Yeah, I was on the Dbacks with you last night. I felt like the snakes pen reached down my throat and ripped out my spine, Mortal Kombat style.

Look, let all the other squareballs in your pools pick the safest-looking crap each week. Watch them drop like flies as they do it. Don't be one of those flies. As it is, I'm leaning heavily on taking the points against all three teams you listed. In fact, I think the Lions are going to shock many of us by starting out the season 1-0.
Duuuuuude........... Come on now... The lions are and always have been HORRIBLE.... The Saints are being picked to win the super bowl... NO WAY IN HELL DETROIT WINS THIS GAME... I know they say "any given sunday" but come on......
I would be willing to bet head to head anyone trying to take the Lions to BEAT the saints week one... BRING IT

man it would have been nice to score some runs there.... now we have kung fu panda leading off and i don't like the looks of that....
SD stranding too many runners... that is never a good sign... especially when it's this close...
when you have opportunities to bury a team and you don't, it turns out bad for you most of the time...

Yes, I know how these pools work, and yes, that's how I feel. The biggest home favorites lose at home more often than people think.

Haren could easily pitch 7 outstanding innings and then leave it up to the same crew that torched my cash last night. Them Dodgers is some tricky, tricky mofos.
although painful as last night was, the visual of someone's cash literally being torched, is quite amusing.

2 years ago, Bator advised me to play 4 dogs one Sunday
I seriously thought he was certifable but I had been watching his picks and he seemed to know his shit.
So I bet the max with my bookie on all (4) games and low and behold everyone of them hit.
It was my best moment as an amateur gambler until I pissed it all away on College Bowl Games
anyways, he has a knack...he is not always right but I would put up my money on his plays anyday

Doc, I participated in an NFL pool last season and I couldn't stand having to submit my picks by Wednesday or Thursday. That's like asking Michelangelo to have his painting done by Wednesday or Thursday. Okay, maybe not. Anyway, it was frustrating because most weeks, by the time Sunday morning rolled around, I no longer liked at least one of my picks. And how did I ultimately get eliminated? By breaking down one fine week and going with a 13.5-point home favorite!! And DOWN THEY WENT!!!!

i mean it's not like they revamped their lineup over the offseason... i just dont see that happening... cover the spread? maybe... win outright? no chance in hell
Potential Saints moneyline bettors are currently being asked to lay 1/8 on this "no chance" lock, but I think the Lions have a much better shot than 1 in 8.
