Welcome to the last installment of Picking Them Games. Next week: there is no football of any kind so I'm probably gonna need another hobby. And apparently, hanging out in bookstores and hitting on chicks with glasses does not constitute a hobby (who knew?). For the record, I am 4-4 against the spread these fine playoffs. Much like Pete Carroll though, I cannot win on Sunday. I was 4-0 for all the Saturday games and 0-4 for all the Sunday games. It's eerie.
And not for nothing but today's Sunday. Adjust any and all bets accordingly. Home teams in CAPS
CHICAGO (+4) over Packers
I hate and I do mean I hate picking the Cutler led Bears to cover this spread but the lack of respect they're getting is pretty amazing. The Packers are obviously peaking at the right time and playing some quality football. Cutler can throw five TDs and/or five picks on any given Sunday but still…
It just seems like Vegas is begging you to take the Pack here. And I don't like it when Vegas begs. You can't trust Vegas.
Jets (+3.5) over STEELERS
There's no way the Jets are winning this game. But there was no way they were winning last week and they found a way to mop the dirty convenience store floor with the Patriots (man that was fun too watch). fter last week, I just cannot in good conscience, pick the Jets to lose anything ever again.
I'm hungover and I need a nap. Games don't start until like 4 PM.
So I guess it's time to search for that allusive female that offers an amazing body, spectacular face and an interest in the written word.
Wish me luck.
I'll need it.
