Alright, if anybody has read Bill Simmons' Week 8 picks, you can rest assured that the Easycovers Staff and Bill are on the same wavelength. Just like the "simbotics" of Bill in his column, Rule #1 of the Insanity Report is "stick with your gut"!!!! Well Rule #1 was that the Home team is the almighty tie-breaker, but in actuality for the past 4-5 years, I've been kicking myself with the ultimate Monday-Morning-Quarterback Hindsight of 1800-20.....and that is: TRUST THE INSANITY REPORT!!! That is, I'd get some takes in early with an Insaniy Report, and then over analyze the games and make some changes here and there. That sort of paralysis through analysis is as useless as breaking down a Marisa Miller-Kate Beckinsale match-up!!!! As the EA Sports guy says.....lets file that under: non-issue!!!!
Anyways, the point being is just like Bill's "simbotics": TRUST YOUR GUT. I should've trusted the original Insanity Reports and all would be good in the universe. Well all is good in the Universe....the UNC Tar Heels are defending College Hoops champs. Shit, stay off the tangents Adolph!!!
This weeks pick look as such:
(These aren't official until final consultation with the Easycovers Staff Sunday morning before kick-off, but here goes.....)
DEN +160 @ BAL: With this, I'm sticking to my gut. I've made some good money on Denver all season, and each time I've placed a bet for the Junk-in-da-Bronc, I've been scared constipation-ful AND the Broncs have pulled through. That is exactly what's going on this week: I have a hunch on da Bronc, betting them scares the be-Shuttlesworth outta me and they better pull through!!!!
JAX +145 @ TENN: Will Vince Young EVER be ready to start an NFL game? That's the question. One answer is: Not this week. He's never showed any signs of wanting to dig the Titans out of their hole during their oh-fer run, and by forcing him to start is doing no one any favors. This should make the GM of the Houston Texans look even more the genius by picking Mario Williams over Vince.
DAL-9.5 vs. SEA: Seattle made a call to Brian Bozworth and Cortez Kennedy this week to see if they were available. They are going too deep into their no-so-deep depth chart with these injuries. Plus, the new Jerry Jones Mausoleum is indeed a dangerous place to play for visiting teams. Also also, Tony Romo's new found relationship with Miles Austin has started the "Romo-stin Watch" in this past issue of US Weekly!!!! Enjoy the honeymoon bettors, and ride the 'Boys -9.5. Plus some spreads have the Cowboys at -10, so get your picks in early before the spread keeps rising like Jennifer's waistline. Uhhhh, too soooooon!!!!!
IND -13 vs. SF: The new found hook-up between Alex Smith and Vernon Davis last week vs. HOU won't happen this week vs. the Colts. Peyton's not gonna let this happen. Cue the 20 point spreads in 1-2 weeks for the Colts.
ARI -10 vs. CAR: It's nice to ride the Warner-Fitz-Anquan wave, but even better to ride their under-rated Defense. Cue up 2 pick sixes for the Cards secondary from Daylight-Come-and-Me-Wanna-Del-INT!!!!!
NO -11 vs. ATL: Nawlins took apart the NY Football Giants 2 weeks ago at home. What makes any of us think that the Yippe-ki-yay-Mr-Falcons are in the same stratosphere as the G-Men!!!! Plus like we should've done last week, and like it was written (so let it be so), keep riding the Saints-Covering-Every-Week Wave!!!! (NOTE: "Yippeee-ki-yay-Mr-Falcon" was a sorry attempt to cover the MF-er part in this classic line on the TV version of Die Hard 2, which made this even more of a classic)
SIDE NOTE: Does anyone find it extremely weird that Tim Tebow broke the SEC career rushing TD record today????? He's a QB and he broke Hershal Walker's record. Herschel Walker!!!! He was a pretty decent RB in a long list of killer SEC running backs and Tim friggin Tebow broke his record. I'm so rattled I have no idea how to spell Hershall!!!!!
