Ev's Extra Extravaganza

From my last entry, I wrote:

A wise man once told me today “This year, to be effective in picking football
winners in drafts and sports select, you have to know absolutely NOTHING about
football”.

So, to carry on this trend, I have "purchased" the expert advice of the one person who I know has absolutely no knowledge about football. I consult K.T. after I have finished my analysis and published my picks. In no way shape or form do I tell or hint to K.T. about who I picked and therefore this is all her own thinking. K.T., a very bright and lovable beauty, has developed a pick proof plan that will pick the winners every week, thus leaving the rest of the guys feeling like they've been "kicked in the kohones". K.T.'s picking philosophy includes knowing what the team colours are, deciding if they match the team's mascot name, finding out which team has more black guys at certain positions, and deciding which town seems to be "tougher". Last, K.T. only plays point spread because that is what all the "high roller's" play. So, in her coming out party, these are K.T.'s week 4 picks.

* Quick Note: For those who may not have caught on yet, whenever the - 4.5 or -6.5 etc is posted by a team's name it means that the team is favoured to win. The reason why it is posted as a half number is for sport select gamblers to understand what the team is favoured by. For instance, the Colts are favoured in the first game by 9.5 points. Meaning, if you want the Colts to win (in the gambling world, this would be taking the points) they have to score greater than 9.5 points (10 points or more). You can't score half points in football. Therefore, the opposite is to take the Jets to lose by less than 10 points (9 points or less) this is called "the cover". Meaning, that if you take the Jets to cover the spread, you are chosing the Jets to lose by less than 10 points or to win by any number of point or points. Thus, simply, the 9.5 points means that the colts must score more than 9.5 points (10 or more) to cover the spread and for the gambler to win on that game or the Jets to cover less than 9.5 points (9 or less) and thus there can either lose the game by 9 or less points or win it by any number of points for the gambler to win that specific game on his betting ticket. Sounds confusing... good, but it is easy to catch on once you look at it for a bit.

Game #5 Seattle Seahawks @ Chicago Bears (-3.5)

K.T's pick for week 4 --->

Ev's pick for week 4 --->

So, by the looks of things, my picks and K.T.'s picks are same. Thus, these picks must be winners because they are backed by both hours of football analysis and minutes of thought by a person who knows absolutely nothing about football. The consensus is made so bet big this Sunday.

At the end of each week, I will post my record and K.T.'s record to see if the wise man's theory is correct.
