Another .500 week, which makes it four straight. That's 29-29-2. You might argue that a monkey could pick 50 percent, and that's true, but not every single week. To do that takes real genius.
I expect the streak to break this week as I truly despise this slate. SD-PIT, DAL-CIN, BUF-STL, DET-GB, KC-CLE, NE-HOU, TEN-IND - these are all basically coin flips.
