Oddjack FUYA: A Time of Adjustment

So, overall, not a bad weekend. We made a little scratch. Not in the NFL where we went a sluggish 4-3-1, all thanks to unshakeable faith in a certain team from Philadelphia that at this point is just not very good. But as Philadelphia fans, we think it’s perfectly reasonable to take this opportunity to tell Terrell Owens to fuck himself. Thank you for indulging us.

But maybe it’s time to put homerism aside and hop on another team’s bandwagon, like those plucky Houston Texans who’ve now covered two weeks in a row. Or maybe we should line up for this most recent Chicago Bears bandwagon? Listen, Chicago, even though it’s nice and all that you’ll probably win your division and get a first-round playoff bye, let’s remember how well that served you in 2001, when you had that brilliant 13-3 season only to be completely manhandled by the Eagles in the first round. How is Jim Miller’s shoulder by the way? Anyway, no Bears bandwagon jumping.

NCAA, we went 5-3, with Virginia Tech showing us that they’re mortal and Miami showing us that, shit, they really are pretty good. And goddamn if ESPN’s Colin Cowherd did not increase his “Best Bets” record to a whopping 9-0 with his NC State over FSU pick that he made, oh, back in August. This does not bode well for Penn State, who play at Michigan State on November 19.

And let’s not forget our glue-sniffing friend at American Gambling News, whose early season shit-talking has really not carried over to his ability to make sound picks. Of course, we’re fortunate enough to have all of these “resources” at our disposal that make our picks with much more accuracy. Gawker’s team of handicappers that crunch numbers 24/7 really help us in picking these games. So, we thank them. We recommend American Gambling News use frozen peas on that swollen nutsack.
