Actually, the stress happened last week, when I found myself panicking about the possibility that a team I like (San Francisco) might beat a team I really don't like (New York Giants), but thank goodness, for my calculation and my picks, they didn't. My calculation proved itself again that Monday, when Pittsburgh won, and so far, it's at 75%, while my own picks are at about 58%.
Today, the Packers stressed me out a lot too, with a defense that just couldn't stop the goddamn Chargers. But they came together at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th and Goal at the end of the game to win the game, 27 to 20. I actually jumped up when that defender batted the ball away from the receiver on 4th down, and I know that we can't win them all, but damn it feels good to be 6 & 0.
So then I went home to watch SNF and put in the results from the weekend so far only to discover that, no matter what happens tonight or tomorrow, the Packers are now predicted to go 15 & 1. I started going through my sheets for each week - Bye on 7, still predicted to defeat Denver in 8, lose to Carolina in 9? Damn. Now Carolina is projected to be undefeated, with only New England and Cincinnati in the 16 & 0 party. But if New England loses tonight, they fall to 13 & 3. I can tell you that I won't mind a New England loss, and it definitely looks like a possibility right now.
