Well, I guess I picked a good week to give up gambling.
For those of you who followed my Week 1 picks to the letter, hope you gave it up, too – or better yet, never started.
Let’s start with the good news: If you just bet my “teaser” plays (multi-team bets where you add an extra six points to the line), then your money was never in doubt as the Cincinnati Bengals (-3) blew out the Oakland Raiders, 33-13, and the J-E-T-S, well, you know how that one turned out.
But rigorous honesty dictates that I point out that my straight picks finished 1-3 on the weekend.
