A gambling dive into week 11 of the NFL
In order to be a “professional gambler”, you need to reach the percentage of 54%, which I have never known. I always assumed it would have to be north of 60% in order to afford a lifestyle, where taking chances with your rent or car payment, could leave you in shambles, or enjoying a night out.
I love Las Vegas!
That being said, I am confident I can handle it. Just this past week, I went 8-5, winning my “lock of the week”, with Seattle taking down the undefeated 49ers. Vegas gave me 6.5 points. I love it.
So here we go…
Pittsburg (+3) Cleveland
New Orleans (-5.5) Tampa Bay
Atlanta (+5.5) Carolina
Denver (+10.5) Minnesota
New York Jets (+1.5) Washington
Buffalo (-5.5) Miami
Houston (+4.5) Baltimore
Arizona (+11.5) 49ers
New England (-3.5) Philadelphia
Cincinnati (+10.5) Oakland
Chicago (+6.5) Los Angeles Rams
Kansas City (-4) Los Angeles Chargers
As you can clearly see, I’m a genius. I have won more than I’ve lost and that has to stand for something. But side note, I want to tear into these particular teams…
Chicago Bears : Being “pot committed” to a quarterback that you just can’t use, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have moved him. The Bears failing to acquire Cam Newton was disappointing. I would trade Mitch Trubisky for a warm Dr. Pepper and a cold grilled cheese.
Minnesota Vikings : Continue to impress. While I don’t see the long haul commitment to excellence in any fashion, I have to give Kirk Cousins his due. After being called out by his #1 target (who hasn’t been playing, due to injury), I am still impressed with Kirk – even though I am waiting for the other shoe to drop.
