@IrishHeart ...not if you're wearing stinky socks and yelling at the tv on your couch.

@goosehd that pretty much describes me every day of the week!

@Jett129 , Ravens fans may be shying away, but I'm not...

Ravens over Rams

[Twistlock]

My pick for the week is Texans over Jets.

Ravens over Rams

I tried a pick em pool this year, dead last! I am horrible at picking a winner. Probably a good thing I don’t gamble on sports.

I’m putting my lucky socks on and going the @Mizmazzle route. Chiefs over Bills.
They need a spark and that spark is going to come from me picking them in a niche denim forum on the internet.

With the adoption of the gambling industry into the sport, the state of officiating, the violence and injuries, it’s never been IMO a worse time to gamble on the NFL if you’re actually concerned about financial outcomes and not just doing it for fun.

Then again, betting more than you’re happy to lose never made sense to me either.

[Jett129]

@mclaincausey I agree with you 100%,but get the feeling that people might be betting more than ever,due to the ease of which it is to make a wager. There have been quite a few times when I've thought that I'm really glad that I don't have that option. Someone out there is going Kaching,and it's not the guy betting $5 that the kicker will miss the field goal.

[Mizmazzle]

Betting is like autoerotic asphyxiation. Once you cross that line the regular “game” just isn’t the same anymore.

Pleasantly surprised the Squeelers LOST again last night! To a 2-10 team rotfl. I dare say the Pats did the Ravens a big favor. CAW!!!

[flannel slut]

let's go Pats!! playoffs here we come!

Q…Why can’t you play cards in the jungle?
A…Too many Cheetahs! Well the Dolphins have The Cheetah now,which is why they’re my pick to beat The Titans.

say what now?

[Mizmazzle]

@steelworker ha. Yeah. Guess that one fell kinda flat. I was implying that once you start betting the more simple pleasure of just watching the game becomes hard to enjoy after the increased endorphin rush of winning big on a bet.
