Homer, everyone, question:

I don't know how it came to this. I was wrong on the first eight games of the season, bad start. Then I got seven of the next eight right, good hustle.

But then I missed 11 in a row. Now I've missed 19 of my last 22. Everything I touch turns to gold, which then immediately bursts into fire and melts through my hands and into my lap, scalding my fingers and my sensitive crotchal area.

So I'm down to my last $400. Now...how does this pool work? That's my question. Can I just make one $400 bet? Can I make one $200 bet and two $100 bets? Can I make an $89,000 bet? I'm good for it.

Can I borrow money from Lori to make a bet? And can I announce that I'm going to be plagiarizing her picks from now on? If I announce this--and then if she is killed the next day by a meteor or comet or high cholesterol--could I be found liable?

If I go bust in week eleven, does David Sklansky get the right of prima nocte? Or--because this is an internet pool using aliases and avatars and exchanging no actual money whatsoever--does pretty much nothing happen? If prima nocte...somebody should have said something.

I'm assuming I have $400 left to bet. So here. It. Is.


400 231/232 over (Bears/Jets over 37.5)


fade away people, fade away. Let it shine wherever you go, let it make a happy glow, for all the world to see.

But you ought to know that I run a football pool every year with my friends, and last year I was in last place, and then I got the final 18 games(!) in a row right to win the regular season. This happened. It was super amazing. I have a spreadsheet.

Fine: Tease me, taunt me, snipe away from the comfort of your big glass houses, with all your room-temperature gold, and your "picks that come true," and your superciliousness, and your tote bags.

I just changed my mind. Wow--I'm sure! How could I have been so stupid? Homer, this is officially my new pick:

400 231/232 under (Bears/Jets under 37.5)

ship it in a tote bag, people.

Thanks, but it's my fault it isn't updated. Jon has always uploaded the updates quickly when I've sent them to him.

Chargers Broncos Over 42 -- Don't understand this one at all -- didn't anyone see the Chargers last week? And it's not like Cincinatti has a phenomenal offense and/or a terrible defense. San Diego has major problems on defense, and an excellent offense. The weather forecast calls for clear skies and not much wind. I think this goes WAY over.

Ravens -4 vs. Atlanta -- Another one I'm a little confused about. Baltimore has been paying considerably better than Atlanta, especially lately. Would they really be just a 1 point favorite on a neutral field? Makes no sense. Vick should have a terrible day against the Ravens defense.

Raiders/Chiefs Under 35.5 -- The Raiders are an awesome Under machine, and the Chiefs are also a defense-oriented team this year; I think a lot of bettors haven't picked up on that last fact just yet.

Buc/Redskins Over 33.5 -- The stat-heads say that Jason Campbell is the real deal, so I'll cast a vote for Washington's offense to continue to play well, while their defense should continue to falter.

I think since this is just fictional betting money that you can go into the red. The $5K start point is just an arbitrary starting point. It is almost as much a skill to get that many losses as it is to get as many wins as our PropPlayer.

I don't care if people in the red continue to post 4 picks/wk as long as no one else does.

49ers is fine, but the line is set at +3. :P

If you have a chance, confirm which set of picks you want. If you don't get around to it, I will count the 2nd set since I don't want to force you to take the 49ers at a worse line.
