I think Biggie has a time machine. He picks an occasional loser just to avoid suspicion.

Be sure to lose a game around midseason to take the pressure off.

A lot of folks, including SM, have taken NO +4.5.

SM goofed with that line.

Shit happens.

[Mikey]

I don't usually check the spreads here against the published ones, but this one looked funny. Oh well, too late to change. The Giants will probably kick ass.

[Softball Bat]

No picks from S. Jobs this week.

[Biggie]

NO +4.5

Classy

[Dr_Phibes]

Oh well, too late to change.

Why would you? A 5.5 point fave is now a 4.5 dog. I thought Rattler was starting and checked

I wonder what KC Dave would think.

[Mikey]

MIA wins in OT!!

Oh…anyone who picked them is fucked.
Sorry about that.

[Softball Bat]

Sorry about that.

That was me.

[Mikey]

Fucking Chiefs.

First time in my life, literally, pulling for the Chiefs. So they find a way to win and still fuck me over.



Never again.

Shit happens.

Yeah, I flubbed the line. I was looking at the odds for Sunday's games and saw the Aints were +4.5 and thought to myself "What fucking idiot picks the Giants as favorites against any team?" Clearly the answer is in the mirror.

My mistake, friends. I'll try harder next week.

[StrawMan]

Thanks for running the show and herding the cats, S_M!

[Softball Bat]

Thanks for running the show and herding the cats, S_M!

Ditto.

[Softball Bat]

The Sunday night game (LAC @ KC) was pretty good stuff, if you're an "old school" football fan.

There is really no old school football left, but this game was as close as you'll get.

Two great coaches who have coached their teams extremely well.
Hard-nosed, tough, smart football on both sides.
19-17 final score.
