Betting Football Spreads, Go With What You Know

Or go with the flow, or go with the ice floe, or keep taking what you been raking, or once you back the pack don't go back. Last couple of weeks in sports betting I've taken Green Bay and this week was going to be no different. Just didn't get the pick in. Thanksgiving got in the way. You ever notice, aaron Rogers is looking like professional poker player Scott Fischman, but he always does, and Fischman who won two quick bracelets has kind of disappeared from the scene.

He's still around somewhere but like many poker players a brilliant year of success is followed by many dull ones. Will Aaron Rogers go the way of his doppleganger? Or will he be the second coming of that guy with a bit part as the funnily named beau in "There's Something About Mary" Brett Far-ve. Speaking of dopplegangers will the Cowboys doctor who looks like Warren Buffet become an incredible investor? These questions continue unabated.

Incidentally, speaking of poker flash in the pans, Chris Moneymaker won an online poker tournament this week. Long time coming. And Darvin Moon may have been spotten in a New Orleans poker room at Harrash wearing a WSOP shirt. Must be here for the monday nighter.

If there is one thing I've learned pissing off West Viriginians is fun, see N.I.T. game between UR and West Virginia when we were in... Mardi Gras gear. Now, the mountaineer is here... in New Orleans it all comes full circle. I plan on heading to Harrahs to wreck havoc on Moon at the pit games like three card poker and Texas Hold 'Em that he's dumb enough to prefer over the cash games.

What does this randomness have to do with my pick this week? Well, since the Pack can't be backed, and in honor of Darvin Moon being in town I'll tackle the Patsies-Saints. This is a brown bag special if there has every been one.

The Patsies used to be a laughingstock of the league. Even when they went to the Superbowl they were a joke and the Bears treated them like a honey ham. The Saints, the original bags on head, want to become what the Patsies transformed themselves into and the Saints might be able to.

Brees and Brady's clash will only be the second time in NFL history (Fouts-Marino) that two 4,000 yards in a season passers have clashed. I know you'd think Peyton would be in that category but whenever they said it on CBS they didn't address it. The Saints receiving corp is perhaps more dangerous than Moss and the rolling stoned that suit up for New England.

Oddly, perhaps because of the decimated Saints secondary 5 dimes has dropped this game to a pick em. What? Outside of Minnesota the Saints have looked like the best team in the league. Indy to me, is inferior to the Black and Gold and even they pulled out a win vs. New England at home. By the transitive property, which never works, the Saints will win by a touch down or more.

The atomospher will be crazy and the Patsies won't be able to halt the Saints win streak yet. Give me the home team. Me Darvin Moon and Mo will be all pysched to see the bless you boys win and the Belicheats lose.
