And with that 10% gone, Vegas wins, as usual. Pro football is incredibly tough. Now the Pillow man is pretty incredible. He has managed to get below 50% fairly regularly. So use his picks and go opposite. College is much easier.

Patrick thats pretty much why being so consistently mediocre is a drag, you can't turn your picks around and do any better.
Its worth the 120 bucks a year though to participate in it. We pay 10 bucks a week for the first 12 weeks of the 17 weeks. 95 guys or gals in it this year. Weekly prizes of 100 bucks for most winners and 13 bucks for low. Year end prizes for top ten, lowest guy, longest straight, most common numbers, etc.
Also get two parties at the place with open bar and free food for 3 hours, one of them on Super Bowl Day.
The way I see it for 120 bucks you get to root for and follow every football game played from seasons beginning to end, and two pretty nice parties. Even though I never get back a quarter of the 120 I spend, its worth it.
