I hate night games
I've said it before and I'll say it again now -- night football stinks! Monday night football in particular. Earlier this season I managed to break a 10-split losing streak on Monday nights when Dallas beat Washington on the road. I actually managed to win another Monday split two weeks later -- a mini streak if you will. But my luck in predicting Mondays has been woefully mediocre. Through 15 weeks I am just 7-8, which isn't much of an improvement over last season.
Night football seems to defy logic. Take two teams as mismatched as the Patriots and Dolphins were on paper and the result should have been Patsies by about 50. But of course the Dolphins escaped their defeat with a pair of touchdowns in the final couple of minutes, reminiscent of the Cowboys' win at Seattle a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to employ a new strategy: From now on I will pick the team I think should win the game and then will change my pick at the last second. Hey, I'd be just 8-7 right now, but that's a game better than 7-8!
The good news? Next Monday's contest between Philly and the Lambs is the LAST Monday night game of the season. Yeah!
