Before we go any further, I should probably mention that I'm a degenerate gambler. Actually I'm a degenerate a lot of things, but gambling is the focus here so I'm gonna leave it at that. You're talking about a guy who had to hit a 12 team bowl parlay last year so as to avoid the sale of a kidney to a bookie. The type of guy who has strong feelings about Tennis matches, and proceeds to gamble half his net worth on men who's first name he isn't familiar with. For Gods Sake, I learned the rules to ODI Cricket to bet on the World Cup. I'm not proud of these things, but what I am is a winner. I have successfully predicted the winner of every major sporting event in the last year (Except the Womens World Cup, but come on, women, and sports???). The regular season is where I dig myself into a hole, but when it counts I shine.
Last year I predicted that The God of Thunder Thor Clay Matthews and Mr. Discount Double Check Aaron Rogers would win the namesake of their franchises most famous leader. I even made a distinction down to the two teams that played in the AFC Championship, I said it would be either the Jets or the Steelers facing off against the Packers for the title. Did I bet it, of course not, I let my bookie convince me that the defending Super Bowl champs had a legit shot. Then this happened.
God I love this video.
Never said I was a good gambler, just that I know things. This year I am sticking to my guns, and I've got a feeling. There is a total of 12 teams in the playoffs right now. I will start it this way, knock 8 out, right off the bat. Only 4 teams have a shot at this in my mind. Pats, Giants, Saints and Steelers. 2 AFC teams 2 NFC teams. It looks like Matt and I are going to be doing something fun for the playoffs here, so I'm going to hold off on a true prediction. In the mean time, enjoy watching 3 of the 4 teams who actually have a chance to win this years SB this weekend.
P.S. Knowing my luck and Gods sense of humor all 3 will lose and I'll be forced to claim I knew it was gonna be the Pats all along, and root for my hated rivals. Hell I may even throw in a 3 team ML Parlay against myself.
P.P.S. Wow, I may need help.
