Week 11 Appetizer



Hundreds of TV's, drinks being served, opportunities to win or lose large amounts of cash.....what more could you want?


So as I mentioned in my previous post, I was indeed in Vegas this past weekend.  While it was close to a overdose of sports, it was certainly nice to get that fix of NFL, college football, and even some college hoops.  I'll probably share a few more comments in my full Week 11 post, but I will say that I made it back in one piece with more money in my pocket than I started with.  So in other words, the trip was a success.

Tonight's Dolphins-Bills matchup doesn't seem very compelling, but then again, most of these Thursday games haven't been.  Two below-average AFC East teams without many superstars, but that should at least make it a competitive game.  The Bills will be without Fred Jackson due to a concussion, but this could actually benefit them as C.J. Spiller has been the far more effective and dynamic running back. 

On the other side, Reggie Bush has received a lot of press over his benching last week.  He is trying to cure a case of fumbilitis, and I think he will make a point of having a big game here.  I give Miami the slight edge overall, but the game is being played in Buffalo.  When I left Vegas on Monday, the Dolphins were favored by 1.  Now they are a 2.5/3 point underdog.  Not sure what changed, but since I think the game is a toss-up, I'll take the Dolphins and the 3 point spot (and under 46 points).  And with so many tough calls this week, I'll go ahead and throw this one in my Pick-6 segment....although sadly I will not be in Vegas to put my money where my mouth is this time.  Dolphins 20 - Bills 17
