Week 12 of the NFL season came to an end on Monday night, and the question on everybody’s my mind was “Will I be able to keep the hot streak alive?”. The answer to that question was both yes and no. What do I mean by that? Let’s take a look at how I did in Week 12

When all was said and done, I ended up going 7-5-1 in Week 12. Not great by any means, but I’ll take a positive week over a negative week 10 times out of 10 and for obvious reasons. The 2 losses that really hurt this week were The Lions somehow managing to lose to The Redskins to give that pathetic franchise their first win of the season, and also my beloved Patriots by deciding to not kick a last second field goal at the end of the game. Come on Belichick, think of the gamblers!
Like I said before, I won money this week so I can’t complain. This week’s results brings me NFL record on the season to 70-104-1. I’m slowly but surely digging myself out of the hole that the first few weeks put me in, and all I’m asking is to break even, or at least close to it. Will I accomplish this goal? Probably not, but if you don’t have goals you don’t have anything.
