All or nothing pays off again…barely…Shawn got his sole win on a 1pt margin from the Saints/Raiders Over…and the 5 people who took the Packers to cover won by a ½pt margin when Crosby kicked a Field Goal with :19 seconds left to play…But a ½pt win is worth the same as a runaway cover in our books…16-5-3 is good for +$860 to the Virtual Bankroll which now sits at $5,460…Burgess keeps his streak alive with no losing weeks on the year…and he is 9-0 over the last 3 weeks…Miller took a push from the Ravens this week to fall back ½ a game and is 8-0-1 over that span…Riley runs 3-0 again and sits 8-1-0 over the last 3 weeks…Hunter runs 3-0 on his NCAA picks and is just $30 into the red…Will they both be facing off with the Michigan/THE OSU outcome?…
