The loud and hot RCA dome was too much for the stretched Pats defense to handle but it was a great run! And Number 2 Ain’t Bad!

And met #57, an old friend.

And made a new friend in Channel 5 Sports Anchor Mike Lynch, who was my call in guest today to discuss the Patriots, the Indianapolis game and whatever came to mind. The Patriots All Access host brought his talent to the Portsmouth area airwaves on 106.1 FM and your streaming audio feed (free podcast subscription available at odeo.com or iTunes, search podcasts “Left Right And Correct” or “Dan Belforti”).

Lynch consistently offered TheCorrectAnswer to many complex public policy questions.

Due to Pats and Saints losses last week, I went from Best Year Ever to having 2006 as Worst Season Ever! Although still up $704 plus several thousand in cash bonuses from overseas sportsbooks (be careful which ones, osga dot com), the Colts and Bears were NOT selected as our Super Bowl picks.

The Pats, Saints and several others that we felt were under valued in the preseason will not win, so significant NFL futures losses will be realized after Sunday’s game. These losses, fortunately, are a small fraction of the gains made during the previous 3 seasons. Good luck on Sunday, and be(t) smart! (Are you also keeping track of YOUR wins and losses each week/season?)

YTD 2006: Top Pics: 20-31, All Picks: 44-48, 48%. Actual ROI: 10.6% (before Super Bowl Futures losses)

2003 thru 2006: Belforti Bros Top Picks of the Week: 89-72, 55%

Super Bowl Prediction: Colts 40, Bears 17
