Football Friday: Comin' Around

I didn't give the refs a standing ovation last night, but I'm glad the bullshit from the first three weeks is over. When $250 million dollars switches sides on the final play of Monday Night Football because of the refs, changes need to be made. 

That said, I got a push out of the Jets, in overtime, against Miami. I needed to get that losing stink off me. Watching Sanchez and Sons struggle to put away the Dolphins after injuring Reggie Bush early was 4-plus hours of head-shaking. 

Now that receivers can't beg for pass-interference on every pass over 20 yards, I feel like things are starting to come around in my favor. 

Last Week: Push (Jets -3)

Anyone looking for a receiver? 

Season: 0-2-1

Cincinnati Bengals (-2.5) @ Jacksonville Jaguars: 
The Bengals rush defense isn't that good and MJD looks to be in shape for the Jags, but Andy Dalton, AJ Green, Jermaine Gresham, and the Bengals offense can put points on the board quickly. Blaine Gabbert and Justin Blackmon are still developing and not only getting comfortable in the offense, but with each other as well. I don't see the Jags keeping up with the Bengals. 

FML! Is it Football Friday already?!

Lookin for MIRACLE!

No NFL team wants to start off 0-2 and picking games is no different. I'm embarrassed. I'm punch drunk, on my last legs, looking for a miracle. But like Jerry once told George, "If everything you know is wrong, that means the opposite would have to be right!" Gold.

Why not adopt a little Costanza into my life. It can't get any worse. 

Last Week: L 
Season: 0-2


NY Jets (-3) @ Dolphins:

I'm backing The Sanchize and Tebow not so much because I like them as I'm betting against the Dolphins. All the games on the board this week are close, which means the oddsmakers saw the craziness of week 2 and made severe adjustments. The largest line is New Orleans -8.5 over KC Chiefs, followed closely by Dallas -8 over Tampa Bay. I actually kind of like Tampa Bay this year as my NFC team because of Schiano being a former Hurricane and I have Josh Freeman and Doug Martin on my fantasy team. Judging by my recent stink over the last couple weeks, I don't want to jinx them, so the Jets are the pick of the week. My Dolphin fans/friends should be happy about this.....

Football Friday

Last Week: L
Season: 0-1

Arizona Cardinals @ New England Patriots (-13.5)

Patriots should score at least 35 points on EVERY NFL defense. Arizona is coming East for a 1 o'clock game and they're starting Kevin Kolb. That's it. Patriots all day even if this line got up to 16.5!

Hope you didn't put the mortgage on Buffalo

I didn't start CJ Spiller either, despite picking Buffalo, and he went off for 38 points in my league. The good news? Fred Jackson can't walk anymore so CJ's the #1 back! Woo. Hit the music:

Football Friday!

*Betting on Sports is illegal throughout most of the United States and should be practiced legally in places with proper licenses*

I've done football previews in the past, maybe some of you have read them, but with the abundance of websites out there giving you their expertise, I've decided to put my money where my mouth is (again). 

Every Friday, for the rest of the season, I will provide ONE pick, against the spread, that is the best on the board. I say it every season: Anyone can pick a winner, but a winner can pick against the spread. I was 8-3 [ATS] in the playoffs last year (look it up on here). 

Friday gives you time to jump on the line if you like it, or do your own research, think about it, and see if it the line shifts in your favor before the game. 

Week 1:

Buffalo (+3) @ NY Jets

Buffalo wins the game outright, on the road, while possibly injuring The Sanchize, simultaneously setting off Tebow-mania and ESPN creating their new channel, The Ocho, featuring weekly physical challenges between Sal Palantonio, Shelley Smith, and Ed Werder* to see who covers Tebow for the week, starting with his morning piss. 

*I got Shelly Smith beasting Sal Pal & E-Dub, especially when she gets back up to her playing weight. Plus she's got more sexual flame burning in her than Fireman Ed. Couple that with her physique and Tebow is gator-bait.
