Oddjack FUYA: Enter The Horsemen
READ MORE: Football Betting, Football Up Your Ass
So, now’s the time to get serious. We’re almost half-way through the football season this year already. It seems like only days ago we were trapped in a sweltering office in early June praying for this time of the year. And now it’s here and, sadly, almost over. Fucking sucks.
So, on this week’s version of Football Up Your Ass, we’re going to change a couple things up. We’ll do two links for our college and pro picks and reserve the Chopping Lines segment for the games we think are locks. The rest of the football info will be done link-wrap style for your perusing pleasure. That’s how we roll. Also, all of you people who have horse crushes will be happy to know that BG is continuing his own Horseys Up Your Ass(HUYA) all day. Dude knows his stuff. Be sure to check it out. Anyway, Horsemen are drawing nearer, a leather steed they ride.
NCAA Betting: Keep Away From the BCS Busts
READ MORE: Against The Spread, East Carolina Pirates, Football Betting, NCAA Betting
Covers’ once again trolls the murkiest conferences for unranked teams that can bring home bank for those of us sick of losing money playing the BCS turds every week. Once again, the East Carolina Pirates(5-1, ATS) rank the highest. Everybody should know to love this team by now. If not, shame on you. The rest:
Minnesota (5-2)
“The Golden Gophers would be the best bet going in the Big Ten. But for now they’ll have to share that distinction with the Badgers, whose comeback win handed Minnesota its second ATS loss of the season and its last in three games.”
Tulsa (5-2)
” The real reason the Golden Hurricanes have five paydays in their pockets. Defense. In Saturday’s win, Tulsa held Rice scoreless in the first half, while two interceptions in the second and third quarters helped the Golden Hurricanes build a 21-0 lead.”
Wyoming (5-2)
“Starting the season with five straight paydays was enough for the Cowboys to be considered one of the best kept cash cows out there.But back-to-back against the spread loses is enough for many to take a week off from playing Wyoming to see if their early run was a fluke. You can’t really blame them either.”
Baylor (4-1)
“At first glance, one has to wonder just exactly how the Baylor Bears are cashing in. Well besides playing division I-AA school Samford, the answer lies in Baylor’s defense.They haven’t allowed more than 23 points in a single game, and four times, have held the opposition to under 20 points.”

Football Betting: Set The Mustache on Fire
READ MORE: Dave Wannstedt, Football Betting, Picks, The Mustache, University of Pittsburgh
So, this was all-in-all a fantastic weekend to be Oddjack: 1.) We didn’t get blown up on the subway; 2.) We went 4-0 in NFL picking and 3-1 in NCAA. And guess which NCAA team tripped us up for the fourth time this year? If you said The Mustache, well, you would be correct. The Pittstedts miraculously covered the 16.5 points against the Cincinnati Bearcats over the weekend preventing us from going undefeated for the first time all year.We’ve officially taken his team off the board because it’s such a mush. Lessone learned. But, regardless, 7-1 is something to be proud of and just like the Patriots, we’ve got our swagger back. To summarize:
NFL Picks: 4-0
NCAA Picks: 3-1
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

Total Wins: 6
Total Losses: 5
NFL: 1-2
NCAA: 5-3
What happened in that San Francisco/Arizona game last night? Everything the bookmakers suspected. Monday can’t be good for all of us who fell for that line thinking that there is no way Arizona could be favored in that game, only to watch them trail early thanks to two quick defensive scores. Then Josh McCown goes nuts and we all feel foolish for not learning our lesson from last week’s Denver Broncos/Kansas City Chiefs game, where the seemingly much better Chiefs were 2 point underdogs. And the Vikings stink again and we’ll stay away from now on, thank you. Plus, we’re now at the point where we have to take Penn State very seriously in the Big Ten. And, of course, the mustache betrayed us again. We’ve learned our lesson. But there were so many nice, easy going victories with Michigan, Alabama, and Notre Dame all proving that we know where the moneyline value lies. We honestly felt smart for a good portion of Saturday night, a strange sensation, indeed. Alas, another week awaits and we’re back to our humble beginnings, waiting for the next big payoff.

(Non-American) Football Betting: It’s Come To This
READ MORE: Ajax, Arsenal, Benfica, Football Betting, Larry Johnson, Manchester, Paddy Power, United", soccer
Fuck this NFL shit. We’re sick and tired of losing each week on dumb-ass plays because this early season horseshit is just killing us. We’ve offically retired from NFL betting until like, oh, Week 6. Then we can get some footing back and make up for some of our losses. (Seriously, Chiefs, what the crusty donkey twat was going last night? Larry Johnson fumbling? Why couldn’t he pretend it was his girlfriend’s throat? At least we know he would’ve held on.)
Alas, we’ve moved on to the sissy games across the pond and are now resigning ourselves to betting on(limp-wristed drumroll, please…) “soccer.” And we dont’ even know anything about these matches today, but we figure it’s just as good as us betting on the NFL at this point. (Seriously, we suck. How much do we suck? We’re moving to Delaware next week just to be closer to bankruptcy lawyers.)
And also, since we’re betting on this thing they call “soccer” we get to experience the beauty of the Asian Handicap, which allows us to post this picture again:
Yep. Now, anybody know anything about Ajax or Benfica?

The Art of Language in Football Picks
READ MORE: Bloggers, Football Betting, Sedge Court Journal
Leave it to the Sedge Court Journal crew to add some color to their football betting picks for the week—especially from a fella named Vinny the Squirtz:
Whazzup bitches, Vinny coming at you from San Diego with some fresh picks for the week. But before I do that I want to clear up a few things…. 1. Oklahoma sucks fat dick and blew my 4-team parlay last Saturday by not showing up yet again. Hear this Adrian Peterson, whoever thought you could play in the NFL LAST YEAR should be shot. 2. The Michigan State-ND game will be the game of the year, Drew Stanton is a darkhorse canidate for the Heisman. Watch him blow up next week against Michigan..but beware of this week, MSU plays like shit after dominating a top 10 squad.
Hmm. Are we surprised that this man is named Vinny? Or “Squirtz” for that matter? But we love his logic about Michigan State. We are not however certain of Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson’s sexual orientation.
3-1 Overall This Week in College Ball…4-0 This Week? [Sedge Court Journal]
