There’s a reason why I don’t gamble any more. I thought bringing back the ATS feature for the NFL playoffs was going to be fun. It was a train wreck. I hope to God nobody listened to a thing I had to say about the wild card games this past weekend.
Stick to your day job could be applied here. After I got done crying watching the Cubs World Series video, I was crying about my picks. 0-4…it’s impossible to do worse. To think if I actually put money on those games.
That’s my silver lining: at least I didn’t lose any money. That makes me feel a little better. But to not even get one game right, that makes me feel like crap. It’s still losing, and I hate losing. Whether it’s some stupid picks, a game of chess on my iPad, or a game of Madden against my nephews, I don’t like to lose. Not sure if anybody likes it. I always try to do good at whatever I do, and when I don’t, it pisses me off.
Ok, enough whining. So I picked every single game ATS wrong this week. It was a crappy weekend of football. I didn’t watch much; I’d be in a worse mood had I. I can still sum it up for you.
There was a third string rookie QB getting his first start throwing to WRs who couldn’t catch and got injured vs a million dollar QB who got benched but was brought back to start the playoffs. Raiders Texans snooze fest.
Next, a franchise who has never won a super bowl, dropping passes, playing a team whose coach dipped out for the NFL just in time before the sanctions came down on him. Lions suck and I hate the Seahawks.
The self destructing Dolphins whose QB got absolutely destroyed against the Steelers who had every ref in their back pocket but didn’t need them.
The loudest mouth WR in the NFL who couldn’t catch a pass to save his life in the biggest game of his career a week after partying it up against the team I hate the most in professional sports. The NFL sucks.

You think I would close down the ATS feature, but like any good gambler, I’m back for more; I’m back to try to even my record. It can’t get worse this weekend; it can only be the same. That alone has me fearless in the face of total embarrassment.
Going with all dogs in week 1, all road teams, didn’t pay off. I’m going oppo in the divisional round. Here they are:
Atl -4.5 Sea
NE -16 Hou
KC -2 Pit
Dal -4 GB
In summary, I pick against the Seahawks who I hate. I picked for the Pats who I hate, but the Texans suck so bad they don’t deserve to be in the playoffs. Picking for KC who besides Atlanta, is now the team I want to win the Super Bowl over a Steelers team that makes me sick. Finally, picking a Cowboys team that makes me sick over the team I will never pick.
I don’t even know why I’m writing this blog. I need to get back to Chicago sports. This crap is making my head hurt. At the end of the day, there’s really only one more thing I want to see in this NFL season, and that’s the end of the Packers season. Here’s hoping.

I finished a bit better at 1-3 last weekend…still nothing to write home about as it would be money lost. The home favorites covered every game. Can they do it again this weekend? Think 1 dog barks. Just waiting for the cheese to go bad and be tossed for the year!
Sea+5-as much as I hate this team, they have been there and done that. They are a different team on the road but think they cover and lose…wouldnt mind the falcons blowing them out, though.
Ne-15.5-huge line no matter what time of year but in the playoffs? Really? How can you put money on the texans no matter how many points they are getting? This is the worst team in the playoffs, and the pats show them why.
Kc-1.5-like pit with bell at rb but think this is a weird line. Kc is a strong team and will show it at home. Should be a close game that the chiefs pull out to advance.
Dal-4.5-not convinced bout this dallas team even after the year they had…not sure why. Just have a feeling that the cheese luck finally goes sour. Hope dak and zeke take care of business and put a smile on Bears fans’ faces until their 3rd pick in the draft!
