Lloyd Christmas had a one in a million chance to swoon Mary Swanson. Tim Tebow had a one in a million chance to succeed in the NFL.

So you're telling me there's a chance.

I’m adopting a new betting commandment called the Halo Rule. It states: Thou shalt never bet against Saint Tebow.

They said Timmy couldn't throw. He doesn't need to. They said Timmy couldn't run the option. He is. Like I’ve said before, this kid has the hand of God behind him, and the big man upstairs is a southpaw.

Forget about the Oregon Ducks, the Donkeys run the best read option in football. They even sprinkled in some triple option this week ala Georgia Tech. 

Is this really going to work in the NFL? Conventional wisdom says the speed will catch up. And you’d think with proper preparation a disciplined defense should be able to contain it.

But Miami, Oakland and Kansas City couldn’t. And the Raiders had a week to prepare. And the Chiefs couldn’t stop a third-string tailback.

The Donks just manhandled two straight division opponents on the road. With the AFC West looking uglier than the NFC West these days, Denver still has a lot of life left.

And as long as Timmy is walking on water, I’m giving them better than a one in a million chance.

That was the lead in my column last week. And I’m dead serious about the rule. I actually bet on Timmy and the Donks Thursday. Some people mocked my wager. Those same people talked me out of throwing a little something on the moneyline at +250. Why do I ever listen to anyone but myself?

I also played Jets team total under 23 on Thursday. If you missed my plays and don’t want to in the future, follow me on Twitter because I post them all there.

We move on to Week 11.

Jags PK - They might only need a field goal to win this one. Nothing about the doo doo Browns offense is dangerous. This guy knows what I’m talking about.
Patriots -14 (-120) - This reminds me a lot of the Packers game Monday night, which I cashed at -12.5. The Pats will be eager to put up points on a national stage. And Tyler “Falco” won’t be able to keep up.

Giants -5 - The G-Men at a field goal was an initial lean in my column, kicking myself for not grabbing it then. VY is going start and the spread has only moved a couple points? He said this week he was still learning the playbook. Vick and Maclin are worth much more than two points.

And that’s all folks. I’ll be adding plays in the comment section below. Good luck this week everyone.
