    Good bet on the over on Saints/Raiders, although it is looking dud right now.

    I have a $20 4 teams parlay ticket on the favors against the spread:

    Cowboys -10
    Dolphins -3.5
    Eagles -10.5
    Bengals -3

    Fucking Lions are fucking with me at the moment.

    Definite dud. Won't be betting the pack now. Almost locks in the cover.

    You are upper middle class and you wont spend $500 on the Packers? Man, you are even cheaper than Ted Thompson once was in free agency.

    How many burgers do you have to flip to make $115?

    $7.25/hr times 10/hrs/day = $72.5 minus 20% (Uncle Sams take, insurances) = $58/day.

    About two days worth of burgers, if my math is correct.

    If your math isn't correct, maybe that's why you have a hard time getting that all-elusive accounting job.

    Ain’t no math genius, and I’ve forgotten all the math shit I learned as a student, but I was above average at math while institutionalized. That’s why I idiotically opted to major in accounting and economics as a porn addiction began to cloud my creative mind (went to college seeking to major in English).

    That being said, unless one is a rocket scientist or a math teacher/professor, one ain’t even need to be average at math in to succeed in today’s cockerel, computerized world - the AI does all the calculations nowadays.

    The reason I ain’t an accountant is obvious as fuck: no pig would hire me. Hell, I once went to a 2nd interview for an entry level accounting job and aced that shit. They asked me what my salary should be. I was like, y’all listed the starting salary at $65,000/yr for someone with CPA potential (I have passed the CPA exams at that point), due to the lack of experience, I would be willing to start at $40,000. Then I provided them with a thorough analysis of the many stocks they could invest in with the $25,000 they would save with me opting to be underpaid. Said that $25K investment could end up paying my salary for the next 5 years.

    A few days later, I received a “we regret to inform you that we’re fucking elsewhere” letter.

    After idiotically pissing away even more frogskins at the poker tables, I put $30 on this parlay:

    Packers -3.5
    Packers-Lions - under (50)
    Patriots -5.5
    Rams +3

    $30 for a chance to win $368.

    Am I an idiot?

    Am I reading that right? You took the under 50 total points? I'm thinking you might get burned on that one. 72-0 is more than 50, right? Seriously, 45-27 sounds about right to me.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    Anything can happen on any given Sunday, but if historical data is to be believed - something the so-called experts love to cite - both teams should score less than 50.

    Packers O, especially the passing O, is more impotent than Tony ODay without Viagra. The Bills game inspired the Packers to pound the rock all day. Packers D is good for one half of domination, and it hasn’t been able to stop the run since the Bucfuckneers game. Lions scored 6 points, 6 points before putting up 27 against the Fins. All in all, both teams will be seeking to pound the rock - Packers b/c they lack fire power at WR; the Lions b/c the Packers can’t stop the run. Rock pounding = clock milking = low scoring.

    Houston is a monster home dog against an NFC team. This is the Time of the season where the hype gets to be too much take the 14 book it

    I'm going to make a small bet on the dolphins this weekend. That line makes zero sense to me. With the dolphins you have a loaded offense that seems to be clicking against the bears defense that is traded away it's two best players. And the bears offense that's completely dysfunctional. What am I missing the dolphins should be laying seven minimum

    Bears offense has picked up a bit the last 2 games. The reason is their running game has been a juggernaut, with 240+ rushing yards each game. Miami run defense is tough, but if Bears can run ball, they might be able to keep this one close. Miami offense should have a big advantage though if the Bears can't keep them off the field.

    I think it plays out like the eagles. The bears will play inspired first half, but talent comes through in the 2nd half. I think the only chance for bears to cover is a late TD in garbage time.
