I had a busy week filled with lots of other activities, so this report will be short and to the point.
I’ll be back next week with video and the usual write-ups (hopefully).
Scroll down for my picks for NFL Week #7. I’ve made 20 wagers.

Here’s a shout out to Corey Levitan for his excellent research and interesting articles, which –come to find out– I’ve enjoyed for many years living here in Las Vegas. I strongly encourage subscribing to his Facebook feed, especially if you’re a local and/or you enjoy reading about our city’s people and history. CLICK HERE

First, let’s take a moment to reflect upon NFL legend Dick Butkus, who died on Thursday. Butkus was the embodiment of the tough guy middle linebacker. He was the ultimate team player. Butkus played on mostly horrible Chicago Bears teams during his injury-riddled career when the grass and mud were real, when games weren’t postponed because of weather (or worse-played in domes), referees didn’t throw flags every other down, and players played for a love of the game.
What an icon.

I enjoyed a pretty good week in the NFL with the following positives:
(1) more wins (17) than losses (11) and +$675 in profit,
(2) an outstanding week in the Westgate SuperContest, and
(3) a win in the CircaSurvivor contest.
I’d be thrilled if every week forward went just like this.
