Remember Swingers? You should because it's fucking awesome. Anywho, since this site has a large dedication to gambling (because that is also awesome) Siegs and I have decided to do picks for each weekend. It'll be a Gumbo of both College and NFL picks. Now back to Swingers - my picks will be called 'Mikey's because just like Mikey, 'they're fuckin' money and you don't even know it'. Is that dumb? Yes, but I like it and it's partly my blog/podcast so sorry folks.
Lines may change after I've checked them, and as always the home team is in all caps.
Ohio State (-12) over MICHIGAN - people might still consider this a rivalry, but in order to have a rivalry one of the teams can't be awful. Let's look at the two teams - Michigan has been porous all season and OSU just beat Iowa to essentially take the Big Ten crown. My best guess is the Buckeyes are walking around like Big Dick Swinging thinking they won't lose another game this season... and as much as it pains me to say - they might now. Even though I like the -12, it's important to remember you can't spell C_ck _ _cker without OSU.
Oregon (-6) over ARIZONA - Oregon has proved that Ducks do actually fly together, and in this case it will be to another big Pac 10 win.
Penn St. (-3) over MICHIGAN STATE - in the words of Joe Pa - 'come to Penn staaAAAAAAATE'
Colts (-1) over RAVENS - the Colts just won a giant game against the Patriots and I'm not completely sold on the Ravens yet. They have an old defense (that is still good, don't get me wrong) and an offense that I don't trust (other than Ray Rice). I mean at this point, it's getting dumb to bet against Peyton 'Cooper is Better' Manning or the DSRL.
PATRIOTS (-11) over NY Jets - before Mark Sanchez finishes blow drying his chest hair the Pats may have already put up 21. Cut-Off sweatshirt was publicly shamed last week and I can see them taking it out on the Jets in the worst possible way. I described it in the podcast but I see the Pats going to the 'Jake Schnitzler Offense'. For those of you who did not attend The U (University of Wisconsin LaCrosse) the Jake Schnitzler offense is when you are playing Madden and you choose the team with Randy Moss, have him run a Post or Fly route then just bomb it and let the computer catch it. My prediction is that this will be an absolute blow out.
LSU (+4) over MISSISSIPPI - a tough SEC game for LSU, and even though they haven't really been good on the road I still like them against Ole Miss. The real reason I picked this game is because if you choose one of my other (phenomenal) picks to go along with this one and tease it you can move LSU up to +10.5. That is what we call a 'sexy' bet.
Not sure on this one but I like it.
TCU (-32) over WYOMING - TCU is ranked 4th in the country and Wyoming is atrocious... enough said.
Those are my 'Mikey's for the Weekend, as I believe we mentioned in the podcast both Brandon and I will be keeping track of both our Weekly NFL picks as well as our bets for the weekend in a running tally... so eventually you can choose which one of use you want to listen too. And since I'm a gambling man, I'll bet it's Brandon.
'Mikey's Record: 0-0
Last Week’s Record: 0-0
All Time on ADPTP: 1-0
