Reality finally sets in. After two great weeks against the spread,
I got killed last week. Hopefully I'll do better again this week.
The Bears won the first half but lost the game again, and now they
need for Washington or Philly to really mess up just to make the 
playoffs.  Does anyone know how the tie-breakers work in order to 
choose the playoff teams.  I know head-to-head record is first, but
since Chicago doesn't play Philly or Washington, I'm wondering what's
next. I think it's record vs. same opponents, but I need to make sure
so I can figure out what the Bears need to make it. (A lot, I know.)
E-mail me if you know how it works. I changed the computerized spreads so
they are rounded to the nearest tenth of a point instead of a half of
a point. This will keep some of the ties that have been happening from
happening again. Well, anyway, on to the picks!

Bills      22 at Dolphins   20    -1  -1.5  Bills       45.5   42.4   Under

* - Since the computer picks Indy by 1/2-pt, they are picked to win straight.
    I round the scores to the nearest point, and both turned out to be 17.

Bears anti woof-
BEARS GO 0-16 FOR THE SEASON!!!!!!!!
PREVIOUS 4 WINS ARE FORFEITED VOLUNTARILY!!!!!!!!!
BEARS FIRE DITKA AND REPLACE HIM WITH THE GUY THAT INSULTED HIM!!!!!!!!
BEARS PLAY SEATTLE FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON AND LOSE EVERY GAME!!!!!
BEARS PERFECT THE FIRST DOWN AUDIBLE LEADING TO AN INTERCEPTION OFFENSE!!!
BEARS DEFENSE STARTS TO PLAY THE FIRST HALF AS WELL AS THEY DO THE SECOND,
RESULTING IN A 52423-0 LOSS, BREAKING ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS FOR DEFEAT!!!!
BEARS JOIN NCAA-DIVISION 3 AND GO 0-11!!!!!
WILLIAM PERRY GAINS BACK THE WEIGHT HE LOST PLUS AN EXTRA 400 POUNDS,
AND WHILE SETTING IN THE THREE POINT STANCE, HE LOSES HIS BALANCE,
ROLLS AROUND AND CRUSHES THE WHOLE BEAR DEFENSE!!!!!
BEARS DECIDE NOT TO PUT THE DEFENSE ON THE FIELD FOR A GAME,
AND THE RESULT IS THE BEST BEAR GAME OF THE YEAR, A 29845-2 LOSS!!!!
BEARS SCORE THE 2 POINTS ON A SAFETY WHEN A SEATTLE PLAYER, FEELING SORRY
FOR THEM DECIDES TO RUN TO THE WRONG ENDZONE!!!!!
BEARS RANK #1 IN AP, UPI, AND CNN/USA POLLS FOR WORST TEAM EVER!!!!

Hope this works! I won't be able to stand the post-season without the Bears!
