Welp, 44% for the season, not very good! If the season ended today, I’d definitely have Redskins era Steve Spurrier deliver the post mortem. Check the link below for his press conference from what would end up being his last media appearance with the Redskins. Comedy gold.

The good news is week 2 was better than week 1. However, I’d set the bar pretty low with my miserable week 1. My college sides have heated up and it’s just a matter of time before the NFL does as well. If you took Texas -14.5 and not -14, you were victim to a pretty brutal bad beat. I ended up with -14 in my pools, but I posted -14.5, so it’s only fair to count it as a loser. Texas was up 42-14 with 7 minutes remaining and let Rice in the backdoor. That’s the kind of beat that gets an Athletic Director fired.
So I’ve been posting picks on NFL and College Football games on the Fake Sports Bar Facebook page all season, and have had some success (58-41-4, for a success rate of just under 59%) coming out on the right side of sides and totals. A few of the readers of this site have asked if I there is any rhyme or reason to the picks I make, so I decided to audit my picks and see if there were any trends of note. I also thought it might be helpful to pass along a few tips that can apply to NFL/Survivor Pools, office pools or a long weekend in Vegas or (if you’re lucky) Delaware, where you can bet parlays in many bars on the NFL games. If Chris Christie gets his way, sports gambling will come to New Jersey next, and if national trends continue many more states will adopt it as well so that they can tax it like marijuana and casinos.
