The Don sounds off... 11/14/2009
 I am here for two reasons; (1) because I was requested to return by a very dear friend of mine and (2) to set the record straight, directing it toward a certain individual, who not only keeps giving weekly lame ass picks, but continues to post falsified information. What has been done for the past several weeks is called “he said, she said” in the world of journalism and no real assessment of the truth has been given. You want the truth? I think you CAN handle the truth, and the truth is that Don Trotter has not given any true picks for three weeks and stating anything otherwise, especially throwing out "5-11" stats, is completely egregious. After being viciously attacked by a 4 yrs old a couple weeks back, The Don posted picks that directly contradicted the picks of another poster, “Chaz”. After that post, I sent a message, via text, to a dear friend of mine, Tom Hammer. The text read, paraphrasing; "Tom, post this email. These are not my picks for the week, rather, just having a little bit of fun. I will send you my true picks later tonight." In regards to the second set of picks from last week, I sent a message, this time via email, to Tom and another dear friend of mine, Sam. The email message read, paraphrasing; "Here are some games to consider." Never did The Don mention that any of those games were true bets that should be made, nor did I instruct the Hammer to post them. I simply sent an email out to a couple of gambler friends of mine on some games I thought looked interesting and if they liked one of the games, take the bet. Last week I sent multiple emails out, once again, to Tom and Sam. Those emails contained winners and one really big winner, my lock; the over in the Purdue/Michigan game. That particular email read: On Fri, Nov 6, 2009 at 11:18 AM, Don <person e-mail removed> wrote: I will probably shoot you guys another email tonight with some of the games I like, but take that OVER 53 for the Michigan/Purdue game. Michigan’s defense is really bad and I can assure you that their offense will score. The last two games may not seem like a high flying offense, but take it from me; they have turned the ball over seven times in the redzone the last two weeks. They will play good at home against Purdue. Plus, it is going to be a great day tomorrow in Ann Arbor; sunny and 60. Purdue’s spread will score at LEAST 21 points, but probably more like 28 or 35.. Look for Michigan to put up 35 or more. Last year this game was 42-48. Emails like that somehow did not find their way to this site, nor did I want them too. The reasoning for my disappearance was simple; to sit back and watch people like Chaz, who think they know the game of football, to fall completely of their face. I haven’t sent picks into this site because people like Chaz will jump off my bandwagon after one bad week, and think they can do better. Well, we’ve seen how that has gone, and to be honest, it’s simply embarrassing. On the other hand, the people who didn’t come out of the wood work pounding their chest like a “Greek God” thinking they know football, just sat back, relaxed and kindly asked me for picks the following weeks. Two weeks ago I had a friend call mine call me at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. He informed me that he had a $1K bankroll and wanted one game. I told him, paraphrasing; "If I had $1K I would put it all on Texas A&M to cover vs. Iowa St." The next day I got a text from him stating, and I quote, "Thank you very much! You da-man!!". This past week, I gave him the over in the Purdue/Mich game & Stanford to cover vs. Oregon. Not only did I get that same text message again, but $100 showed up in the mail for me with a note that read; “Thx for digging me out of the hole from earlier in the year.” So, what does this all mean? Well, in short; I'm fucking good. During Saturday's & Sunday's text messages poor into my phone because true gamblers, needing one game to make their weekends, crave The Don’s advice. I have a greater plethora of clients than you can possibly fathom. People weep for my picks and curse people like Chaz because they don’t have the luxury, the luxury of knowing what I know; that every week people like Chaz will kill your bank roll with 1-4 weeks, while my picks, no matter how grotesque and incomprehensible they may seem, will increases it. People don’t want advice from turds like Chaz. Deep down they want my advice, they need my advice. I use words like parlay, teaser and locks. I use these words as a backbone to win money. People like Chaz uses them as a punch-line. I have neither the time or inclination to explain myself to a person who has to shave his back or has NEVER played a down of true organized football in his entire life. I would rather him just say “thank you” for being 3-1 in my locks on this site and went on his way, otherwise I suggest he stop conjuring up falsified information, stats and complete horseshit so he can make himself feel and look better, even though he is an atrocious 6-9 the last three weeks and doesn’t even give locks, which are the sole of true gambler and what his life relies on. I know more about the game of football than anybody who reads this site. I can tell you where the hot route is on a specific blitz, what play the quarterback should check to, where he should go with the ball and what linebacker the running-back is responsible for. I can tell you what the field side corners responsibility is if number one runs a vertical in quarters coverage. I can tell you how many drop steps a quarterback should take on every given route and how many gather and hitch steps. If you want to know what the progression reads are on the strong safety and sam backer on a y-stick h-flat 65, I can tell you. If you want to know where the weakness is in a two-deep zone vs. an empty set, I can tell you. I can tell you who the Y should pick on a rub route out of a trips set on a 99 sprint option right. Basically, if you want to know football, just ask me. If you want your bankroll to be higher off my overall 6-1 locks, then listen to me. On the other hand, if you want loser picks, like Michigan to beat Illinois or completely comical information like, “Beaver Stadium is the most intimidating atmosphere in college football” when they are 0-2 at home vs. non Akron and Syracuse teams, then ask somebody else. I will give my picks again this week. Tak’em if you like’em. If you don’t, that’s cool too. Stay tuned. Don Trotter returns to Leroy's Lounge! 11/13/2009
 I'm going to offer up a little something different this week. Feel free to play along. And as always, these are just my picks. If you like'm, take'em, if not, that's cool too. I am going to run a 6 game, 7pt teaser, laying $100 which pays out $500. My last pick is the one I feel pretty confident about. Overall this year, some posted on this site and some not, I am 6-1 on my locks. Notre Dame +7 vs. Pitt. Put the 7 on ND and take it to 14 Notre Dame has been in every single game they have played and their three losses have all come on last second plays. Their biggest margin of defeat was 7 to USC. Last week, they turned the ball over three times in the red-zone, one on the 1 yard line, and they also missed two field goals. If they don’t self destruct they easily beat Navy and I think the line this game is more like 2 than 7. I like ND to cover 14 points against a Pitt team that has played close games against average teams like Rutgers and UConn. I have watched this Pitt team multiple times and aside from their freshman running-back, who is pretty solid, I think this team is a bit overrated. Notre Dame will be the best offense they have played to date and with Casey Clausen throwing to Tate and Flyod, no matter how many points Pitt can score, I think that offense can match. ND may not pull out the victory, but I am betting on the trend of that they have shown in every single game this year, keep it close until the last seconds of the game. OSU -16.5 vs. Iowa Put the 7 on OSU and take it to 9 ½ I know, I know, TP sucks. I realize this. But the Sweater finally got his head out of his ass last week and finally called plays that suit the kid, which is safe percentage passes to their playmakers like Posey. However, even if Pryor regresses again, it won't make a difference in this game. Iowa's back-up QB is in for a world of hurt and will be like a deer in head lights after the second snap. OSU’s defense has been playing great all year and they will feast on this new kid. To make matters worse, Iowa doesn't have a run game, down to their 3rd string running back. With the Big Ten championship on the line and the a Rose Bowl birth in sight, I think a pretty easy win maybe in store for the Yuckeyes. I don’t like the 16.5 but I sure do like them by 10 or a couple scores. I am counting on a couple turnovers and maybe even a special teams score by Ray Small. Georgia Tech -12.5 vs. Duke Take Tech and bring it down to 5 ½ I have always loved betting on teams that run the triple option. I have won some good money on both Tech and Navy this year. Although Tech played a below average Wake Forest team close last week in an overtime win, that may serve as a little wakeup to not overlook anybody on their schedule. Duke on the other hand, although much better than years past, hasn’t played top opponents well, with losses to both Va. Tech and North Carolina. I usually stay away from betting against dogs playing at home, but Tech has a 4-0 record on the road this year. I like Nesbitt and Dwyer run for more than a 6 point victory. Arkansas -13.5 vs. Troy Take the 7 on Arkansas, take it down to 6 ½ I have taken Arkansas a lot this year and out of their last 7 games, they have covered for me 6 times. I have taken them as favorites and underdogs. Ryan Mallett and that offense can flat out score some points. Typically I am a little wary of games like this, a non-conference opponent late in the season, however Arkansas isn't coming off a huge win against a big rival and they don't have a real big game after this one, so I see no real reason for them to overlook Troy. They are playing at home, where they have only lost one game in a shoot out vs. Georgia. Troy is a team who got spanked 56-7 by Florida, a team Arkansas dam near beat. Even though Troy has won seven straight games, those games have been against teams like Middle Tenn St, Western Kentucky and North Texas. If Troy doesn't play a cake schedule, this spread may be in the 20's. I like Arkansas to play this game like and SEC game and come out with a pretty big win. They just put up 33 points on a very talented South Carolina defense at home and I see no reason they can't do that against a team from the Sun Belt Conference. New England +3 vs. Indy Put the 7 on NE and take it to 10 I don't know who will win but I would be shocked if NE gets beat by more than 10 points. I am not a huge stats guy, but over the past three years, when Tom Brady is the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots, they have lost 1 game by more than 10 points. Indy is hurting defensively, with both Marlin Jackson and Bob Sanders out. NE can and will score with Indy, who hasn't exactly been lighting the world on fire offensively, with San Francisco and Houston both leading in the fourth quarter the last two games. I always tell Hammer and Sam that I never bet against Peyton Manning or Tom Brady because they can change the game in a blink of an eye. With both teams playing each other though, all bets are off on that statement. I am going with my gut on this, and 10 points is just too much to pass on. If any team in the NFL is not intimidated by playing in Indianapolis vs. Peyton Manning it’s Tom Brady, Bill Bel-a-cheat and the New England Patriots. Pittsburg -7 vs. Cincinnati Put the 7 on the Steelers and take it down to a pick’em The Steelers may have played the best defensive football I have seen all year with their second half performance in Denver last week. Right now, defensively I don’t know if there is anybody better in the NFL. Their offense is producing big chunks of yards, both through the air and the ground. Mendenhall looks great, Big Ben looks great and their receivers; Holmes, Ward and the speed killer Wallace are doing a great job with yac. I know the Bengals are playing good football behind a new running game with C. Benson, but I don’t see them rolling into steel town to pull this one out. The Bengals may have pulled out some late game heroics in their first meeting, but Troy Polamalu was not playing in that game, which makes a huge difference (just ask Denver). I think the Steelers payback their rival and win this game. LOCK: Miami -10 vs. Tampa Bay Miami has played every team on their schedule extremely tough this year, including very good teams like Indy, New England and New Orleans. I really like betting on teams that are consistent and the Miami is exactly that. They don’t overlook their opponents, are stingy as hell defensively and nobody has been able to stop their running game. The rookie Josh Freeman played last week for Tampa and got a pass because nobody had film on him. Coach Tony Sparano may be one of the most underrated coaches in the league and will pressure the new kid relentlessly. He will study that film and understand what the kids strengths and weaknesses are. Miami pounds everybody in the league with their run, and have plowed over teams like the Jets, who own the best defense in the league statistically. Tampa is at the bottom of the league in all areas across the board both offensively and defensively. Tampa Bay will get very tired, very fast trying to stop that run game Miami will throw at them. Plus, don’t be surprised if Tedd Ginn doesn’t play a big part in special teams. I would be very surprised if Miami doesn't win this game by 14 or more.  The Midwestern United States mornings are turning colder; frost has set in, the crops are being harvested, and hundreds of whitetail deer are being trucked on the asphalt everyday. Rural Ohio is f*cking sweet!!!!!!! As a guy in the midst of a marital break up I constantly look to Speedman and Trotter’s picks as a small bright spot in my otherwise dismal existence. Not only are these guys genius (LMFAO) handicappers, but they are proven lifestyle consultants. A guy in my position…….you know………nearing middle age, ending a dysfunctional relationship, looking for a hot broad to “beat cakes” with, and trying to dodge the stigma of degenerate loser needs the humor laced excitement that Hogan’s top Cappers can offer. I remember the first time I spied Don Trotter. State hoops tournament in a drunken state. The guy has a neck that looks like a graphic relief map of Tibet. I could stop staring at him as he ranted about the many merits of Ann Arbor’s Jr. Pop Warner football squad. This guy’s intensity made Stripes Seargent Hulka and The Great Santini’s Lt. Col. “Bull” Meechum seem like she-male submissive trannys looking to get probed in the rusty sheriff’s badge. I had more lifestyle training from Speedman. I consider the guy a friend. I’m a protégé to his mastery. I hope I make you proud, Mr. Clean! This guy has intensity too, but I think his is brilliantly thought out and calculated. He and I cut up Key West like Escobar began cutting up the Columbian Bam-Bam. Chazz loves action. He is passionate about bookmaking like he is about whores. Sure he goes through stretches when he loves the gothic minxes, but who doesn’t……………Dark clothing, horrible looking make-up, abhorrent piercings, and the worst looking Dr. F*cking Martens on Earth. I get it, afterall tail = tail! Again, as a fellow with Midwestern ties I find myself gravitating towards Big 10 football. I can’t stay away from Notre Dame or Kansas either? Have you seen their respective coaches, “ A Wimp and a Blimp”….props to you Babs Jansen (Animal House in Reference to Flounder and Pinto). Finally, I have to illustrate the beauty that is Appalachia. Speedman says: These are 5 games I assure you none of you will watch. Alright C*NTS, lets get to these picks: University of Michigan @ University of Wisconsin -8.5 Wisconsin may have the biggest corn fed boys in all of the FBS. Einstein like Dick-Rod decided to go with a heavier conditioning routine in an attempt to increase speed and agility. Have you seen the UM defense? Think of Jody Foster vs. a posse of ruffians in a dimly lit honky tonk………If you are envisioning her chasis bent over a (really cool) vintage pinball machine having all dignity removed stroke by stroke………..we are on the same page. UM will get slapped around in this one too. Take “Jump Around”, the rowdy band, and all the drunks in Camp Randall in this match up. Um falls to 5-6 and being a “Michigan Man” is about as special as being voted to be the next actor in a snuff film. Speedman is supportive in this pick. I mean, the guy drinks Fiji bottled water. Don’t bet against a man at such a lofty social status! Speedman says: A $3.00 bottle of water shows that I enjoy the finer things in life, such as Budweiser in Cans, Jagerbombs, Cheese Curds and girls who are solid 4’s & 5’s. I’ve been to Camp Randle, it’s nice, especially all the 3’s and 4’s. I agree Wisconsin and the points. Notre Dame @ Pittsburgh Hey ND and Northern Indiana in general: Stick to making top quality mobile homes and fifth wheels because your football team SUCKS!!!!!!! F*cking Purdue has bigger wins this year than You do. Oh, but the mystique, the tradition, the four horsemen….blah, blah, blah. University of Pittsburgh is favored by a touchdown and is a lead pipe lock. Dion Lewis is a 5’8” Freshman running back for the Panthers. He’ll get loose like Charlie Weis does at Thornton Melon’s Tall & Fat stores and will run roughshod through the Irish defense. He is half the size of Chuckles Weiss and as elusive too. Picture this………Weis is smuggling his third Primanti Brothers Panini of the night into bed. His old lady comes in and in a panic Chuck decides to hide it under one of his many folds. Dion Lewis will hide behind Pitt’s large OL and then dash to the end zone. Bill Stull should have his way with the molasses slow DB’s of the ND secondary too. Dave “push-broom” Wannstedt makes Pitt fans love him more deeply after the Panthers molest the Irish in front of a National television audience on ABC. Hey Speedman, I love the way the Flozell collection has worked out for Charlie. The GUNT series was perfect for him just as it was for the original Chazz B. Speedman says: Flozell Adams created a clothing line for men over 500 lbs. Mangino and Weis are the picture of perfect health and fitness in America. What must the parents of their recruits think when these two mounds of lard walk in? I know what I’d be thinking, hide the pork reins. Wannstedt has the ultimate push-broom duster. His facial hair is third behind D-backs pitcher Clay Zavada and Oklahoma QB Landry Jones. If Jimmy the Greek were alive to talk about race relations and Pitt football I think he would say something similar to: “I like Pitt and Wannstedt’s caterpillar mustache to cover the spread 31-17.” RIP Jimmy... University of Nebraska (-4) @ Kansas University Mark Mangino has an appetite…..not exactly breaking news, I know. This guy makes Ralph Friedgen and Tom Amstutz look as diminutive as the Kenyan marathon team. The Basketball and Football teams are feuding on the Lawrence, Kansas campus while Mangino is hammering all the game footage and KC BBQ his boiler can handle. Hopefully everything in the film room is covered in gore-tex as I bet this guy sweats in bucket-fuls as he gnashes. Bo Pelini better hope Mark does not get the itch to chow during the post game handshake because I like Mangino in that match up. Nebraska is coming off a tough win vs. OU last week. I think they come in flat vs. the Fighting Fat F*cks. KU takes advantage of a mediocre effort and wins against the once vaunted “blackshirts” defensive unit. Not even dressing like Wiliam Belicheck and his other disciples (Weiss and McDaniel) will help the Big Red. Fat jokes aside, Man-gina is the owner of a great offensive mind. I believe he uses it to keep the Nebraska D off balance while allowing his own O to light up the scoreboard. Speedman says: A few years I invented a drinking game called Mangino. The rules are quite simple: Put on a Kansas Football game, every time you see Mangino you drink. The cameramen can’t get enough of this progressive eater. His enormous stature and gator arms are something to behold. I got hammered the night I came up with the concept, called a girl a C U Next Tuesday at the bar, threatened to fight her boyfriend (and possibly the girl…), took my shirt off, drove to Giant Eagle and gave my neighbors a yard job. With that said I’m going with the Huskers to cover 28-21. Sparty (-2.5) vs. Boilermakers Rossade Stadium is the home to a “pick ‘em match up, in my opinion. I can’t figure out either of these teams. Based on the line, I don’t even know if Jimmy “the Greek” Snyder would touch this one. F*ck it……..I roll with Trotter and Speedman. I’m confident in my picks because I base them on my wack ass thoughts. Honestly, I cannot type a sentence without thinking about golf or internet porn. I have the attention span of a four year old ADHD suffered tethered to a Ritalin Salt lick. Dantonio is the head coach of a Jekyll and Hyde team every goddamn Autumn. They kick ass and get their asses kicked. Purdue isn’t a lot different. They lose to NW and then handle Ohio State and their over-f*cking-rated quarterback for sixty minutes. I believe that Purdue does MSU like they did Richard Rodriguez’s cream puffs last week……Deep forced anal. A train isn’t scary, well maybe it is too some women, perhaps we should stick with the “Choo Choo” mascot variety, but a loss to Purdue should be if you’re a Spartan fan. I really like them at home vs. MSU Speedman Says: If you thought this was the worst game on the slate for Saturday, think again. (see below) Joey Elliott looks like Drew Brees one game and Drew Bledsoe the next. Danny Hope looks like a cop, I hate cops. Trotter hates cops, he really hates cops. I saw Trotter get taken down by the fuzz twice. I’ll let him tell the story. Dantonio is wearing out his welcome in Lansing b/c his team sucks. I like Purdue to go “Greek” on Sparty by a score 24-17. University of Kentucky (-3) vs. Vanderbilt I have family in Lexington. I’ve had some great times in the Commonwealth as well. Their football team is a perennial doormat in the SEC, but I think they can get over on Vandy. Vanderbilt University holds Ivy league type academic status in the SEC, but sadly their athletes cannot compete with graphing calculators or scanning electron microscopes on the gridiron. Rich Brooks is about as ragged out as Annabel Chong was after she established her 251 man gang bang record. My old roommate still has that Hustler…..Circa 1995 I believe. Brooks is still capable of leading the “Cats past the Commodores though. I bet the tailgating at this annual match up is sweet. Rhodents, vermin, and trash can raiding critters are cooked over an open fire. Fiddles and banjoes are strummed and harmonica groups play through toothless smiles. Grain alcohol is sucked down with the voracity a 10 hundred Indians! The Hatfields and McCoys get together once a year and this ain’t the crowd that is rocking porcelain veneers, cosmetically enhanced sweater puppets, or designer gear. You can be a fan for any team in Appalachia as long as you’re sporting your hunting gear including blaze orange and Mossy Oak/Real Tree Camouflage. This game is like homecoming for the “dentally and chromosomally challenged”. I’d love to see a 4 team playoff every year during Deer season for the Hill-Jack Cup. West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt would be the only participants. I’m not sure what part of the Appalachian Mountain foothills Ned Beatty was corn-holed in, but Appalachian people are, well…….interesting. Hillbillies know how to party and Vanderbilt knows how to lose. Take UK to beat the Commodores on Saturday. Speedman says: I love Joker Phillips. Any human that you meet named Joker is easily the coolest guy in the room. Unfortunately for Joker, Rich Brooks is still the head coach. Can anyone name a player on Vanderbilt’s team? That’s what I thought. Kentucky wins 4-0 and those in attendance have their eyes scooped out with a spoon. Bo Hogan followers, I hope you have enjoyed my initial foray into the college football picks. Thanks again to Masters Speedman and Trotter. Reading your offerings this year has inspired a douchebag like me to attempt putting my pen to paper. Yours Truly, Howie Feldersnatch Faber College 1996  When people ask me to describe myself I typically respond with same honest and candid answer: I’m the hero and villain. I play both sides against each other. I debate myself constantly. I’m articulate yet crude, vain yet self loathing. I’m proud and indolent at the same time. In other words, I am the most interesting man in the world. Not some jackass drinking a Dos Equis in a canoe surrounded by 2 eastern bloc hookers. Try drinking Absinthe at a strip club in Canada for $25 a shot. Then get fleeced for 50 bucks by a couple of Mounties after you punch a drunken pig’s mini-van for almost running you over. Who’s interesting mother f***ker, I am.So let’s recap last week’s games. Yours truly went 2-3. Not up to my usual standards but like I said before I hate gambling on Halloween. Michigan loses to badly to one of the worst teams in America. The worst team in college football, Miami of Ohio, wins. Then Tennessee shows up wearing black jerseys. South Carolina fumbles on their first 2 possessions inside the 20 and win. If there is a lesson to be learned it is do not gamble on Halloween. Just ask Don Trotter who went 3-7. If you’re keeping score, I know I am, Don is 5-11 over the past two weeks. I’ve heard Don has been watching “The Deer Hunter” a lot lately and might be on his way to ‘Nam. That brings me to another installment of how can I make you rich without working. Commit these lyrics to memory this weekend, “I’m on a boat and it’s going fast and I got a nautical themed Pashmina Afghan, I’m the king of the world, on a boat like Leo, if you’re on the shore, then you’re sure not me, oh, get the f**k up, this boat is real.” Houston vs Tulsa (-1.5) Last week Case Keenum threw for 551 yards and covered the spread with a last second touchdown over Southern Miss. That brought a smile to face as well as my bank account. This week Las Vegas hates the Cougars. I have a friend who hates a certain Cougar. It’s his future ex-mother in law. His younger brother banged her silly. I apologize for the rant. Houston wins this game by 7 and so do you. After this victory I’d suggest hitting your local 40’s plus bar such as Polo’s on Bethel Ave for a Cougarific time. New Mexico vs Utah (-.27.5) First off, I hate Mormon’s. A religion that gives out magic underwear is questionable. New Mexico is very bad and Utah might be one of the better one loss teams in the country. Let’s not forget they knocked off Alabama last year in the Sugar Bowl. Utah has made a switch at QB which makes me a little leery. But this is called gambling for a reason. Joe Pesci says, “the two Utes.” I don’t know what the hell that means but I like it. Utah wins with their magic panties 41-0. Illinois vs Minnesota (-6.5) The Minnesota Golden Gophers, who can figure this team out? Illinois and “Fat Head” Juice Williams decide to play their best game of the year against Michigan last week. Minnesota is one win away from being bowl eligible. They have motivation, a new stadium and terrible uniforms. If you decide to invest 3 hours and actually watch this game you better do copious amounts of Special K. For those of you not into the “scene” it’s Ketamine. I dated a girl once who used Special K; she’s probably dead by now or she’s staring at a ceiling fan. Any who bet the Gophers to win 23-10. Florida State vs Clemson (-8.5) World famous gum chewer/defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews is calling it quits. He’s coached 18 first round draft picks, including Deion Sanders. Deion once told an automobile body shop that instead of paying $4265.57 thatJesus told him to only pay $1500, true story. The case went to court and Deion won. Who knew Jesus was an insurance adjuster? Clemson has CJ Spiller, he’s fast, and head coach Dabo Sweeney. Dabo is a big league turd. I think Clemson wins but its close and close means FSU Covers. Go with God…and the Seminoles. Penn State vs Ohio State (+3.5) I hate picking for teams I root for. As if my involvement in the game needs to be heightened with a grand or two riding on the outcome. The shear enjoyment of my team winning should be enough. However we live in capitalist society where money means everything and Firefly is 5.50 a glass. I’ve studied this game long and hard, much like Peter North’s ability to shoot a jizz rope out of his pee hole. Beaver (Beavis and Butthead laugh) Stadium is the most intimidating atmosphere in college football. Terrelle Pryor throws like Lamar Latrell from Revenge of the Nerds fame. Pryor spent his off-season at “Jail House Tats,” refining his street cred. That alone will catapult you into the first round of the draft. “The hell with mechanics or footwork, I got a T and a P on my triceps.” The brotha makes this white boy Oprah Rich with 3 turnovers; PSU wins 27-6. Leroys Lounge: Chazz Speedman....Woooooo!!!! 10/30/2009
 Welcome to another installment of Leroy's Lounge where two of our top prognosticators have been battling it out for lead guru supremacy. And in the words of Kenny F'ing Powers, "Whatever it takes to set up a bet off......set that sh*t up!!!!" First from Chazz sent to Tom Hammer in back to back to back to back to back text messages from a stolen iphone!! I’m a limousine ridin’, jet flyin’, kiss stealin’, wheelin’ dealin’ son of a gun. WOOOOO!” The little guy kept repeating this to various strippers throughout the night after going 3-2 last Saturday with big dollars on BC to cover and the over on USC. Who knew the kid loved Red Bull? As Kiki and Annabelle performed various stripper tricks for us to celebrate our winnings my heart went out to those of you who followed Don Trotter’s less than stellar gambling advice. I respect the guy, really I do. (Not everyone can play DIII college football.) As the night went on, I had what some would call a moment of clarity, it was either that or the fact that I drank 25 Red Bull Vodka’s and ripped down 45 cigarettes for the super buzz. (Key West in the House) (Ed. note: bohogan.com cannot confirm the origins of the super buzz but we've left a voice mail with "birdman" Anderson to confirm) I shouldn’t chastise Don and his Jim Jones like followers, Scottie McMullen (who?), for believing in a man who, I personally witnessed, knocked a guy out with one punch outside of a Dublin Bar. (The victim subsequently pissed himself…no joke!) With that said, I’m truly not a fan of gambling on Halloween, too many distractions for the players. If you’re Tim Tebow, and you are playing at the world’s largest outdoor cocktail party, and every girl between 18 and 24 is dressed like slutty nurse, you could lose focus during a 3 hour game. I’m not a big excuses guy so let’s get to it. South Carolina (+5.5) at Tennessee This line makes me feel odd; similar to how I felt the first time I watched hot Brazilian Tranny porn. Yes Lane Kiffin is stuffing UT co-ed’s at an alarming rate, I have no proof, but come on right… UT has played Florida and Alabama close but they still got beat. Jonathon Crumpton sucks…enough said. I like the Ol’ Ball Coach and their defense which could give Florida a scare when they play in Columbia in a few weeks. Trannys and Cocks go hand in hand, pun intended, take the Cocks to explode all over UT with the 5.5. (Ed. Note: We may have to add an over 18 consent page before entering bohogan.com) Pick: SC and the points. Georgia Tech (-11.5) at Vanderbilt Is there anything more exciting than watching Tech run on every down? The answer is yes. But what can you say. Paul Johnson has the boys at Tech running an offense that’s older than Joe Pa and they’ve been waxing their opponents. Other than Jay Cutler, Corey Chavous and Hunter Hilenmeyer name 3 more Vanderbilt players in the NFL. Vanderbilt has exactly 5 players in the Hall of Fame, the last one played in 1937. The Rambling Wreck takes a dump on the smart kids from Nashville and cover the 11.5. Pick: Ga Tech -11.5 Michigan (-7) at Illinois Juice Williams…what happened. Everyone loved this kid after his sophomore year and now he’s pathetic. Here are some Juice Williams fun facts: he was a 15 lb baby and his head is currently the largest in NCAA history. (Ed. Note: That stat only reflects players, if coaches were included that obviously go to Charlie Weiss) That’s probably why he locks in on one receiver, his head weighs too much. Tate Forcier continues to play unimpressive football and the strength of his arm has been compared to most 4th grade girls. Rich Rod will have his boys focused with a solid ground game and numerous NCAA violations forthcoming; Illinois is bad and UM covers the 7. Pick: UM give the points. Toledo (-5.5) at Miami OH Miami is 0 for the season. They are not good. In fact they are absolutely pathetic. Toledo has bounced back nicely after getting murdered by the greatest OSU quarterback in history, Terrelle Pryor. How good is this Pryor? He’s demonstrated his greatness by throwing off his back foot, holding the ball like a glass bong and decision making…don’t even get me started. Where is my Heisman ballot? Someone let me know when this turd actually beats a team worth a damn. Back to Toledo and Miami: Toledo wins simply because the Miami players will be pre-occupied thinking about when the new JCrew catalog will be arriving. “Cattle prod the oyster ditch, with lap rocket,” therfore Toledo covers 5.5. Pick: Toledo givin up the points. Southern Miss at Houston (-6.5) How good are the Houston Cougars? No one really knows. They play in Conference USA which is the equivalent to a flag football league. I like Cougars, who doesn’t? How many times do you think the announcers will mention Brett Favre’s name during the broadcast? I hate Brett Favre and was ecstatic to see him get beat last Sunday by the Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers. Last week Don made a reference to Steelers fans being fat, bald with hairy backs. I’d like to respond by saying as a Steeler fan, I have the body of a Greek God and my back is hairless. I shave my head and arm pits because it keeps me more aerodynamic when I fight. I can take danger. Houston makes the Eagles scream for mercy and cover the 6.5. Pick: Houston lay the points Now for Don, picks sent to Hammer by carrier pigeon. Hey Tom, here's some picks to consider. Don't post these picks to the internet god dammit it's bad luck!!!! South Carolina vs. Tennessee Under 41.5 Arkansas -37 vs. E. Michigan Kentucky -3.5 vs. Miss. St Boston College -5.5 vs. C. Michigan Texas Tech -6.5 vs. Kansas Texas A&M - 6 vs. Iowa St Houston -6.5 vs. Southern Mississippi Mississippi -3.5 vs. Auburn Ohio -6.5 vs. Ball St. Michigan St. -3.5 vs. Minnesota New Mexico St +44 vs. OSU Indiana +17.5 vs. Iowa  Coke bottles and diapers....oh my!! Ahhhh, how they jump off the bandwagon so quickly. What do you really say after a losing weekend? Well, you step back, take a second and start thinking logically. First and foremost even the best handicappers in the world are roughly 55% to 60% correct, "Professional sports bettors, by comparison, rarely sustain a long term winning percentage higher than 57 or 58 percent, and it's often as low as 54 or 55 percent. People find that hard to believe, and they understandably get even more skeptical when told that, for a genuine professional-level sports bettor, a long term winning expectation of 60% or more is actually too high." (Ed. Note: The source of this quote is unknown however we believe it was either something Sam Rothstein Jr. muttered in a gin induced stupor or it was in "High Times!" Which 50% of the time, is 100% accruate, all of the time!) In the first two weeks of keeping track, it is in my opinion that a 10-10 record and 3-1 in locks is pretty good. And if you are solid in your betting pattern, which means putting more money on the locks, then you should be doing just fine, "The measure of success of a sports handicapper is not his percentage of winning bets, but the relative amount of profit he made over any given period of time." (Ed. Note: This quote is literally on one of those motivational posters on Don Trotters ceiling in his bedroom. I shit you not) If I can look back on a bet and feel good about it, its not all that bad. (Ed note: Huh??) For instance, let's look at the Steelers game. Although we all know their fans are bald, fat and have lots of back hair, they still should have beaten the Browns by more than 14 right? One would think. But two fumbles on back-to-back drives inside their own 20 yard line, while up 13 in the fourth quarter and only needing FG's to cover, makes me proud of that bet. If it weren't for the incompetence of "Fast" eeerrrr "Fumble" Willie Parker and Reshard Mendenhall, that game covers easily. Furthermore, in the Bills game, Trent Edwards had been playing really bad football, but I guess my crystal ball didn't see some turd named "Fitzpatrick" come into the game and play like Joe Montana. Lastly, I can still look back on that Texas game and be proud I made the right choice. Three turnovers in the red zone while leading 16-13, again only needing a FG to cover, suggest I made the correct play. With that said, I'm not here to make excuses. As a gambler you can't. If you don't like fumbles, turnovers, injuries and phantom penalties that cost you a cover on your bet, then don't bet. It's all part of the action. As aforementioned, all you do is take a step back, take a deep breath and move forward toward the next weeks games. What you don't do is jump off the bandwagon, start calling people "horrible" and then use a child as a tactical comeback (that's just grotesque). (Ed note: That's a shot at you Chazz in case you are drunk, which there is 99% chance that at 6:14pm on a Friday you are!) So as of now, I stand an overall 10 & 9 with a push, or 10-10 if you see it that way, and 3-1 in my locks. Without further delay here is the action. See if you can draw a correlation (Ed note: This is head to head with Chazz's baby! Though I'd tee it up!) Notre Dame -8 UCONN +7.5 Under USC/Oregon St. Indiana +5.5 Virginia +5.5 LOCK Michigan beats diaper wearing, Coke bottle glasses, can't form complete sentences in a press conference, shit pants, looks like Gargamel from the Smurfs, pee-pee breaks in the middle of games, I stole Where's Waldo's pants, blind, clueless, slobbering, 98 year old JOE Paterno AND his HEAVILY overrated, quarterback looks like a linebacker who can't throw and wears wristbands around his triceps like the Ultimate Warrior, no offense, terrible secondary, we always lose at Michigan, Penn State Football Team.  Speedman's Nephew Contimplating the Lines! Bohogan.com received this email from one of our contributing lifestyle consultants Chazz Speedman. In living a bohogan lifestyle, just as important as it is to make sure you are an active gambler, it is equally as important to be able to light up anyone from whom you took gambling advise and lost. Chazz Speedman email to bohogan.com: Similar to Bo Hogan I too have been hiding out Bin Laden style waiting for just the right time to re-emerge with some new message to deliver to our vast audience. Ironically I’ve been consumed by this whole career thing (see my previous post) which I’m sure will be over shortly. I’ve managed to con a large company that I’m a valuable employee and a real asset. Needless to say my family celebrates my accomplishments monthly by lighting my old unemployment check stubs on fire and throwing them at me. Can you feel the love? While I’m hiding out in corporate America like the rest of you slobs, I’ve been focused on my real career…degenerate gambler. If it’s not poker online it’s sports gambling. I decided to take some Don Trotter’s advice last week. (He can be quite convincing after 10 Jager Bombs and 8 Guinness drafts. Yes Don, I still have fond memories.) However as a modern day version of Jimmy the Greek, you, my friend are horrible. I lost big time on Saturday and Sunday, but that’s why we have Monday to win it all back and make it rain like PacMan at a strip club. So I decided to ask my nephew (pictured above) to pick 5 college games to see who’s a better prognosticator, did I mention he’s 4… (Ed. Note: While bohogan.com confirms Chazz's nephew is 4, for full disclosure purposes, we did confirm that he has above average cognitive abilities for that age. Rumor has it he is friends with the little baby in the etrade commercials who plays golf with shankapotimis!) Here are my baby nephews picks. We'll see if he does better then Trotter!! Indiana at Northwestern (-5.5) Last week Don took Illinois over the Hoosiers. Illinois is quite possibly the worst team in major college football and they lost by 13. So based on the lack of skill it takes to become a prognosticator, I held out two crayons: crimson and purple. He picked purple. So there you have it, lock it in, Northwestern covers the 5.5. Pick: Purple crayon to cover. Georgia Tech (-5.5) at Virginia Virginia Tech was embarrassed last week by the Rambling Wreck. The Yellow Jackets threw the ball exactly 1 time…the whole game. This time I showed him a picture of Ga Tech’s mascot “Buzz” and then pointed to a Coldwater Cavalier football helmet to simulate the Virginia side. He loved Buzz to cover the 5.5 and so should you. Pick: "Buzz" the mascot to cover Connecticut at West Virginia (-7.5) This game is interesting for 2 reasons: 1) The mountaineer mascot. Nothing says white trash like a coon skin hat. 2) University of Connecticut sponsored parties must be off the chain…RIP Jasper! My future parenting skills really should be questioned as I show our young prognosticator a knife and a wife beater. He grabs the shirt and throws it in the air. That’s good enough for me. West Virginia wears Kevlar Uniforms sponsored by Nike and celebrates by drinking copious amounts of Everclear. Pick: West Virginia wife beater t-shirt and everclear. Boston College (+8) at Notre Dame Am I the only one who calls Charlie Weis by his real name, Moose Knuckle? His pompous attitude and arrogance makes Catholics everywhere sick. This one is tough b/c my young friend is becoming un-amused and wrestless with my little charade. I show him a cross and a Red Sox hat. He puts that hat on faster than you can say Doug Flutie. Notre Dame has been in close games all year long and I suspect this will be no different based on the smile on this kids face. BC covers like a Snuggie. Pick: Boston teams, skin flutie and snuggies!!! Oregon State vs USC (O/U 50.5) I love money and apparently so do the Trojans. Yes, I like saying Trojans it makes think of a simpler time. I’m not a sick-o and didn’t show the kid a box of Trojans. I simply asked him over or under. He points up and says over. I see this kid getting a lifetime supply of Trojans after these selections. Matt Barkley and crew put up 6 TD’s and allow 2. Unless something’s changed since I cheated my way through college, more specifically business calculus, that’s 56 points. Pick: Lots of points; protected sex and solid math!  Trotter shows you how to stick it to your bookie in week 6 Here is the secret to the NFL that I have found. Bad team playing Bad team, tough call. Good team playing good team, tough call. Good team playing bad team, take the spread. For two weeks the heavy favorites are covering most of the time. This week I take the same approach. Steelers -14 vs. Cleveland I think we have all had time to digest what 2 of 17 for 23 yards means. Derek Anderson's quarterback rating was 15.1% (I think Tony Goodwin, aka "Murder Fooker" actually had a higher ACT score than that). Cleveland has absolutely ZERO offensive presence. They have no deep threat now that Braylon Edwards is gone, their quarterback play is simply atrocious and their running back is 72 years old. The Steelers have found a new little toy in Reshard Mendenhall and Big Ben has been playing great football. I see no reason to believe that the Steelers won't roll the Clowns at home. Take Pitt and give the 14. Patriots -9 vs. Tennessee I kept thinking that the Titans were going to come out of their funk, but it's just that bad. They can't stop the run, can't pressure the quarterback, their WR's are pathetic and Kerry Collins is playing like Derek Anderson. The Patriots are probably not real happy with last weeks debacle and Tom Brady was visibly PISSED OFF after missing Randy Moss and Wes Welker for two easy touchdowns which would have put the game out of reach in Denver. I think Tom Brady has a lot to prove and they put the smack down on the Titans. If I didn't like another game more, I would have picked this game as my lock. Be that as it may, mark it down; Pats by more than 9. Eagles -14 vs. DA RAAAIDERS Antonio Pierce was interviewed on a local radio show in LA and said that playing the Raiders was like playing a scrimmage. He went further, stating that the Raiders play with no emotion, no energy and don't care. Enough Said. Jamarcus Russell is Kerry Collins Bad, who is Derek Anderson bad. Last week in their 44-7 loss to the Giants he was 8 of 13 (Wow.) The Eagles are playing very solid football and have a savvy, veteran group on the defensive side of the ball to make the Raiders look just like they did vs. The Giants. Plus, their head coach is about to have the silver bracelets put on him after they arrest his ass for assault on one of his assistant coaches (Seriously Buddy Ryan, you can't go around punching your assistant coaches!). The Eagles take out the trash and cover the 14. NY Jets -9.5 vs. Buffalo I may not have chosen this game if it weren't for Derrelle Revis. Although I hate Terrell Owens more than any football player to ever put on a uniform, he does have the ability to cover the spread for teams with his deep threat ability. With that said, Derrelle Revis is legit, shut down Randy Moss and will love the challenge to do it vs. TO. Furthermore, if TO couldn't get off on the Clowns in an offense that scored THREE points vs. Cleveland (AT HOME), I don't see him doing anything on the road vs. this Jets team. Rex Ryan will blitz Trent Edwards so much he will be begging JP Losman to come back from the UFL. Everybody watched the Jets on Monday Night. They have a solid attack offensively and defensively. The POUND the Bills badly. Lay the 9.5. Panthers - 3 vs. Tampa Bay (LOCK) The Panthers screwed me out of winning $5600 last week by not covering the four point spread, winning by only 3 (I believe I said the "F" bomb 4,265 times this week thinking about that game and I just said it again as a matter of fact). Anyway (FUCK!!) I still believe in Carolina and I'm going to give them another shot to turn my frown upside down. I know Jake Delhome is very inconsistent, but he can throw 8 picks in this one, and the Panthers can still win (Yes, Tampa is that bad). Carolina's defense is ranked 6th in the NFL and I'm banking on their two headed monsters at running back to go off on the 28 worst defense in the league. So, I'm taking the 6th ranked defense vs. a Josh Johnson lead offense, who threw 3 INT's last week in a 33-14 loss to the Eagles, to cover the three. LOCK IT UP BITCHES any lay the 3.  Trotter Bags This Weeks Picks Welcome to Leroy's Lounge and the week 7 college football edition of Don Trotter "the pissed off and slightly intoxicated football genius" stone cold picks of the week. Last week Mr. Trotter posted a respectable 6-4 mark in college and pro games combined, while hitting both of his stone cold pipe hitting locks. A successful handicapper will hit a very high % of the locks so when betting you should always appropriately weight your bets so that you have more riding on the locks. (Answering machine....Beep) Don Trotter: "Tom....sent you the college picks. Put down the bottle of booze and go post these smoking hot picks so readers can get rich! Do it now jack off!!!!" Let’s just start it off with a bang and pick one of the high profile games of the weekend; BG vs. Ball St. Ball State is defeated this year and even managed to pull a Michigan and lose to a DI-AA school in New Hampshire. Ball State has also lost to North Texas, who only has one win (should I do that math for you?) Ball St + Defeated vs. North Texas + One Win = North Texas 20 vs. Ball State 10. Bowling Green State University doesn’t have a very good record themselves but a closer look may suggest otherwise. BG has played and beaten Troy (Good Team) and went on the road last week to defeat Kent State. They played with a very good Ohio U team (44-37) and lost to Mizzu and Boise State (both solid teams). Two reasons I like this game; I have done several Keg Stands at BG and when you say BG MINUS THREE out loud it sounds cool and rhymes. (Ed. Note: Don also has several drunken disorderly conducts and urinating in public charges from BGSU) Pick: Lay the points BG – 3. Keeping within the concept of HUGE games, let’s talk a little Hoosier football. IU just got absolutely crushed by Virginia, a team who lost to William & Mary; yes that is the name of a college not two high school kids who got caught having sex in a ’76 Cut (rip shit up!). I have watched IU play two full football games against UM and OSU. They are not good, not good at all. I know bohogan tried to tell us that Bloomington, at night, was a tough place to play and to be a little wary of the OSU/IU game. We then found out that Bo was either drunk or just trying to encourage his wife so we forgave him. (Ed. Note: In all reality bohogan rarely leaves the tailgate so its doubtful he's ever been inside the stadium in Bloomington) I realize Illinois football stinks, but Ron Zook did have very high expectations for this team and they do have some very good athletes. Please tell me that Illinois can beat Indiana by more than three? I think so, and not only do I think so but, LOCK IT UP BITCH. Fighting Zookers are my LOCK of the weekend to beat Indiana by more than three points. Pick: Lay the points, Illinois -3. Again, I am not shying away from the big games and going to pick the winner of the MSU Bulldogs and MTS Blue Raiders (who and who?). Mississippi State has played some good football against some tough teams; Georgia Tech, Houston and LSU (who they should have actually beat). I like their coach a lot (the old offensive coordinator from Florida) and he has the Bulldogs in every game they have played. Conversely the Blue Raiders have been beaten by Clemson (badly) and Troy. Their wins are against Memphis and North Texas (There’s that team again). I think an SEC team in Mississippi State goes on the road and easily beats a team with lesser talent by more than 4.5. Plus, their nickname is the same as the “Green & White Fight, Fight, Fight” Celina Senior High School Bulldogs.(Ed note: Don is known to still wear his CSHS freshman football jersey) Pick: Lay the points, MSU -4.5. Okay, lets get serious about some games that will be in the national spotlight. The big game of the weekend. Texas vs. OU. I don’t know how you can have a revenge game and the team wanting the revenge is the team that won last year’s contest. Texas is not happy about beating OU last year, and then having to watch Okla.,their rival, play for the NC. In close games like this one I ALWAYS go with the better coaching and better QB. Colt McCoy will not only win this game, but the Heisman trophy AND I think Texas wins the National Title. "Chokelahoma" will lose yet another huge game so “Big Game Bob” Stoops can keep his name. I like Will Muschamp’s defensive mind, I like Texas’s white boy WR and I like Colt McCoy, who is completing 76% of his passes. (Ed note: Wes Welker-esque is a term for Shippley. On a side note, my cousin who hates Texas told me Roy Williams wears fake green contact lenses.) Bradford may be back, but he is HORRIBLE when teams pressure him. Muschamp will cook up a great defensive game plan to rattle him just as Florida, Miami and BYU did. Pick: Take Texas -3. Lastly, let’s go to the ACC showdown game between Va. Tech vs. Ga. Tech. GT is coming off a shoot out with FSU and managed to pull out a close victory. The difference in this game is, they won’t score like that vs. VT. Va. Tech has always had a very disciplined defense that runs to the ball and creates turnovers. The worst thing for Ga. Tech’s offense is 3rd and Long, which I think they will be in a lot of. GT will score some, however Va. Tech finally has an offense this year and will score more, which in a shoot out game; advantage VT. Pick: Va. Tech - 3. Leroys Lounge Vol. 2 featuring Don Trotter "the pissed off and slightly intoxicated football genius" 10/10/2009
Loyal Bo Hogan readers, it's time for the NFL edition of Leroy's Lounge. Don't bet on these if you hate money! Eagles -15 vs. Tampa Bay Rarely in my lifetime I have ever taken an NFL spread this high. But… Tampa Bay… Good Lord. Has anybody actually watched this team play? Now they have a back-up playing over Bryon Leftwich, who, by the way, holds the best passing stats ever. Versus the Giants two weeks ago Leftwich was 7 of 16 for 22 yards. (For Pete Sake Bryon, that is just gross. My daughter Camryn walked around in her poop diaper after eating chili, hot wings and shrimp and she thinks that’s gross). Josh Johnson now gets the start, who was a stellar 13 of 22 for 100 yards vs. THE REDSKINS! Josh Johnson is from San Diego. The College not the City. No, not San Diego State, just San Diego. I know. I’ve never heard of them either. So anyway, the Eagles will stack the box to shut down Cadillac and make “Josh Johnson” beat them. Oh, and Andy Reid got a bye week to prepare. The Eagles just crushed the Chiefs 34-14. Good luck Josh Johnson. Good Luck Tampa Bay. I easily and comfortably give the 15. Eagles 57 Tampa 5. Carolina -3.5 vs. Washington Now I know you are probably thinking I am taking the Panthers because Washington got beat by a team who hadn’t won a game in 18 tries, then BARELY beat the aforementioned team quarterbacked by Josh Johnson. Well, Yes and No. The main reason I am taking the Panthers is because Washington just hired a 67 year old man who has been out of football for five years to be their O/C. Now I know you’re probably waiting for a couple good one-liners poking fun at that but honestly, I’m so dumbfounded that I just typed that, I can’t think. When new Coach Sherman Lewis was asked what he has been doing lately, his response, and I quote, “Actually I had to go to the senior center and cancel my Bingo calling.” I’m officially at a loss for words. Even if you don’t win this bet, please take it just for common sense purposes. Please read this next line out loud: “The Washington Redskins just hired a 67 year old man who has been out of football for five years and is calling Bingo at a local senior center to help call plays” . Pats -3 Over Broncos A friend of mine sat in my living room last Saturday and asked me who I liked for Sunday. I told him that there was no way I could see a Bill Belacheat team losing two in a row, especially at home. The next day I took the Pats and they covered for me over the Ravens. Well, now I am saying that there is NO WAY Bill Belacheat will allow a 33 year old student of his to beat him. No Way. I just refuse to believe that he will let that happen. He may stay up all night long to ensure that doesn’t happen. Plus, Kyle Orton? Really? I know they have Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal, but Kyle Orton? This bet is simply based on “I will believe it when I see it”. I just don’t see the Broncos winning this game. LOCK: Minnesota -10 vs. St. Louis Rams I don’t even know where to start with this. First, Kyle Boller is Bryon Leftwich bad. Last week he threw one pick six, fumbled once and was 5 of 16 on 3rd downs. After FIVE turnovers, their offense ended up with 177 yards TOTAL offense. The Rams were shut out for the second time last week (Seattle beat them 28-0 in week one also). Green Bay beat them, in St. Louis, by 19 (I know all you watched that Monday Night game, so compare Green Bay to Minnesota). There are so many funny things I could say right now about how Jared Allen and that Defensive Line will completely dominate the Rams, but I am just going to say... Dear Kyle: Godspeed my friend, Godspeed. Minnesota EASILY wins this game. Easily. Even if Bret Favera is 82 years old. **Bonus Bet(s): I like the over in the Ravens/Bengals game and the Steelers to cover the 10 in Detroit. | Tom Hammer
