Can’t Lose for Winning

CITY OF CHAMPIONS - So we manage to win again. I almost had a heart attack a few times but I’m super glad the Pats pulled out the victory. I went to bed with a smile on my face. However when I woke up this morning, all I heard was how the Ravens got robbed (mostly by Ravens players). How the officials cost them the game.

So I was very happy to see this afternoon that Peter King (probably my favorite football writer) wrote a column about these claims.

Now that the Ravens are done with it’s Steelers time. Our next 3 games are at home before closing in New York against the Giants.

The line…at least it’s not 20 again…

The line for the Pats/Steelers game opened at Pats (-14.5). As the day as gone on I’ve seen it on different sites ranging from (-13) to (-10). The game takes place Sunday at 4:15. Let’s go lucky 13!

In other news, the 49er’s lost again. It’s looking more and more that the Pats will have a top 5 draft pick come April. Whether they use it on a player or trade down…it’s just great knowing that they have fantastic options. And I know they never draft linebackers early but after a move I saw McGahee put on Seau last night…yikes! We could certainly use some young talent at the position.

The Red Sox…still waiting to hear about Johan. What a rotation that’ll be. But I’m not giving my hopes up yet. When/if it happens, I’ll deal with it then.

The Celtics…keep plugging along. They still have the best record in the NBA at 14 - 2. I’ve probably seen parts of 80% of their games so far. I have no doubt they can and will play better as the season progresses. I’m not saying they’ll keep up this pace of winning (it’s impossible) but they will be playing smarter.
