2018 NFL Week 9 Picks Against The Spread

Rather than Thursday's in the Loo, it's time for NFL Football picks in the toilet.... putting that seat or content down loading time to good use?

Two weeks ago a diaper truck theme... at least we crawled above 50% 3 weeks running, and can smell 50% YTD?  Or is that smell our picks?  It's time for a change? Me thinks so.


Last week, The Big Lebowski theme...  Indeed, one might ask where's the money or say PU!!!! Much like El Duderino, our picks and locks have gone down the toilet five weeks running.

How does one follow up on malodorous nappys and head bobbing in the loo? In our case this season, we have no problem opening new doors?

As noted yesterday with our horrid YTD results 57-61-3 47%; Locks 17-21-2 43%, Our improved locks provide little solace, as we continue to "wallow in the mire".


As one can tell, we are not a happy camper, however this comes as no surprise to Moi...
As the years crawl by and CRS creeps in, we have forgotten more than most know. What are our expectations on how we will we fare this year? We know even less than we did last year, so with the odds stacked against us... horribly and TBD as to severity.Week 1 Picks September 6th
So our faithful readers can't say we didn't warn them well in advance. At least we nailed that prediction?  Moving West with tongue in cheek... 

After 8 weeks and 121 games: The public leader is SoCalSeniors at 68-48-5, and the Boston Globes Ben Volin leads "experts" at 70-46-5.  By our shopped spread we trail the leaders, public by 11 and "expert" by 13. 

Shaking our head in utter disbelief... shall we continue to utilize a double headed wooden nickel in making our selections? Perhaps...  That's life, that's what all the bookies say, you're ridin high pre game, shot down by late Sunday....

or more apropos for this week's theme... The time to hesitate is through, No time to wallow in the mire, Try now we can only lose, and our picks become a funeral pyre....
