Tilt.

Sometimes life is sent to try us. Maybe we rode our luck in the early part of the season but last night's bet on Green Bay was tortuous.

Forget the fact that Pittsburgh's last minute drive from deep in their own territory was converted into a touchdown as the time ran out. Forget the fact they completed on 4th and 12 during this drive, forget the fact the review booth had to check that the touchdown was completed within time due to there being only a few seconds on the clock when they snapped the decisive ball.

The hardest bit of luck was that The Steelers who had lost 5 of their last 6 found some incredible form. Ben Roethislberger threw a career high 503 yards and 3 touchdowns and they still only won by a point.

We have every right to feel aggrieved but I still think at the price it was the correct bet. It does now take Nutty Sports to 8 & 4 having been 7 & 0 so we here at Nutty Towers might have to get a smaller turkey this year and cut back on the brandy butter.

There were some incredible matches last night and a good few surprises. The match in San Diego where the Chargers faced off against Cincinnati was a cracker. So soon after the terrible news of Chris Henry's death the game was a fitting tribute to the late wide receiver with Chad Ochocinco dedicating his incredible touchdown to Henry's memory.

The Giants face Washington tonight in a crucial divisional battle. New York will have to win out to have any sort of chance of securing a play off spot but Washington have been playing hard football the last few weeks and will offer real resistance. Unfortunately none of the UK channels have secured the rights for Monday Night Football this season so watching it online is the only solution. I will however be trying to get out of it with a bet on New York -3. They really need to win and they performed well in what was a tremendous shoot out match against The Eagles last weekend. If they play that well again they will beat the Redskins comfortably.

Our next game is on Christmas night so if I don't manage a post before then, Nutty Sports would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

1pt New York Giants -3 11/10 Stan James.
