Points were a little harder to come by last week as ten games stayed under the total, five games went over, and one game; N.Y. Jets at New England was a push at 45. The biggest shocker by far was the thrilling 38-37 win by Detroit over Cleveland. The Lions scored 40 points combined in their last four games and the Browns have only scored 29 points combined in their last five games.

Bad Beats: Where have all the ‘Pick ‘em’s’ gone?

Ben Burns

The old oddmakers’ joke goes like this: ‘You can’t make a game a Pick because the squares won’t know who to bet.’

It’s referring to the public’s love of favorites. But oddmakers aren’t kidding around about Pick ‘em games anymore. There aren’t any.

Bad Beats: Tough to recover from Dolphin debacle

Ben Burns

Whether you won or lost, the Saints’ remarkable cover against Miami is the type of game that messes with your mind. It lingers and affects the way you bet for weeks.

If you had the Dolphins plus 6, you’re heartbroken and have lost a lot of confidence. If you had the Saints, you’re probably a little bit over-confident. How you react in coming weeks could be the difference of a winning season and a losing one.

Bad Beats: How do you blow a coverage when you are in basically your Hail Mary defense?

Ask the Washington Huskies.

With 13 seconds to play in a tie game with Arizona State, the Huskies allowed not one but two Sun Devil receivers to get behind their defensive backs deep. Arizona State quarterback Danny Sullivan simply dropped back and heaved a 50-yard winning touchdown pass to a wide-open Chris McGaha.
