Another bad week of betting as only the game that I was most worried about actually came through. The Round Robin Parlay was destroyed by both San Diego and New Orleans deciding that they didn't feel like playing. The Jaguars made me nervous by falling behind early but they finally came together and pulled through with the win so the weekend wasn't a total loss. Overall, I did OK for such a wild win (getting 7 right heading into Monday Night) but that doesn't mean much when you pick the wrong games for the parlays and straight bets.

In terms of actual football, the Chiefs could be good except they need a real quarterback. Yes, Dwayne Bowe dropped a TD pass and is simply too unreliable to be a #1 receiver but Cassel isn't the real deal and is a backup. The Chiefs need to cut him and go after a legit QB this offseason if they ever want to be able to get over the hump. The Green Bay Packers' season of frustration continues with another loss and more injuries. The team that looked like the favorites for the NFC Championship can't seem to stay healthy nor can they stop from shooting themselves in the foot. The NFC as a whole is just one big disappointment with the Cowboys constantly looking for ways to lose games (and I think Romo has been exposed as a rich man's Doug Flue - he can do some amazing things but will make too many mistakes to be counted on.) In the AFC, the Ravens seem like the team to beat. I'm not sure how they lost to the Bengals but next week's game against the Patriots is going to be huge. Right now, I think the Ravens and Jets are the favorites in the AFC while the NFC seems like a complete mish-mash of teams that can't get out of their own way. I kind of like the Giants' chances but Eli Manning's turnovers are the stuff that first round exits are made of.

Fantasy-wise, I sold low on LeSean McCoy and am regretting it but I got Jamaal Charles in the deal and I still prefer his schedule to McCoy's, especially in the playoffs (weeks 14/15/16). Loading up on Broncos is paying off as Kyle Orton and Brandon Lloyd can't be stopped and Knowshon Moreno should be able to get some decent points whenever he gets healthy. I'm definitely now worried about him losing carries to Laurence Maroney, who hasn't looked very good at all.

A rough week but it's hard to be too down when I still came away as a winner in two of my three leagues and also because someone busted out the Carlton as a TD dance.
