Monday Night Recap and Moving Forward

I needed a day to cool off after that loss we took on Monday night. Three special teams touchdowns are a great way to kill an under, and turn a potential 3-1 week into a 2-2 one. When I take an under I normally like to have about a touchdown worth of error available in the event of a freak play, when there are three though there is simply nothing you can do. Take 2 of those return tds away and we're looking at 43 total points, but unfortunately that's not how the game works and we have to live with it. I'm a bit frustrated as I find myself 3-5 ATS over the last two weeks, but I'm trying to focus on the fact that we easily could be looking at 5-3 instead. These bad breaks will even out in the end.

I've got one more week of capping games on my own, followed by the start of my system plays in Week 8. I'm still deciding how I want to handle these plays and the release of them, I've flip flopped all year on what I'll do and likely will continue to the next week and a half. I think what I'm going to wind up doing is holding back the system plays that I don't agree with, and after a few weeks if I see that I'm leaving too many winners on the shelf I'll make them all available to you. I think that makes more sense right now than tracking a few different records and trying to keep it all sorted out. Although I'm disappointed with the last two weeks, to be sitting at 18-8 ATS with only one week to go before my system plays is certainly the position we want to be in. I'll right the ship this coming week, and then we should be ready for a pretty nice stretch from Week 8 until the Superbowl!
