In A Slump

I have lost the zip on my fast ball.  My field goals once I hit them toward the right don't come back.  My foot speed is a step slow.  In others words I am slumping right now and I hate to have to say this but last week during my NFL picks I was only 7-8.  So I went back out on the practice field to go back to the basics   an I am worse this week than last.  A horrid 4-9.  You may recall I picked the games also last week based on the sporting lines and thank goodness I did better a solid 5-8.  Glad I don't bet on the games or Louie would be after me to collect.

I wish I had of known of Romo being out for Dallas last week but other than that one I stunk last week overall.  I am down to 83-49 on the season and I'm in jeopardy of not making the playoffs.  There is still time to recover but it is time to have a closed door meeting and straighten this season out.

Thursday night on the NFL scene the much improved Cleveland Browns travel to Cincinnati for the battle of Ohio.  I got a feeling this is a good one but Bengals win at home 27-23.

Chiefs at Bills:  playoff game here as both of these teams are in the hunt for the playoffs.  I have liked what I have seen from KC all year and I think they go in to Buffalo and who knows may be snow on the ground but KC wins anyway 23-20

Dolphins at Lions.  Here we go with another playoff game and after a week off Lions  hold serve winning 27-21

Dallas at Jaxsonville by way of London.  This is the third game this year in London.  Look out the London Beef Eaters soon to be an NFL Team.  Don't care who quarterbacks Dallas the boys win 24-16.

49'S at Saints. 9'ers are 4-4 and boy do they need this one.  I think Saints beginning to play like the Saints  28-21   The Jazz win

Falcons at Bucs.  Who are those guys calling themselves Falcons.  Who knows whether the birds show up and Tampa has been in almost every game.  Bucs 26- Atlanta 24

Titans at Ravens.  Ravens had better be mad after sacking Big Ben on three straight plays late in the first quarter and then giving up forty something   Ravens 30- Titans 17

Steelers at Jets.  This is  typical NFL game.  Steelers look like Super Bowl bound last two weeks but the lowly Jets slip them.  I forgot this is the Jets. Pitt  38 Jets 23

Bronco's at Oakland:  This game will be closer than it should be because the Raiders play better at home.  34-24

Rams at Cardinals.  Cardinals can just about clinch division if they bear Rams    Card  27- Rams 24

Giants at Seattle.  Should be no contest but it will be closer than it should be.  Hawks 27 Eli 13.

Bears at Packers.  The tundra just might be frozen.  Take the Packers  34-20

Monday night football Carolina at Philadelphia.  New quarterback in Philly and nobody new on defense for Carolina so that is enough for me to pick Philly.  30-16.

I need to go outside and run some more wind sprints to see if I can get out of this slump.
