Fake Gabling: Week 10
"What Are We Doing?"
Jason and I offered up a total of 9 picks for you this week. We, of course, only do this for entertainment puposes (real gambling is bad. You shouldn't gamble on sports, m'kay?). I sure hope the fine readers of The Globex Corporation Newsletter were entertained. I can't speak for Jason, but it was certainly tough for me.
Read the first sentence following this one, then read nothing else.
I picked the Bills over the Colts, yes sir, I'm some sort of fake gamblin genius!!!!
Apparently there was a reason that the Steelers were favored and Chiefs/'Phins was a pick 'em.
I knew that Ray Lewis was out for the Ravens' defense, but I figured they could shut down the Titans. The Titans. The team that picked up Kerry Collins before the start of the season and started him for a couple of games. You'd think the Ravens would shut down the Titans. I'm going to appeal this one. Those couldn't have been the Titans playing today. Something is fishy here...
Atlanta, at home, can't beat the hapless Browns. Never mind covering the spread. They lost. This is my pick in the NFC South, and they can't beat the Browns. Do I know anything about football?
Jason's picks were no better:
I liked Jason's picks. Hell, he got the Chiefs as one point 'dogs. What a brilliant pick! That's money in the bank, right?
No comment on the other games except for this: What is up with Denver? The Raiders pretty much out played them all day. They were lucky to get out of that asylum with a win. How does any of this work?
Screw it, next week I'm picking Cricket or Rugby games if I can find spreads. I understand those games at least as well as I understand football.....
