LBJ was in the original top 5, but reading his bio details made me think he wasn't quite as big-time Texan as I originally thought, nor particularly interested in football.

I put Clinton before Reagan, and Kennedy may be a position or two too high.

Watching football with LBJ could be something. Huge Oilers fan (I assume.)

I really hate having to bet on the Raiders here, but I've gotten less and less worried about it over the week (and yet I've run repeated simulations of the matchups and cherrypicked the outcome that has the least money on the Oakland game – in some iterations it's up around $35 just due to random fluctuations) because they haven't moved the line at all despite all the money flowing in on PHI and they haven't even touched the juice. I'm still sure I'll lose the money…but at least I won't stress over it during the next couple of days.

Good call on Reagan – I think he comes in at a solid #6 – followed by Taft at #7 based on the food factor.

I bet Ronald Reagan would have been a great person to watch a game with. Probably would have hauled out one of those floor-length fur coats and a fedora.

I'm still licking my wounds from the Monday night game...stupid wildcat formation...thank god for Peyton Manning though.

The games that look good to me this week are:

Seattle over Arizona. Wow, did Hasselbeck ever look good last week...
Denver over San Diego. Ok, so I'll take the points for one more week. I think SD's defense is really suspect.

I'm really puzzling over the Raiders game. I almost always ignore all games where the spread is double-digits because with such a big spread, any little random even could send you down in flames.

But the Raiders look terrible. I mean really terrible. Epically terrible. So bad that, as a Broncos fan, I even feel sorry for any Raiders fan. So, maybe I'll take a small flyer on the Iggles and donate any winnings to the "Buy Al Davis Out" fund...
