The ‘Mikey’s last weekend were anything but money, and that’s on me. I was also awful in the NFL Preview show, but I’m putting that on Siegs. I’m hoping to turn the ship around by putting up a flurry of bets… 12 to be exact. My prediction is I will hit 4, but then again I’ve been so off with my predictions that it might actually go the other way… and that logic just made my head explode.
Saturday
Cincinnati (-2.5) over PITTSBURGH – Cincinnati hasn’t lost this year and have been winning by quite a bit. Pittsburgh is a good team but I think Cincinnati smells the undefeated mark (and the ridiculous pending National Champs argument from people that will just piss me off) and Pitt is the only school standing in their way. Brian Kenny one of the best coaches in college football leads his team to a win by more than 2.5.
USC (-7) over Arizona – if you think Pete Carroll wants to go out with anything less than a blowout, you would be incorrect. What better way to show your team still has something than to dominate a PAC-10 rival at home.
EAST CAROLINA (+3) over Houston – Houston may be #18 but they love giving up points. Am I that confident in this game? Not really. This game is either going to be an absolute blowout by Houston, or Carolina steals a win. Bottom line - East Carolina still has one of the most badass home field symbols in the country.
New Mexico State (+47.5) over BOISE STATE – it’s almost 50 points folks. I rarely like touching games like this because Boise is really good and NM is really bad, but I mean it’s 50 points. 50 GOD DAMNED POINTS!
Florida (-5.5) over Alabama – my gut tells me that Bama might sneak one out here, and if the line was anything over 6 I probably wouldn’t touch it. But with the story that Tim Tebow has written at Florida I just don’t see him losing. I wear Tim Tebow pajamas to bed, that is a fact. Plus Tebow has Jesus on his side, I dare you to bet again Jesus… I mean it’s fucking Jesus.
Sunday
Eagles (-5.5) over FALCONS – the Falcons are a different team at home, and the Eagles are taking their charge towards the playoffs only to lose in the first round. With out Matty-Ice and the possibility of Michael Turner not playing makes Atlanta an extremely beatable team.
CHIEFS (+5) over Broncos – the Broncos are a better team, I don’t think you can argue against it. That being said, Denver is 1-16 playing at Arrowhead in December, I’m going with history. Also I’m going with the team of Jamaal Charles and Matt Cassel.
JAGUARS (pk) over Texans – Houston has no heart, and in the time it took me to write this up Matt Schaub fumbled again. Do I think Jacksonville is good? Not really, but they’re a helluva lot better than Houston.
Chargers (-13.5) over BROWNS – I honestly don’t like taking 2 touchdown lines in the National Football League. That being said, the Chargers have been blowing out a lot of bad teams and lucky for them the Browns are one of worst teams in the NFL.
Vikings (-3) over ARIZONA – this is a completely different game if Kurt Warner plays. I hate betting for the Vikings but they’ve been on a roll lately. I think it’s going to be hard for the Vikings to stop Quon, Breston and Fitz… it’s going to be a lot harder for the Cards to stop Old Man River and Purple Jesus.
Patriots (-4) over DOLPHINS – at this point in my life as ‘the sophisticated sports fan’ I hate consistently betting with Tom Brady and the Patriots. Most of the people outside of Massachusetts that love the Patriots masturbate to Boondock Saints, say ‘brah’ too much and look like the guys on Jersey Shore. But I love Tom Brady, I love Bill Belichick, and I love them bouncing back from an embarrassing loss to the Saints… brah.
Monday
PACKERS (-3) over Ravens – one of my cardinal rules is never bet on the Packers, Bucks, Brewers or Badgers. Betting with your heart and not your head is not smart. But the Packers are on a roll and going into Monday on 10 games rest. On the flip side the Ravens played a physical overtime game against the Steelers in the late game. At this point in the season I like the team with more time to heal those nagging injuries that everyone has, plus it’s the Packers and they rock my socks off.
Last Week’s ‘Mikey’s – 2-4-1
All Time ‘Mikey’s Record – 7-6-1
