Tracking my 2007 fantasy football picks

Having fun on Monday ight

Sep 24, 2007, 6:37pm | Posted by Steve

Sunday Night Football turned out pretty nicely for me. After a 3-3 first half I had given up on my Over 41 bet, but still liked my chances on Dallas covering. I liked it enough that I even tacked on another bet on the Cowboys at the break. It worked out even better than I could have hoped, as Rex Grossman and the Bears fell apart and Dallas started scoring in spades. I ended up winning all three bets.

09/23 NFL Results

Cowboys (+3) at Bears - Win

Cowboys (team Over 7.5 2H) at Bears - Win

Cowboys at Bears (Over 41) - Win

Dolphins at Jets (-3) - Push

Vikings at Chiefs (Under 33.5) - Win

(For final scores, see the season record page.)

When a team depends on gutless wonders like Rex Grossman and Cedric Benson, like the Bears offense does, I'll look for every chance to bet against them.

I've got three bets in play for tonight's Monday Night Football matchup, but only one I'm actually serious about. I'm taking the Titans both at +4.5 and straight-up on the moneyline, but those are really small bets made just to make watching the game more fun. The one bet I'm truly serious about is Tennessee to score at least 21. I look for tonight's game to be a fairly high-scoring affair, as the Saints are desperate to make something happen and Vince Young thrives in the spotlight. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Titans put up 30 points or so.

ACTION: 09/24

Titans (+4.5) at Saints

Titans (ML) at Saints

Titans (team Over 21) at Saints
