. Result: Dolphins, 27-13. Wrong.
In fact, it's probably my worst week ever.

Bills @ Jets. Pick: Bills +3. Result: Bills, 43-23. Right.
Duh. Also, Kyle Orton with the 187.9 UPR.

Eagles @ Cardinals. Pick: Cards -2.5. Result: Cards, 24-20. Right.
"This actually is an even game. It's an incredibly even game." Yep.

Raiders @ Browns. Pick: Browns -7. Result: Browns, 23-13. Right.
Okay so maybe I didn't do that badly. I just had all my wrong picks in a row.

Colts @ Steelers. Pick: Indy -3.5. Result: Pitt, 51-34. Wrong.
What the fuck. Roethlisberger with the 155.3 UPR. Don't get me wrong, I like to see the Colts lose, but... not like this.

Packers @ Saints. Pick: Packers even. Result: Saints, 44-23. Wrong.
Never mind. I did do that badly. Also, Brees with the 144.1 UPR. This might be a record. Rodgers looking strangely human. It doesn't become him.

Redskins @ Cowboys. Pick: Skins +10. Right. So right.
I'm just gonna quote myself here. "What was that phrase again? Oh yeah. Trap game. Trap game. Trap game. Trap game. Trap game. TRAP GAME. TRAP GAME. TRAP GAME. Biggest trap game of the season, right here. I'm unofficially picking Washington to win, straight up." Also, Weeden with the 161.1 UPR. I mean, on 6 attempts, yeah. But it's Brandon Weeden. Give him this one. He deserves it.

Total: 5-10. Again. I don't want to talk about it. Running total: 20-24-1. But honestly I deserve an extra win or five for guessing that Skins game completely right.
