Hank Greenberg Gets Skunked in Week 15!

It had to happen sooner or later, Hank got skunked this week going 0 - 5 against the spread. This basically nuked his yearly average. He was starting to make somewhat of a comeback then this happened.

Hank's logic was good, Its just that there are waaay to many variables in the NFL: 1. Normally you would figure two really good teams in their division would split the season. So the Ravens pick made sense. 2. The Cowboys had so much weirdness last week who wouldn't take the Giants and 3. 3. The Jets should have been playing for a statement game but just barely squeaked one out. 4. I would have stayed away from the Bucs - Falcons game. 5. The Jags stink and the Packers really needed this one. Go Figure.

Steelers  10     Ravens  20  (Ravens  -2)  Wrong Actual: Steelers won 13 - 9 Straight Up: 0 - 1 Against the Spread: 0 - 1

Giants  24     Cowboys  21  (Giants  +3)  Wrong Actual: Cowboys won 20 - 8 Straight Up: 0 - 2 Against the Spread: 0 - 2

Bills  6     Jets  35  (Jets  -7.5)  Wrong Actual: Jets won 31 - 27 Straight Up: 1 - 2 Against the Spread: 0 - 3

Buccaneers  16     Falcons  24  (Falcons  -3)  Wrong Actual: Falcons won 13 - 10 Straight Up: 2 - 2 Against the Spread: 0 - 4

Packers  31     Jaguars  10  (Packers  2)  Wrong Actual: Jaguars won 20 - 16 Straight Up: 2 - 3 Against the Spread: 0 - 5

Hank said he was 40 - 42 on the season. Now he is 40 - 47. Can he still end up with an even season? Stay tuned.
