Don's Crystal Ball Week 3 Picks

D'BOYZ, let's look at Denver-Cincinnati as an extreme example of luck in a football game. We had a play that decided the game that will not happen even 3 times if the exact same route was thrown 1000 times against the same coverage. It decided the game.

Did the people who bet Denver straight up deserve the win? Not necessarily. Did people who bet Cincinnati deserve the win? Not necessarily. Cincinnati's entire argument about out-playing Denver boils down to completely befuddling Kyle Orton and having a lone nice drive at the end of the game. If not for that last drive, the Stokley play never happens. It's just Kyle Orton kneeling on a ball after playing awful.

I'm not a betting man, but I picked Cincinnati in that game as well. It's okay though, I can't really pick games either.
