Professor Summer Vs Zeus Pone, Week 11
5 years ago
My weekly series has been brought out of retirement in part due to a challenge from
ZeusPegasus13 ! We'll be matching wits week to week, more correct selections in week is worth a point, aaaaannnd, there were be positioning in a lewd picture at the conclusion of the 17 week regular season at stake for whoever gets more points. We'll do our best to lock our picks in publicly, but 17 weeks is a long time, so trust that we'll be keeping it honest during non journal weeks.
Current score:
2
2
For those unfamiliar, the positive or negative number of each pick reflects the "spread" that must be accounted for a pick to be successful. A negative number is subtracted from the given team's real life score, while a positive number is added to that teams real life score. For example. Team A -3.5 vs Team B. Real life score Team A 10 Team B 7. 3.5 is subtracted from Team A, for a pick score of Team A 6.5 Team B 7. Team B is the "correct" pick and Team A is wrong.
Week 10 recap: My run of bad 1 right 2 wrong weeks finally cost me, and we're tied at 2 points apiece.
Pick 1
Philadelphia Eagles +2.5 to defeat Cleveland Browns
Betting against Cleveland worked for me last week. The Browns won the game but didn't cover the spread, intentionally! Seriously they could have scored in the dying seconds but instead took a knee and ran out of the clock. Thank you Cleveland, do it again for me this week. Also, I feel like SOMEONE has to assert themselves in the NFC East and it might as well be Philly.
Result: Eagles 17, Browns 22 WRONG Man, these two teams, it seems like I have one or the other on my radar every week, and they fuck me every time. I don't see how Carson Wentz gets another start in the NFL, but Philly will run him out there next week.
Pick 2
Denver Broncos +3.5 to defeat Miami Dolphins
I'm a Tua doubter. Maybe this will cost me, I don't know. We'll see. I'll take the home team getting just over a field goal and see what happens.
Result: Broncos 20, Dolphins 13 CORRECT. Looks like Miami's coaching staff are Tua doubters too. Lol.
Pick 3
Cincinnati Bengals +1.5 to defeat Washington Football Team
Call me crazy but I think that Cincy isn't as bad as their record shows and that Washington is somehow WORSE than theirs indicates. Joe Burrow notches another win in his young career this Sunday.
Result: Bengals 9, Team 20. WRONG This one was a close game between two bad teams until Joe Burrow suffered a gruesome leg injury and his teammates all then deciding that they'd rather be somewhere else. Oh well that's gambling.

Bengals +1.5 > Football Team NO
Patriots -2.5 > Texans NO
Dolphins -3.5 > Broncos NO
Well despite continuing my run of 1 right 2 wrong weeks, Zeus reverse ran the table, going 0-3. I win the week by default and go up 3-2
GO BILLS!
