I didn't have any picks for you guys last week, and I'm sure most of you are thankful since my picks have been horrendous, but I also haven't done a great job of blogging lately. I mean if your gonna have a blogspot, then you might as well make it worth it. So I will get on a more regular blogging cycle.

Week 10
Ok so this isn't going to well. I suck at picking all the games, so here is what we will do to rectify this situation, and possibly give myself a better name. I am only going to pick two college games and four NFL games. Therefore, it is more important for me to win those games, but I also get to sort the NFL games and throw out the ones that I want nothing to do with. I realize that this will give ammo to those of you that follow this, and I totally expect to hear vulgarities thrown at me as well as questions about my manhood and sexual preference. All I can say is bring it on, hopefully I will shut up the haters with a winning week.
COLLEGE
Ohio State (-15.5) vs. Illinois
We all feel like Ohio State is going to lose, and that they aren't that good. At the same time, I think that Illinois is an up and coming team, and Ron Zook has things going in the right direction. You also must not forget that Ohio State will be looking ahead to next week's battle with Michigan. Gimme Illinois in this one. Ohio State 24 Illinois 17 WINNER
Kansas (-6) at Oklahoma State
I am a little surprised that this spread is so low. That makes me like it even more. I picked against Kansas last week, in a game that they gave up nearly 4,000 yards of offense yet won the game by 40 points. I have never seen anything like that in my life, and I think there should be an asterisk next to their record as well as Barry Bonds, the Patriots, Barrack Obama, and Hillary Clinton (obviously because Barack isn't black and Hillary isn't a woman). Mike Gundy is a man on the other hand, in fact he's forty, and he will have his team ready to spoil the honeymoon for the Jayhawks. OSU wins outright. Oklahoma State 34 Kansas 33 LOSER
NFL
Tennessee (-4) vs. Jacksonville
Tennessee is going to turn into a spread covering machine during the second half. They might have the best defense in the league. They have just enough offense to win, mainly because of a steady running game. As long as VY doesn't turn the ball over the pick here is Tennessee. LOSER
Pittsburgh (-9.5) vs. Cleveland
As you all know I love this Cleveland team, and I think if they sneak into the playoffs they are a tough team to face. I think they are getting way too many points. Pittsburgh's defense is good, but can they shut down this explosive of a Browns team. I think they will slow them somewhat, and enough to win the game, but not enough to outrun that many points. Gimme the Browns and the points. Pittsburgh 28 Cleveland 21 WINNER
Arizona (-1.5) vs. Detroit
I like Detroit, and I think they are a better team than the Cardinals, but I don't think they win this one on the road. Arizona is a tough road trip for teams coming two time zones away for some reason. I hate Arizona, and they laid an egg last week, therefore they will get this one in a high scoring affair. Arizona wins late. Arizona 38 Detroit 35 WINNER
Seattle (-10) vs. San Francisco
Seattle is just a terrible team. They are feeding off one of the worst divisions in recent memory and on top of that they have played a weak schedule. Plus the fact that they have major injury concerns. San Francisco tries to win this one in the end, but comes up just short. Seattle 23 San Francisco 21 LOSER
3-3 ATS, 4-2 SU
I continue to suck. At least I didn't lost anyone anything but juice.........

Vegas Baby, Vegas
Some interesting things I found while on my trip. First off, Vegas is such a different place. I mean there are some strange things there. I would say that roughly 60% of the women there have fake breasts, and about 90% of the women have them hanging out of their clothes at all times. I might be cut from a different cloth, but leave a little to the imagination ladies. I mean seriously, I'm not so sure that wearing a top that is cut down to your belly button is the way to go. And some of you, that are showing off what you got, should be hiding what you got. Things have changed so much in this country the last ten years, that it is almost scary to think about what the future holds. Now I realize the vast majority of men my age (26) are thinking the exact opposite of what I am thinking, but I guess I just like my lady to have a little class, you can look totally hot, and show a little, while not letting us in on the whole secret, if ya know what I mean.
Elton "Freaking" John. No doubt, 100% the best concert I have ever been to in my entire life. There was so much to that show, that you really can't even begin to describe it, you just have to see something like that. If you are a music fan at all, or a child of the 60's/70's (which I am not), then this is the show for you. I was a little hesitant, thinking there would be homosexuals around every cornere, but suprisingly, there was not one gay thing that happened at the show. So that was cool. And Elton had some pretty conservative points that he brought up during the show, bashing those who picket funerals of soldiers that we have lost in the war. He talked about how disgusting that was, when he/she had lost their life fighting for our country. I was quite suprised, and very proud at the same time.
On our last night, I had not won at anything the whole weekend. I had only cashed two winning tickets at the sports book, and had lost on craps and "Let It Ride" consistently the whole time. I threw my last fifty that I was willing to lose on a craps table at around 7:15 pm on Sunday night. Some old lady was rolling, and the guys at the table told me that she had been rolling for a good 15 minutes. She rolled for another 10 more, and made me about 25 bucks. Then the dice were passed to a dude across the table from me. He was a man in his late 40's and he honestly looked like a tourist, not a professional dice thrower. Now I have heard that there is an art to throwing craps, but I had never seen it. This man had it down. He threw those dice for a solid hour and fifteen minutes and made everyone at that table money. When he cashed out, he left with around six thousand. He mad me a solid $400. Now I wasn't betting nearly what the others around me were betting, or I would have made a haul like them. But I was extremely happy with my four hundo. It was something I will never forget. So all in all, Vegas was a great time, and I will be back as soon as I get a chance to head out there.
There will be an update blog on this site this week. I have been extremely busy with a new venture that I want to tell everyone about, but just haven't had time. Now that we are back from Vegas, things will slow down a bit for me.

Week 9
Ok so we have had a decent week last week. I wouldn't say I atoned for the week before, but I definitely made some of you think I have a clue. This is an important week for my picks. One reason for that is because I would love to think I have a huge following and I wouldn't want to let anyone down, but the second and most important reason is because I leave for Vegas tomorrow, where we all know gambling on sports is legal. I guess I should have mentioned before, that these picks I dole out every Thursday are under the pretense of "if gambling where legal". So I will study up and hope that the ol' "two legged's" treat me right while I visit Vegas, baby.
OVERALL RECORDS
29-34-1 ATS, 36-29 SU
College
Ohio State (-15.5) vs. Wisconsin
I have said that Wisconsin might have been one of the most overrated teams ever to start the season ranked in the Top 10. With that being said, I think Ohio State is the worst number one team that I can think of in recent years. The Big 10 is just an average conference, where one team has separated itself from the rest. That doesn't really mean that Ohio State is a national powerhouse, it just means they are siting pretty in a year where no one wants to hang on to the number one spot. It seems like a team like Wisconsin, overrated to start the year, will hit its stride late in the year, only to ruin something for someone else. I don't think they will win this one outright because it is in Columbus, but I think they make it interesting. I take Wisconsin and the points against a slightly above average team. Ohio State 17 Wisconsin 10 LOSER
Kansas (-19.5) vs. Nebraska
This is a basketball spread right? I mean the Jayhawks at Phog Allen minus nineteen, I like it. They will get out in front, press, run the basketball, and the Huskers can't stay in the gym with em. Right? Not so fast my friends. We are talking football and do you think the Huskers aren't noticing being nearly a three touchdown dog to Kansas? Kansas? I know that Nebraska is down, but the Jayhawks just don't cover 19 on Nebraska in football. I doesn't happen. I love this game. Take the Huskers and the points and smile the whole game, because you will never not be covering this spread. Nebraska 28 Kansas 17 LOSER
NFL
Washington (-3) at NY Jets
If Washington can put behind them what happened in Foxboro, they will be ok. I could actually see them making a deep playoff run. I think they will be a little angry when they take the field after giving up 52 to start the game against the Patriots. I see Portis early and often. Remember we have a new starting QB for the Jets as well. Washington is a smart choice here. Washington 31 NY Jets 13 PUSH
Kansas City (-2.5) vs. Green Bay
I hate Kansas City, but I am really not that impressed with Green Bay. Not to take anything away from the Packers, but I think Monday Night was more because of how bad the Broncos are than that the Packers are a good team. They can however shut down the running game. I guess I will have to go with Favre, in a game between two teams I would rather not have to put money on right now. Green Bay by default. Green Bay 19 Kansas City 18 WINNER
Tampa Bay (-3.5) vs. Arizona
Arizona is not out of it, and I think that Tampa might slip up a bit. They are no doubt keeping an eye on the Saints, and I think the Saints still have a chance in that division. Meanwhile, the Cardinals are not out of anything yet in a very week NFC West. I can see the Cardinals playing well off their bye week. Give me Arizona here in another close lose at home for the Bucs. Arizona 24 Tampa Bay 21 LOSER
Tennessee (-4) vs. Carolina
Can the Titans keep winning in spite of VY? They are winning solely on a solid running game, defense and Rod "Freaking" Bironas. If Vince has a good game, they will blow someone out. I see it happening this week, mainly because I dropped VY from my fantasy team, and when that happens you know that person will haunt you the rest of the year. Tennessee big. Tennessee 28 Carolina 13 WINNER
Detroit (-3) vs. Denver
When teams underachieve, you always think hey they are going to break out of it and come along. Then they get hit with that knockout blow that they can't come back from. I think that happened last Monday to Denver. I don't think they are a bad team, I just bet they fold the rest of this season, get a good draft pick, and come back strong next season, and without Shanahan. Take Detroit in a game that Denver gives away. Detroit 30 Denver 21 WINNER
Buffalo (-1) vs. Cincinnati
When I first saw this game, I though "whoa this is a nice play here if you go with Cincinnati". Then I found out that JP Losman was going to play and not Trent Edwards. I hate that this game is in Cincinnati. I could see the Bungals laying down the rest of the year, especially with the character of that team. But I think this is one they are going to get. Palmer will have a big day, as will Ocho-Cinco. Cincinnati wins it late. Cincinnati 27 Buffalo 23 LOSER
San Diego (-7) at Minnesota
It's tough to find a hotter team than the Chargers. Minnesota is so bad offensively that it is starting to show on Peterson. The Chargers have a really stout defense, and they should be able to shut down Minnesota and put up big numbers offensively. I like San Diego again. San Diego 34 Minnesota 7 LOSER
Cleveland (-1) vs. Seattle
Why is Cleveland only favored by one over Seattle. Seattle is not a good ball club. They are a decent team in the NFC, but if Cleveland were in the NFC they would be talking about the Super Bowl. Cleveland will have a field day on this team. Cleveland 37 Seattle 21 WINNER
New England (-5) at Indianapolis in The Game of the Century II
I'm not as excited about this game as I thought I would be. The only thing here is that it seems like Belichek is trying to take out his mad frustration on the whole league. The Colts are everything that is to like about an NFL franchise. I can see this game going the way of the Patriots, but I am going to throw you guys a curve ball. I have a theory about the NFL. There is no doubt that this game will be the most gambled on game of the year. More people might throw down money on this than the Super Bowl. The casual fan knows that both of these teams have high powered offenses, and offense outshines defense any day. If you are a little more knowledgeable you will know that they have stout defenses as well. In big game defense always plays a little better than offense. If you are nervous it affects the offense more. So instead of picking a team, I will pick the UNDER because most people will put their money on the over, thinking these two teams score so much. The over/under is 57. New England 28 Indianapolis 24 WINNER
Oakland (-3) vs. Houston
This is a game that I am going to play while in Vegas. Houston is really on the ropes, and Oakland's pass defense is really good, against a quarterback named Sage. I love the Raiders in this one. Oakland 23 Houston 13 LOSER
Dallas (-3) at Philadelphia
This is rivalry game, so it is so hard to pick. I hate these NFC East games. It seems like even the worst team has a chance every week. Dallas is pretty good, but McNabb seems to kind of own them. I think McNabb will make enough plays to lead Philadelphia to an upset of the Cows in their first real test on the road. Philadelphia 23 Dallas 20 LOSER
Pittsburgh (-9) vs. Baltimore
I don't think Baltimore is really great or anything, but I don't think that a team with that good of a defense loses by 9 to Pittsburgh. This is a tough one, because you could have that really close, hard fought game, where a late field goals puts it out of reach and a ten point game for the Steelers. I will stick with my gut feeling here though and take Baltimore and the points. Pittsburgh 13 Baltimore 6 WINNER
Alright that is what I got for ya. I really really hope that I made good picks this week, because if they were good enough, I might never make a blog again. That would be of course because I hit it big and am living in the Bahamas. Good luck!!!!!

If you are nervous it affects the offense more. So instead of picking a team, I will pick the UNDER because most people will put their money on the over, thinking these two teams score so much. The over/under is 57. New England 28 Indianapolis 24 WINNER
Oakland (-3) vs. Houston
This is a game that I am going to play while in Vegas. Houston is really on the ropes, and Oakland's pass defense is really good, against a quarterback named Sage. I love the Raiders in this one. Oakland 23 Houston 13 LOSER
Dallas (-3) at Philadelphia
This is rivalry game, so it is so hard to pick. I hate these NFC East games. It seems like even the worst team has a chance every week. Dallas is pretty good, but McNabb seems to kind of own them. I think McNabb will make enough plays to lead Philadelphia to an upset of the Cows in their first real test on the road. Philadelphia 23 Dallas 20 LOSER
Pittsburgh (-9) vs. Baltimore
I don't think Baltimore is really great or anything, but I don't think that a team with that good of a defense loses by 9 to Pittsburgh. This is a tough one, because you could have that really close, hard fought game, where a late field goals puts it out of reach and a ten point game for the Steelers. I will stick with my gut feeling here though and take Baltimore and the points. Pittsburgh 13 Baltimore 6 WINNER
6-7-1 ATS, 7-7 SU
Alright that is what I got for ya. I really really hope that I made good picks this week, because if they were good enough, I might never make a blog again. That would be of course because I hit it big and am living in the Bahamas. Good luck!!!!!
