I Drag Another One Down With Me
Cool, Jason Bott from work decided to start fake gambling with me! I'll be posting his picks along with mine. He's starting here on Week 6, so I've got a $900 lead on him.
Reviewing my picks for Week 6:
Buffalo (-1) at Detroit - $300
Oakland at Denver (-14.5) (MGM Mirage Line) - $100
Chicago (-10.5) at Arizona (MGM Mirage Line) - $200
BOJ's Week 6 Stake: $1900
BOJ's Week 6 Wagered: $600
And on to Jason's:
Seattle (-3) at St. Louis - $100
Giants at Atlanta (-3) - $50
Carolina (+3) at Baltimore - $100
Oakland at Denver (-15) - $200
Jason's Week 6 Stake: $1000
Jason's Week 6 Wagered: $450
Far be it from me to critique anyone else's picks, but I don't mind his Seattle pick, but I stayed away because of the Shaun Alexander injury. Still, the Seahawks are a better team and should come away victorious, three points not too many to give up.
As I stated last week, I think the Giants are a talented mess. I keep waiting for them to implode. They put it together last week against the 'Skins, but I could certainly see them falling to Atlanta on the road.
Baltimore is looking more and more overrated. Taking the Panthers and getting 3 points against a team with no offense seems like a good pick.
My feelings on the Oakland/Denver game are public. Jason seems a little more enthused about giving up 15 points than I did. He also isn't as good a shopper as me. I found the game for 14.5 points at MGM Mirage's sportsbook. For the record, I get my spreads from Vegas.com.
And Jason lead me to this letter sent into Bill Simmons - The Sports Guy:
He's probably right and so is Jason for putting more of the fake moolah on the game than I did.
We'll see what Sunday brings.

Dave from Washington: "The Raiders suck so bad that they are 15-point underdogs to a team that scores 12.2 points a game. This has to be a sports first. The sickest part? The Broncos are a mortal lock to cover."
