Sports Betting

Someone once suggested that consistent victory gives us as a false sense of security, whereas defeat makes us ponder and it is that process that makes eventually makes us winners! No it wasn’t William Shakespeare, rather yours truly Robert Vincent Acton.
Yes it was I that suggested in Week 9 that Indy would go 16-0 and I was wrong, although Colt’s coach Tony Dungy played a huge part in the Indianapolis fall from grace. Down 10-0 in the second quarter Dunge decided against the opportunity to kick a short field goal and instead called for a Peyton Manning rollout run from the one yard line.
Indy missed out there as Manning was rundown, but they had another opportunity to kick or attempt shall I say, a 54-ield go with three minutes left in the game. I have seen Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt kick that distance in an outdoor game, so a 54-yarder in the Dome was attainable.
Dungy instead decided to punt in hopes of stopping the Chargers running game but Michael Turner scampered 80 + yards and the Colts were losers. As for San Diego they are right back in the hunt!
You can be sure that the various AFC defensive coordinators will be dissecting yesterdays Indy game and looking very closely at how Chargers coach Wade Phillips was able to maul Manning and his mates. The Colt’s offensive line looked inept at handling a strong pass rush and James looked disinterested.
All of a sudden there is hope in New England who no doubt are feeling very good about themselves today as their thumping of playoff bound Tampa Bay has everyone back on the bandwagon.
San Diego proved once again that they are capable of beating anyone and that means traveling east to play a 10:00 am PST game. They have smoked the Patriots on the road and beaten Washington and Indy in their own cribs so NOBODY in the NFL looks forward to meeting Marty’s troops.
The Cowboys are in a very dicey predicament after Washington laid the wood on them. Remember Redskins coach Joe Gibbs has already won one professional sports championship this year as Tony Stewart and the Gibbs Racing team won the Nextel Cup NASCAR Championship.
The favorites were 8-7 against the spread yesterday which gave the the type of two way action that makes them lots of cabbage. Having a poor 49ers and a weak Titans team cover against playoff bound Jacksonville and Seattle certainly didn’t hurt, but the public loves betting against the Detroit Lions!
