2014 Season: Week 12

For those of you thinking, “Hey he didn’t post for weeks 10 and 11!” please get a life, you deserve better than to wonder what I’m thinking about football. Bottom line is weeks 9 through 11 sucked. There was one good bet flagged, that the New England Indianapolis game would go under. It didn’t. Apparently hospitals are bad luck for football.

But for this week there is another good bet. Unless you’re a Green Bay fan… Minnesota will cover the spread by actually beating Green Bay.

2014 Season: Week 9

Week 8 meh. Got 9 picks.

I nailed exactly the Arizona game. And there were no True Failures.

There are, of course, no good bets this week.

2014 Season: Week 8

Week 7 was great! Got 11 picks and no true failures.

Oddly the only game I nailed was the game in Indianapolis, mostly thanks to Cincinnati not bothering to be there.

There are, of course, no good bets this week, however. Though there are a few games that I’m looking forward to seeing.

2014 Season: Week 7

Week 6 blew chunks, except for the good bet I missed. I really have to start paying attention to the numbers, the under bet in Cleveland was a good one and I called it right.

I nailed the Cleveland game and the Oakland game.

For True Failures, you should get some popcorn, there was the Houston game, the Tampa game, Minnesota, Miami, and finally Seattle. Seattle losing to Dallas in Seattle should lead the Comeon! Man! segment…

There are, of course, no good bets this week. I checked twice this time.

2014 Season: Week 6

Week 5 was awesome, I called 13 games right.

I nailed the Giants, San Fran and the San Diego game. Of all those it appears the worst I did was figure on the Jets scoring at least some points.

For True Failures the Tennessee game comes in. I wasn’t off much, just enough to be wrong about the pick, bet and over under. Then Buffalo. Never bet on a B team.

There are, of course, no good bets this week. Where is Carville when you need him. It’s the economy stupid!

My take:

Vegas this week:

E.W.

ISIL says they aren’t going to let their children study math. So I know how to beat them, become arms dealers. Sell them a ten pack of Nerf darts and tell them it’s 500,000 rounds. Yep… Just can’t muster up any fear of these whack jobs.

2014 Season: Week 5

Week 4 as usual was played fully in the Twilight Zone. Despite that I did manage to nail one game, but I think it might be due to the fact that San Fran started in the Twilight Zone.

Then there were the true failures. It would appear that Green Bay stole all of Chicago’s Wheaties and ate them all, maybe with a side of spinach. Then the Jets failed me. And of course, Tampa Bay pointed out that the Steelers really aren’t all that and a bag of chips, did you see that Carolina? And then there was New England. What changed on that team this year? Did they forget how to play football in the off season?

There are, of course, no good bets this week. Continue reading →

2014 Season: Week 3

Even better 2nd week, I’m still top of the family picks and betting is netting a buck sixty on the dollar. But lets talk about Brady. I left him in there figuring, correctly, that they would stomp the Vikings. However, no help to my fantasy team, they managed to do it almost ENTIRELY without Brady. This week they will be eating Raiders for lunch. Brady better fill up.

I nailed the Baltimore game. You know, Pittsburgh isn’t that far from Baltimore but it appears they walked and missed the game. Nailed the Denver game too.

And once again, no, as in nada, jack, squat, oh, zero true failures!

And also again, no free money in Vegas.

My take: Continue reading →

2014 Season: Week 2

Good first week, gambling would have made me 80 cent on the dollar. Shut up nerds! I know that’s statistically breaking even! But I also got 11 of of the games picked, which puts me at the top of the family picks and tied with my niece who is frighteningly good at fantasy football.

I nailed the D.C. game or shall I call them the taboo name: Redskins! Although I wonder what the game would have been like if either of the teams’ offenses had made the game.

The other game I nailed was the Arizona game. Go figure, a Monday night game that went as planned…

Best of all, no, as in nada, jack, squat, oh, zero true failures!

Again this week there’s no free stupid money in Vegas, so no good bets. I’ll let you NYC boys know when the economy perks back up.

My take: Continue reading →

2014 Season: Week 1

NFL Week 1

Well, so much for the economy being back to normal. No one in Vegas is moving the lines enough to take advantage of them. The computer has scheduled two ass whoopins: Buffalo and Cleveland both go down by 8 points. Ok so it’s more of a whack on the knuckles with a ruler, except there ain’t no nuns in Pittsburgh or Chicago.
