Until that unwise Monday gamble on Tampa Bay at home we were 5-0 straight-up and 5-0 against the spread on wild-card weekend, bull’s-eyeing outright upsets by the Jaguars and Giants and accurately calling both Dolphins-with-points and the 49ers’ cover. Kept muttering to myself, “Where you been all year?” with the dazzling playoff debut chasing a tough regular season for us. Nothing to do now but keep it rolling with a perfect quartet in the divisional round!
