Worst Person To Wager Against

After cashing in last week on Colts -3.5 I have finally come to the conclusion that there is not a worse athlete in sports to bet money against than Peyton Manning.  Anytime you wager against the Colts whenever the Colts offense takes the field you literally cringe the moment you see him yelling out calls at the line.  His performance the other night was borderline sickening, as the Colts scored 1 out of every 7 plays.  The Colts possessed the ball for 15 minutes and he still threw for 300 yards and put 27 points up on the board.  He can pull a TD drive out of his backside on at any point.  Like anyone else he will have his 1 off game a year, but I now have reached the point where I will only bet for the Colts and if I don't like them in particular game, I will just stay away.  Peyton Manning is the world person to wager money against in sports, and Kobe Bryant being 2nd in my opinion.  Thoughts?

Week 3 Picks by Scho

I haven't posted picks with a write-ups since last year during the NFL playoffs.  I miss making picks and have people rip them apart, its a good for of constructive criticism.  So far this season I have been doing well, so hopefully this continues and I can share my wisdom with others.  Now for the Week 3 NFL Picks. 

San Fran -7
The 49ers have been my sweetheart team of this young season.  This has been the 3rd year in a row I have had them marked as a sleeper team.  The difference is this year they have the right man lighting the fire in Coach Mike Singeltary.  Frank Gore has shown signs of resurgence as a dominant back.  For the reputation of such a stout rush defense, the Vikings have not looked quite at dominant this season.  The Vikings are a highly hyped on team, and keep in mind have been trailing at halftime to both the Browns and Lions.  These teams both do there best to find ways to lose, but this 49ers team is not an easy out.  MLB Patrick Willis is one of the best in the business, and should be relentless in his pursuit of Adrian Peterson.  Until Brett Favre shows he is still capable of taking a game over, rather than manage it, I can't trust myself to back him against a team I believe to be legitimate.  I'll take the 49ers getting 7, and would not be surprised if they won outright.

Houston -3.5
This Jaguars team might be one of the worst teams in the NFL, and would not be surpri... [More]
