NFL Best Bets: 2011, Week 10
We told you last week that we clearly didn’t know what we’re doing. Clearly we were even more right than we knew—Andy went 1-3, while I go 4-0. If you followed our advice and bet against us, I still managed to screw you.

The good news: Our record was perfect last week in betting. The bad news: That was a perfect 0-8. Seriously, if we were really betting on these games, we’d be in hiding right now—not from kneecap breaking bookies, but probably from our wives.
By now it’s likely that if you’re coming to us for information on who to pick in Vegas that you probably have lost your bankroll for the season. You really shouldn’t be relying on us. You should instead maybe seek advice from this guy or this guy. Or maybe this guy.
But you’re here. And we’ve made weekly habit of making asses out of ourselves, so here we go again with our picks of the week.
I’ve been avoiding picking my bets for the week, in part because the lines have looked so unappealing to me. But, as any good(?) gambler should, I’ll throw something out there.
Andy and I both went 2-2 last week, which isn’t so surprising I guess, when we both had the same upset of the week. Unfortunately, 2-2 was still pretty much the highlight of our football week’s–we didn’t quite lose all of our fantasy football match-ups, but most of the bigger ones. This week, in addition to our betting picks, we’ve got some pride on the line as well, as we go head-to-head in the one fantasy league that we both have teams in.
Andy’s 2-1-1 record betting in Week 6 was the highlight of the week for us, apart from my making it another week in my work survivor picks, and his +220 on the money line for San Francisco looked particularly good. My 1-3 in the picks was..well, pretty much normal for me as of late. Pay attention to that when you evaluate my picks…
It’s a good thing we have this website to earn a living, and aren’t relying on profits from our gambling on NFL games—we both struggled to another 1-3 week, with Andy hitting San Diego (-4), and myself hitting my super weak upset Cincinnati on the money line.
Week 6 best bets (to go the other way on):
By my count, Andy dropped another 1-3 week last week, and would probably have his bookie getting ready to break some legs about now, while I managed a respectable 3-1, missing only on my upset of the week (which, had I taken the points, I would have hit as well).
