1st time posting on the UC....horrible, horrible day. Can't remember having such a bad Sunday. Not new to the game, just new posting. Today reminded me of some things I learned in the past. I did not follow my own rules. In capping the NFL:
1st rule: Pick the winner of the game.
2nd rule: Follow my gut...do not outthink myself.
3rd rule: Don't be swayed by others.
Generally, in the NFL, if you can pick the winner, you will win money. The winner usually covers. My gut reactions early this week were NYG, KC, SD, NYJ, Colts, NO, Atl, and GB. I posted TB, NYJ, Texans, Seattle, Colts, Carolina. 2 games played that were not even on the early radar...didn't like them from the start. Went against early gut plays in some (TB, Seattle). Didn't really think TB or Seattle would win. Early gut plays that were no good were NYJ. Colts covered. I guess sometimes I need a week like this to remind myself to "get back to the basics". Just thankful I did not go berserk and dump a ton on any of these plays. Anyhow....congrats to the winners today. Hope everyone else made money. Looking forward to next week.
