Money Line
Part of the beauty of betting the money line is that the bets are based on won-loss straight up. The gambler and the team he bets on have the same goal. That is not the case with the spread. But unfortunately, it is also not the case during the Week of Shame. Oh well, I reserve the right to asterisk these for posterities sake. See the recap for the picks.

Why didn't you pick Dallas over Detroit on the Money Line? Dallas needs to win, and Detroit wants to lose.
Hell, even I picked the Lions to lose!

Oh, RJ, so sad. Now we don't get to see how Millen screws up the first pick.
Fittingly for this season I finished with a grinding loss of 3-5 against the spread.
Also fittingly, though the money line was only 4-6, the big payoffs mean I came out up. Woot!

Exactly how much is the editor's cut?

Yes, but looking on the bright side, we get to see how will Millen screw up the 2nd pick!
