Summer Vs Zeus NFL Picks season 2, week 13
4 years ago
Welcome back 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:

After a rally to tie the score I gave a point back to Zeus with a poor performance last week.
Pick 1
Cincinnati Bengals -3 to defeat Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers entered this season with many considering them the official Young Team To Look Out For, but the surprising Bengals have wrested that crown from them. Between this game being held on Cincinnati's field and the Bengals being the better team, I see the Bengals winning by 4 or more points.
Result - NOPE
Pick 2
Las Vegas Raiders -1.5 to defeat Washington Football Team
After a free fall in on the field play and amidst swirling off the field issues, it looked like the Raiders were having a disaster of a season. Suddenly they turned things around and got organized enough to upset the Cowboys on Thanksgiving day. That recent success and an inconsistent foe in Washington coming to their stadium makes me think they can drag themselves to another win. As long as it isn't by the thinnest, one point margin then I'm good here.
RESULT - NOT TODAY
Pick 3
Baltimore Ravens -4.5 to defeat Pittsburgh Steelers
This pick is simply me thinking that Ben Rothlesberger specifically and the Steelers in general are just absolutely cooked. The Ravens should win this game by no less than 7 if their anywhere near as good as their record indicates.
RESULT - NOOOOOOOOOOOSIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
PonePicks: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal...../#jid:10062219
Dolphins -6 > Giants Yes!
49ers -3.5 > Seahawks No!
Broncos +9.5 > Chiefs Doesn't Matter!
When I could least afford to I went 0-3. Zeus already got one right so that's that, I am now trailing by two points with only 5 weeks of games remaining.
GO BILLS!
