There I was, minding my own business, laying on my couch thinking that my teaser cold streak was about to come to an end… but there Tommy DeVito was, charging the Giants up the field on the way to a game-winning field goal, breaking my heart and I’m sure the heart of countless others who teased the Packers down to 0.5 in the NFL odds.
To make matters worse, at right around the same time, I was on another emotional roller coaster of watching my Miami Dolphins choke away a win against the Tennessee Titans in what was the most humiliating loss in franchise history. How ridiculous of a comeback was it by the Titans? Well, over the last 20 seasons, teams who were down by 14 or more points inside of the final three minutes had a record of 3-2074!
Minutes before each of the crippling losses, I vividly remember thinking, “Wow, the Dolphins are going to win this game and the Packers are going to cover their teaser leg!” Needless to say, I didn’t sleep very well on Monday night… and, oh yeah, I’m also a Blue Jays fan and was tricked into believing that my team was about to land Shohei Ohtani, so I’ve been taking some hits!
But as always, I live to bet another day and this column lives on to break down Week 15 odds!
Let’s end the regular season on a strong note with this week’s NFL picks.
