I met a woman who is a “life coach” this week. I’m not sure what credentials one needs
to proclaim themselves worthy of being a life coach. Maybe it’s just having a general vibe of having your shit
together. My gut is that most of
her friends most come to her for advice on things like yoga classes, interior
decorators, and recommended cosmetic dentists. Eventually the dots were connected for
her to do it full time. She
recommended I attend her upcoming “workshop” on dealing with stress. This seemed like a terrible idea. I told her that I had my own methods,
which of course she then wanted to know specifics. When I told her “working out and drinking lots of wine”, she
looked at me with a combination of pity and scorn. I forgot to throw in “Sports Gambling”, which I do not think
would have helped my cause.
However, I’ll bet there is a roomful of wealthy women right now “sharing
in a non judgmental way” that could have saved themselves an $800 workshop fee if they just
bought a nice bottle of Pol Roger and dropped some jack on the games this
weekend. There are some real
opportunities this week too.
The Titans are perhaps the most boring team in the NFL. Every time I watch a Titans game I see
Mariota throw an incomplete pass of about 3 yards. Sometimes a running back goes into the line for two
yards. The uniforms are ugly. The players aren’t memorable. The defense is pretty good though. Like I said, I can’t recall any of the
players by name, but they keep the games low scoring. The Public seems to think
the Giants are good after they beat the Bears with Chase Daniel at QB and
turnover plagued Tampa. This is a
mirage. They aren’t dropping 35 on
the Titans, especially with no Odell at WR. I’ll take the boring Titans to grind out a win here. Tennessee -1.5
Another team it’s always wise to bet against is the Detroit
Lions. The Lions won on the road
versus Arizona last week despite scoring no offensive touchdowns. Stafford has an injured back, and all
the skill players are second teamers.
This motley collection of players is going to fly across the country to
go play outside in Buffalo, who has strangely morphed into an average football
team after ending “The Peterman Experiment”. I am fading the Lions on the road, which is always a smart
thing to do. No one has ever lost
money betting against the Lions on the road. Look it up.
Buffalo -2.5
I plan on watching a great deal of football on Sunday. As the Browns won’t be on, I will have
to make it interesting by having action on as much of the league as
possible. How about a five team
parlay? Everyone loves a sucker
bet, and no one more than me!
Buffalo over the Lions because the Lions are the Lions. The Arizona Cardinals cannot
score. This is a hindrance in
winning NFL Football games; so let’s take Atlanta at home. The Jacksonville Jaguars hated Blake
Bortals so much, they are playing inspired football with Cody Kessler, who
really sucks. The good news is
that they are hosting the Washington Redskins, who mercifully ended The Mark
Sanchez Comeback, and have now turned to Josh Johnson. Yes, you read that correctly. The Redskins have given up on the
season and just want to go home.
Jacksonville. Speaking of
giving up, how can the Eagles hope to go on the road to beat the Rams? They had their playoff dreams killed in
Dallas last week, now have to fly out to LA to play a Ram team that wants to
get back on the rails after an embarrassing loss to the Bears. Rams. Finally, I am on the Houston Texans over the Jets. Jets coach Todd Bowles is a Dead Man
Walking. The Texans want to close
out the AFC South. These are teams
heading in two very different directions.
I bet the Jets hang in there, but the Texans win. All I need are those five games to come
in and I get paid out 3-1. With
that kind of money, I’m buying something extravagant. You know, like a pony.
Current Record:
14-9
