Summer Vs Zeus NFL Picks season 2, week 6
4 years ago
Welcome to the weekly journal entry where I match NFL-knowing against a friend of mine. What we'll be doing each week is picking our three sure-thing against the spread bets of the week, whoever does better that week gets a point and if we tie no one gets a point. If you're unfamiliar with the concept, a point spread is the margin of victory that Las Vegas oddsmakers determine the favorite will win by. In order to "cover the spread" a team favored to win by 4 points would have to win by 5 or more. Should they prevail in the real life game by 3 or less in that scenario, the underdog would be considered the winner. This concept applies to whatever the number assigned to the favorite is, on a game by game basis.
Current score:

I'm coming off a perfect 3-0 week and got a point back in the season long race, but whoops, I almost forgot this week and I'm making my picks late Saturday to prevent a loss by default. Herewego!
Pick 1
Los Angeles Rams (-8) to defeat New York Giants
I'm no fan of the Giants but you almost have to feel bad for them after their premier running back, starting quarterback, and best receiver all went down with injuries last week. This is a road game with LA jumping multiple time zones into an earlier slot, but I still have to think the Rams are capable of beating New York by two scores.
CORRECT - The Rams smashed the dang Giantr
Pick 2
Los Angeles Chargers +2.5 to defeat Baltimore Ravens
Okay. As far as AFC rivals go, I don't mind the Ravens. So please forgive me, Ravens fans, when I say that the close losses and stunning comebacks against inferior opposition gives the Ravens an air of fraudulence. Caw Caw means prove it, this week. Put a stop to the red hot Chargers and I'll believe in you.
WRONG - The Ravens made a believer out of me after pretty much blowing the Chargers away
Pick 3
Detroit Lions +3.5 to defeat Bengals
Ready to hear an extremely common gambler's fallacy? The lions are DUE. THEY'RE OVERDUE. They can't lose them all and this week they will win straight up, and I get a +3.5 in case they get their hearts broken again.
WRONG - Welp, there's a reason it's a gambler's fallacy and not a gambler's boon. The Lions got punked.

Chiefs -6.5 > Football Team YES
Chargers +2.5 > Ravens NO
Dolphins -3 > Jaguars NO
Week recap - Zeus and I both went a disappointing 1 right, 2 wrong, so the score remains the same for another week.
GO BILLS!
