Parlay apologies, Vol. 1

No, we didn’t dominate our Week 1 parlay like we’d hoped. Thanks to Matt’s OSU pick, we ended up missing ONLY 3 of the 4 games. So we weren’t Buccaneers-bad; it was more like Broncos-bad—fitting since they were one of the three teams that screwed us.

Since I missed both my games, I should write the apology letter to anyone who might have taken our advice to Vegas.

How were we to know that Jeff Wilkins would outscore the entire Broncos team? Shoot, Wilkins outscored the Broncos, Packers, Buccaneers, Raiders, and Panthers combined.

All Drew Bledsoe had to do was be average and the Cowboys win. That’s it. Mediocre. Jason Manson. Nothing more. I’m guessing Tony Romo can be average. I will have to wait for Romo to line up under center to pick these guys again.

The point spread leads to some incredible fun. Beck was just a 2-yard run away from covering both of his games, but when the Colts couldn’t convert on third down with about 1:30 to go, they had to kick a field goal, pushing their 2-point lead to 5, thus covering the 3.5 given to Beck’s Giants. Addai (or Rhodes, whoever, both equally inept) picks up the first, clock runs out, Beck can chide me for being Bledsoe-esque in predicting games. Instead…well, it made me feel a little better.

Tune in later this week for our first victorious parlay pick!
