Touchdown Dance: Week 13 Confidence Picks Challenge & Spread Selections Re-Cap

Another NFL weekend in the books, this time I had a good time reviewing the Confidence Picks Challenge, but wasn't very happy in reviewing our Spread Selections for this past weekend's action. Here's a look at how we did.

Here's the picks from us here at Touchdown Dance.
Confidence Picks Challenge Selections (Week 13)
16-San Diego @ Cleveland (San Diego Wins)
15- Detroit @ Cincinnati (Cincinnati Wins)
14- Oakland @ Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh Wins)
13- New Orleans @ Washington (New Orleans Wins)
12- Denver @ Kansas City (Denver Wins)
11- San Francisco @ Seattle (Seattle Wins)
10- Houston @ Jacksonville (Jacksonville Wins)
9- Tampa Bay @ Carolina (Carolina Wins)
8- Philadelphia @ Atlanta (Philadelphia Wins)
7- St. Louis @ Chicago (Chicago Wins)
6- New England @ Miami (New England Wins)
5- Tennessee @ Indianapolis (Indianapolis Wins)
4- NY Jets @ Buffalo (Buffalo Wins)
3- Baltimore @ Green Bay (Green Bay Wins)
2- Minnesota @ Arizona (Minnesota Wins)
1- Dallas @ NY Giants (Dallas Wins)

Two weeks was definitely enough losing for us here at Touchdown Dance. We came away victorious within the Confidence Picks challenge tallying 109/136 even with the few very surprising outcomes that were involved this past weekend. Don't give up my fellow competitors as we here at Touchdown Dance are beatable any given week, but just not three in a row.

Spread Selections (Week 13)

NY Jets @ Buffalo (+3) (37) Take the Bills (+3) and the over. NY Jets- 19 Buffalo- 13 Total- 32 The close division match-up was much more defensive than I felt it would be which cost me both numbers. (0-1-0), (0-1-0)

Philadelphia @ Atlanta (+5.5) (44) Take the Eagles (-5.5) and the under. Philadelphia- 34 Atlanta- 7 Total- 41 I knew the Falcons would be worse minus Matty Ice, but who knew it would be that bad. Good for me though where I won against both numbers. (1-1-0), (1-1-0)

Tampa Bay @ Carolina (-6.5) (40) Take the Buccaneers (+6.5) and the over. Carolina- 16 Tampa Bay- 6 Total- 22 Another division battle where defense was prominent costing me both numbers once again. (1-2-0), (1-2-0)

St. Louis @ Chicago (-9) (41) Take the Rams (+9) and the over. Chicago- 17 St. Louis- 9 Total- 27 Thank goodness for bad coaching decision by Lovie Smith with his attempted fake field goal which kept me winning the spread, but the lack of Bears offense cost me the over. (2-2-0), (1-3-0)

Tennessee @ Indianapolis (-6.5) (47) Take the Titans (+6.5) and the under. Indianapolis- 27 Tennessee- 17 Total- 44 The Colts defense came to play which cost me the spread, but I did net the under. (2-3-0), (2-3-0)

Denver @ Kansas City (+4.5) (38.5) Take the Broncos (-4.5) and the under. Denver- 44 Kansas City- 13 Total- 57 Denver's back on a role, but Matt Cassell is regressing. The latter cost me the under, but the Broncos resurgence got me the spread. (3-3-0), (2-4-0)

New Orleans @ Washington (+9.5) (47) Take the Redskins (+9.5) and the under. New Orleans- 33 Washington- 30 Total- 63 The Redskins kicker cost them the game, but Jason Campbell and crew kept me in the spread. The unlikely high scoring affair made me miss again on the under. (4-3-0), (2-5-0)

Oakland @ Pittsburgh (-13.5) (37.5) Take the Steelers (-13.5) and the under. Oakland- 27 Pittsburgh- 24 Total- 51 So much for bringing hell like Steelers head man promised for all of their opponents. The loss cost me the spread and the under. (4-4-0), (2-6-0)

Houston @ Jacksonville (+1) (46.5) Take the Jaguars (+1) and the under. Jacksonville- 23 Houston- 18 Total- 41 We can always count on the Texans to net us both numbers late in the season. (5-4-0), (3-6-0)
