I'm SOOOO MEDIOCRE at picking pro football. Every year I get in a pool at a bar and restaurant here where you have to pick every game every week against the spread. I'M ALWAYS AT .500!!!! Just one year I wanna contend for the top ten who get prizes. Hell I'd love to be the worst, even the last place guy gets a prize. I vowed this year to really pay attention and study the games.
60 games played so far this year, and what am I against the spread in my pool? 30 wins 30 losses. ARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outside of last Sunday afternoon the NFL has been taking me to the woodshed, as you see by checking out my Foo'Ball thread.

However, I played a 4 teamer - Browns pick'em, Redskins +130, Pats +6 and Rams -6.5. It came down to the Rams down by 1 with 2:30 left and a touchdown then a two point conversion. Then the Lions almost killed me on a botched pass interference call at the 1. Fortunately for me the ball was tipped and uncatchable. Talk about heart attack city. That call could have robbed me of $1110.


Doing OK with college.

Oh and take the colts -18.5 against the hapless titans.
