We were a robust 13-3 overall in elongated Week 12 — our second-best week of the season straight-up — but an unlucky 8-8 against the point spread. Unlucky? We had Denver covering at home vs. Saints — before all the Broncos QBs went on the COVID list and a wide receiver took snaps to abysmal results. Unlucky II: Lost another cover when our pick came before Ravens lost QB Lamar Jackson to COVID and the line changed dramatically. Coulda/shoulda been 10-6 ATS, but we don't change/update picks. Such is the peril of predicting NFL games on Thursday afternoons in a pandemic-rocked season. Still, we nailed our Pats over Cardinals Upset of the Week ("Aawwk!"), bulls-eyed another outright upset with Redskins over Cowboys, and had a trio of 'dogs-with-points in covers by Bengals, Jaguars and 49ers. Also: Had Miami beating Jets by 18; margin was 17. Solid week despite the devil's luck. (Note: There was no Thursday night game this week).
