Oddjack FUYA: Don’t Mess With Dead Giants

READ MORE: Free Picks, NCAA Betting, NFL Betting, Oddjack

969-mara_tribute2.JPGWell, that was a shitty NFL weekend. NCAA, not so bad. NFL? Eesh. We’ve learned our lesson on the Redskins and been exposed to the frauds they are. We’ve also learned that when Wellington Mara dies, it’s best not to bet against the Giants at home. It was also pretty stupid to bet against the Texans this week. They had to win at some point and Cleveland was probably it. So much for the Vikings being “inspired” by their post-boat-orgy victory. That was flawed logic. We projected our own feelings about playing a game after a sex boat orgy and figured it would carry over. And Daunte Culpepper can finally relax. Good for him. Anyway, NFL record over the weekend: 3-5

NCAA was a little better. The Tereshinski push in the World’s Largest Vomit Fest was good enough to keep us at 5-3-1. Penn State continues to dominate. Carolina’s 21 points was a gift. Maryland proved they’re not double-digit underdogs. Temple showed that they legitimately need 30+ per game to have any chance at covering against anybody.

Overall weekend rundown: 8-8-1. We lost the vig.

The Joys of Internerd Free Pick Trash Talking

TRASHTALK.jpgWe will probably regret this much more than the time we lost that “drink a shot of Kiwi Mad Dog out of a half-full Hellman’s jar” prop bet a few years back, but we figure it’s newsworthy in the sense that an ornery fella from the land of Julius Erving’s fictional basketball team has issued a challenge to us on his website starting in Week 6 over Monday Night Football picks. Yes, the sword-rattling scribe at American Gambling News has apparently taken a playful comment of ours in the wrong way and offered up this solution to our differences:

For those who haven’t seen it, our good—not good at picking WINNERS, mind you—buddies at OddJack left a flaming bag of crap in the AGN comments, going so far as to cuss. But I’m cool with it so long as he keeps picking MNF games along with the Monday Night Countdown crew–that is, wrong pretty much every week. And I’m SO cool with it that I’m willing to issue a challenge…and a fun little wager:

For the rest of the NFL season, let’s pick ‘em every week. Stick ‘em up head to head, keep a cumulative record, starting with week 6. And we’ll do it like we’re mayors: At the end of the season, the loser’s gotta pony up something from his hometown. I’ll throw down a case of Iron City. And since OddJack’s probably from New Jersey (just a hunch), I’ll be expecting a big old bag of toxic sludge. Or at least a gift certificate to Texas Arizona, Hoboken’s Steeler Bar.

And here we are, ready to beaten like a mule(cuz we like it), and feverishly searching the messy library at Gawker headquarters for an atlas to find out where this land called “Hoboken” he speaks of is. So, we’ll play along and keep track of our records and AGN’s MNF picks for the rest of the year just because we like to keep an open dialogue with unhinged lunatics from Wannstedt country. And, sure, we’ll pay up if we lose. We’re good like that.

Gambling Blogs: Another Free Picker Enters the Arena

READ MORE: Free Picks, Gambling Blogs, NBX Sports Action Blog

NBX.jpgThe free pick blogs are blossoming like daisies in a graveyard as another batch of blogger-cappers is making a mark covering all aspects of betting. Hitting football, baseball, sprinkled with sports news, NBX Sports Action Blog also cutely labels itself as site devoted to “entertainment” sports betting, just in case the Feds are trolling the internet, we guess. But regardless the latest batch of betting pirates will be welcomed into our free pick rundown with open arms—as long as they don’t mind the overpowering aroma of smoked meat eminating from our armpits.

NFL Betting: Blogs Rule

As if you needed more of a reason to not pay for sports handicapping services:

For the third time in as many days The Sedge Court Cappers absolutley walloped our competition. In Yesterday’s action we went a respectable 6-3 against the spread; and I nailed all three of my dogs selections.

Our record combined with our fellow bloggers over at Odd Jack and SharpJuice was 10-3 against the spread!

The “Pro’s” on the other hand shat their pants. The Big Green Machine was 1-8 and Free Picks by Email was a pathetic 1-6. The sad thing is that people actually follow these guys!

Free Football Picks Galore From Men Who Curse

It’s amazing to us how so many people plop down some cash for handicapping services based on a few minor runs. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. That’s the best advice we can give. And also seek out the places that give away the free picks on the web and use their logic sparingly. Sharpjuice is on a roll so far, as is this cranky bunch at the Sedge Court Journal, which combines sound football handicapping skills with a love for creative profanity and exclamation marks. We can happily admit to having a non-homo crush and a prolonged admiration as long as they win some of the time. Under on the Steelers/Eagles last night however was a bad fucking call. But who are we to talk?

Hey, it’s a long season(and still pre-season), you cocks.
