It's So Easy Being The Seer
No, stop it. Please, you're embarassing me. Aw, shucks. OK, I admit it. I'm really good at picking NFL games. The Seer now stands at an otherworldly 49-34 mark against the spread, good for a 59.0% winning percentage. I know, I know. "They" said it couldn't be done. "They" said I wouldn't stick with it.
"They" were all wrong. Yes, the Seer only won last night's Chiefs/Raiders game by a foot or so, but sometimes you have to be a little lucky in this business, too.
Lucky, like the Chiefs. Oh, there was much gnashing of teeth and flapping of jaws last week when the Seer dared to say the Vikings looked, to his eye, to be a better team than the Chiefs. But Chiefs fans surely can't be enthused about the way their anemic offense looked last night against a pathetic Raiders D. That makes two very tight finishes in a row, on the heels of two games where the offense had to be bailed out by the special teams.
Make no mistake, you take a win any way you can. Same with the Vikings, who, after burying the Broncos for three quarters Sunday, also softened up in the end to make the game more than a bit uncomfortable for their fans.
But this is all moot, isn't it? The Seer calls for a reapproachment between Viking and Chief fans. After all, they are the only undefeated teams in the league, and any objective observer would have to say that they are both very good, and have also been lucky when they've needed to be. Hey, you don't go undefeated in the NFL for any long stretch without luck, no matter how good you are.
