Finally! A positive week. Well, positive on a scale of maybe-this-damned-slump-has-ended-at-last. The 8-6 mark straight-up actually was solid in a brutal week. For example, it would have led the 11-person ESPN Experts Panel, where the records ranged from 7-7 to 4-10. Against the spread we rolled a thumbs-up 7-5-2, with a pair of games off the ...Read more
