Default Bar Stool Pundit Picks

Here are my picks for this weekend's NFL games. I've done absolutely no research, other than watching a lot of football and playing in my fantasy league. It's my hope that these picks will represent the worse-than-average bettor's choices, and thus be a contrary indicator. I've only picked the games where my gut tells me there's an edge.

BUF -3 vs. Miami. Man the Dolphins suck. I know the Bills aren't great, but they're not the black hole of suck that Miami is.

STL +11.5 vs. NO. The Rams also suck horribly, but 11.5 points is a lot.

DAL -1 vs. NYG. Dallas is good, and has already beaten NY. NY is only 6-2 because they've beaten a lot of [censored] teams.

DET +1 vs. ARI. Detroit is actually good this year. Arizona has bad QB problems.

IND -3.5 vs. SD. Seriously, only 3.5?

I would suspect everyone is gonna be all over Dallas -1. Indianapolis -3.5 and Detroit +1 are good ones too. Not sure about your other two.

Miami is not a BSP pick as the line keeps moving on them.

Also, there are not ever 5 bsp picks.

People need to stop starting threads with the BSP title when there's nothing BSP about it.

I think he is calling himself a BSP and thus his picks are BSPs

That's what I thought too.

But yeah, there are never 5 in one week. And they almost never include underdogs. The Lions this week for sure. Other than that, meh.

Wait, are you saying we should have picked WITH your choices, or against them?
