Fox now says SF-BAL is going to 58% of the US, which honestly isn't bad for a singleheader game.

But still none of the 4 biggest markets. Giants, Rams, Eagles all in the same window, Chicago is getting the Packers.

The map looks a lot larger than 58% getting SF vs. Balt. For sheer area size, more like 75-80%. For a nooner, pretty big market share.....

A little preview of what we're up against:

Tripping penalties in the NFL are rare but the Cowboys were called twice in New England and the league later admitted that neither were correctly called.

My goodness, a $10 2-team money-line parlay bet of Washington (+435) and Miami (+435) at 5-Dimes would pay $276.22. Didn't see that one coming.....

The Titans are all of a sudden "not an easy game".....

Add a trio of Bengals over Jets and you've got a nice down payment.

A $10 3-team money-line parlay bet of Cincinnati (+125), Washington (+435) and Miami (+435) at 5-Dimes would pay $634.01. Eheh.

I had a bad weekend everywhere in my picks. Let's see if these Texans can give a lift (only to shatter it further down the line)....
