Sucker Bet of the Week

Â
With the college football season finally over (Ohio State at +4 was the sucker bet of the season btw), and the NFL playoffs entering week 2, the Sucker Bet will have to start focusing on basketball and eventually baseball (my specialty).  But until then, my weekly gambling column will be focusing on the NFL and […]

But I do know he’ll intercept Rex Grossman twice.JACKSONVILLE -10.5 over CAROLINAThe Panthers are the Twins of the NFL; when you think they suck, they win. When you think they’re on a roll, […]

Week 7 Picks: The Week Of Huge Lines

Six lines of eight or higher. What happened to parity?
WASHINGTON -8 over ARIZONA
A legit whirlwind of a season for the Cards ends on 7. That metaphor would work a lot better if Tim Rattay’s number was 7, because he sucks. But wait, it’s week 7. Sweet. If the Redskins lose this game, it officially means […]

Goat: Gus […]

JACKSONVILLE -6.5 over HOUSTON
Riding the Texans […]

Week 5 Picks

NEW ORLEANS -3 over CAROLINA
The Saints season is getting washed away faster than…well, New Orleans (not too soon…not too soon…bridge in Minnesota is too soon, but ….not this one). And it might get a whole lot worse without Deuce in there. People are starting to kick around the B word for Reggie Bush. If he […]

Commish’s Week 4 NFL Picks

BALTIMORE -4.5 OVER CLEVELAND
Cleveland had one good outing against a terrible defense and people are giving them the nod. Baltimore is a murderous defense… literally, didn’t Ray Lewis kill a guy?… and splitting time between McNair and Boller is a good idea. Keeps the quarterbacks fresh. Jamal Lewis will be out for blood against his […]
