[Mark's Moneymakers]

another bad week last week. no more throwing money down the drain. will save it for college hoops. i know i suck in the pros, but i have never had this bad a year in college football. i just don't understand it. just thinking the wrong way this year. i am about a good as a fade right now as they come. i will continue to post my plays, but they are just for fun, none of my own money will be spent on these games.




houston (+18) vs colts.........all this talk about an undefeated season, please. even if they do, they lose in the playoffs. no team will ever go undefeated the entire season and playoffs again. no way, not happening. what do the colts have to play for here? they should win by 50, but they won't. no way their heads can be into this game and houston is playing a little better. houston has nothing to lose and everything to gain. colts by 14.

jets (+9) vs carolina....guess this is my week to take bad teams. jets were supposed to be much better this year, it is not like they suck. even without their qb, i think they have the running game and defense to play carolina tough. I have never been impressed with carolina. jets will lose, but find a way to keep it close.

new england (-2.5) vs miami.........have seem many people of the fish this week. are the pats really that bad all of a sudden? is miami really that much inproved? no to both questions. the dolphins even during these down years have alway played the pats tough. now that the pats are down a little and miami getting better people are expecting miami to win at home. i just see it differently. i expect new england to go into miami and win and then when the dolphins go to new england people will be all over the pats and that is when the dolphins give them fits. pats by at least 10 this week.

kansas city (+3) vs buffalo.........i know the bills are tough at home, especially this time of year when it gets cold and windy, but i just have to go with the better team here and the points. kansas city will find a way to put enough points on the board and win this game. getting a field goal is a bonus.

pittsburgh (-7.5) vs cleveland........even without bigben, the steelers are still that much better than the browns. i know when the steelers and browns play, anything can happen, but this year the steelers are heads and shoulders better than cleveland. the steelers always play great at home on national tv. no reason to think different this time.
