Monday Results

Frustrating evening all round, but sometimes that's the game.

As soon as Sunderland v Everton kicked off it looked and sounded more like a cup tie than a league game and with two goals in the first 25 minutes under 2.5 was looking dodgy at best.

Meanwhile, to the south of Madrid, a goal from Real Zaragoza's Argentinian striker Nicolas Bertolo gave his side a half time lead for the first time this season against Getafe - although former Zaragoza striker Adrian Colunga equalised from a penalty shortly after half time and the game finished in a draw, that was the only positive result of the night.

Still, I won this week's game in the NFL fantasy league I play in (6-5 for the season) - and I'll have a team next week, which is more than can be said about former Vikings coach Ray Childress. Minnesota fitted part of the profile of potential Superbowl winners that I posted a couple of weeks ago, but their decline this season is arguably on a par with the meltdown in Dallas.

Looking back at the profile - and taking into account the two games played since I posted it - there's been some movement, but the 8-2 Atlanta Falcons are currently a very tradeable 11.5 (10/1) on Betfair. It might be worth waiting until after their game with the Packers (7-3) on Sunday before making a move.
