Jake's 'Mikey's for the Weekend

Sorry, I'm posting a little late because I've been busy packing. This week won't have as many as last because to be completely honest, I don't like a lot of the lines. It's weak... but deal with it, Brandon put up like 50 in the last three days, just go off that. Wow, that sounded hostile... I apologize my little cuties.

Washington State (+24.5) over WASHINGTON - just a poo-poo platter game. Both these teams are atrocious - I mean they have a combined 4 wins (3 of which are the Huskies). Washington might not even put up 25 points period.

Arizona (-3) over ASU - Siegs picked it too, great minds think alike.

Colts (-3.5) over TEXANS - the Colts just scraped out a win against the Ravens last week, and the Texans are on short rest. This was a tough game to pick but for some reason I like the Colts here. The Colts defense is playing really well and the Texans cannot run the football. For some reason my gut tells me that the Colts undefeated run stops here, but my gut is also hungry... so, I like the Colts to win here by more than 3.5 on the road.

Seahawks/RAMS Under 42.5 - just like the Wash St./Wash game this one has all the makings for a stinker. It's a borderline unwatchable game featuring two horse shit teams. The Rams don't have a quarterback and the Seahawks just can't seem to score period.

Dolphis (-3) over BILLS - I said on this website that Miami would beat Carolina and that Ricky Williams would have a great game. Where was I going with this? Sorry I was bragging about the game and forgot. Oh yeah, Bills-Phins. Well the Panthers are a helluva lot better than the Bills, so by the Transitive Property that means that the Dolphins should win by more than they did against the Carolina... or Dolphis eat Buffalos. It's science, don't question it.

VIKINGS (-11) over Bears - picking the Vikings? Woof.

Patriots (+3) over SAINTS - I may be one of three people in America questioning how good the Saints are and not calling them 'The Best Team in the NFC'. Other than the Eagles (meh), the Giants (who were in a slide), and the Falcons (awful away from home) they have not beat a team with a winning record. On the flip side, I might argue that the Patriots are one of the 2 or 3 best teams in the entire National Football League. The Saints have been putting up Playstation numbers, but unlucky for them the Patriots play defense. I still think it will be high scoring, but I like the Patriots by at least a touchdown.

Jake's 'Mikey's of the Weekend

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.
