Professor Summer Vs Zeus Pone, Week 16
4 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.
Current score:
5 2 It's over! 3 point lead with 2 weeks remaining. You fought well, Zeus, but they don't call me Professor for nothing.
Let's pick anyway, just to stay sharp...
Pick 1
Miami Dolphins -2.5 to defeat Las Vegas Raiders Saturday Game!
Both teams are fighting for their playoff lives here, the Raiders chances being far slimmer than Miami's is a reflection of their inconsistency over the course of the year. Miami is a much more complete team, and by spotting less than a field goal I have overtime protection. I like Miami to win and inch closer to punching their ticket to the playoffs.
Result: Dolphins 26 (-2.5 = 23.5) Raiders 25 WRONG. Miami squeaked out the win, but they didn't cover the spread, so Summer snatches defeat from the jaws of victory.
Pick 2
Pittsburgh Steelers +1.5 to defeat Indianapolis Colts
Pittsburgh is reeling after 3 straight losses, the most recent being a Cincy team in shambles stunting on them on Monday Night Football. Yet they're only receiving a point and a half from the bookies? FIX IS ON ALERT! (also look out for the we-just-lost-to-the-Jets Rams only +1 against Seattle) I spotted these earlier in the year but still fell for them, this time I'm following through and going the opposite way on what seems like a gimmie bet.
Result: Steelers 28 (+1.5) Colts 24 CORRECT. Eeeeeeyyyyyyyy, Professor Summer smelled the fix and cashed in.
Pick 3
Los Angles Chargers -3 to defeat Denver Broncos
Two teams whos seasons are done matching up, I'm taking the Chargers just by virtue of them looking like a more complete team.
Result: Chargers 19 (-3 = 16) Broncos 16. TIE, so WRONG. Boo. The Chargers won, but not by enough, and ties do not win you the bet.
PonePicks: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9720210
Cardinals -5 > 49ers NO
Colts -1.5 > Steelers (uh-oh, he took the bait) NO
Seahawks -1 > Rams (uh-oh, he took the OTHER bait) YES
Summary. All three teams I picked to win, won, but two of them didn't win by enough. That's how you have a successful losing week. 1 right 2 wrong. Pone had the same outcome, so the score stays 5-2 heading into the last week.
GO BILLS!
