Things are a little odd in the Crappy household tonight.

The Wife and I have an annual football bet. We pick the winners of every NFL game and every Top 25 college game through the season. A big-ticket dinner is on the line.

The Wife almost always wins, and in fact it’s not uncommon for her to be far enough ahead by this point of the season that the bet is officially over because Uncle Crappy’s been mathematically eliminated.

For whatever reason, I’ve been better than usual this season, to the point where I actually had a one-game lead going into this weekend. And I was certain the Stillers wouldn’t gag away another game to the Jaguars this year. The Wife, being the good Stiller fan she is, predicted that Jacksonville would win again. And since we picked only two games differently this weekend, the outcome of this one is pretty important.

And here we are: The Browns fan swearing because Rothelisberger is completing passes only to the guys on the other team, while the Stiller fan sits quietly, saying “I told you so.”

UPDATE, Sunday, 6:30 p.m.

The Wife was right not only about the Stillers and Jags, but about the Giants beating Tampa Bay as well. Seven more games to pick, and she’s up one.
