Evil’s Week 3 Preview
Picked another 12 games last week. I had one perfect game, I called the score exactly in the Panthers Buffalo game. Sadly, I’m a Panthers fan. Amazingly I got the bets both right in Kansas City. After remarking how Kansas City seems to be playing better, my Queen informed me that they have a new coach: Andy Reid. Well duh I guess. One day I’ll have time to watch news, when that happens I’ll take up watching college football.
I picked little brother to take his Giants over Denver. The computer doesn’t understand how it is to be the oldest brother. I do. I think that Peyton should have tousled Eli’s hair at the end of the game and said, “Better luck next time.”
This week, there’s one good bet. Cringe if you lay money down on this.
The bet is that Jacksonville’s coach convinces his team that they are, in fact, an actual NFL football team and not some bozos who showed up for good free seats to a football game. If the team shows up they will… well, they’ll get creamed. But! Not as bad as Vegas thinks they’ll get creamed. On the other hand, if I’m wrong and they have to make the Jaguars take the field at gunpoint, then the boys in Vegas will wonder why the spread was so tight at 19.5 points.

I’m rooting for Jacksonville today, cause I feel them. I wish someone would point a gun at me to make me take the field Monday so I can do the Eastwood line, “Make my day.”
