I went 4-0 straight up and 3-1 ATS last week
This week, nothing but straight favorites and dogs against the number.
Balt + 7 NE (Patriots win)
Colts +7 Denver (Broncos win)
Panthers +10.5 Seattle (Seahawks win)
Cowboys +6 GB (Packers win)
And I'm doing the same thing with the national title game.
Ohio St. +7 Oregon (Ducks win).
Forever Giants:1942 New York Giants(Year 60)
1941 is here.
My WAR calculation is a combination of Baseball-reference and Clay Davenport; I believe it to be the "best" WAR number available for historical comparison. 8 WAR is an MVP quality season. The record is pythagorean adjusted for 162 games.
-All time great Johnny Mize comes to the Giants; they forfeit a September game against a rookie named Warren Spahn when kids (who got free admission for bringing scrap metal to the park) couldn't be kept off the field. It's Danning's last season and Mize/Schumacher are both about to miss the next three years for military service.
