It was another losing week for the guys as they went 2-3 in the Super Contest. Jeff talks about the resolve bettors have to have to keep betting a team that destroys you one week. Changing the channel might change the result as the Vikings somehow lost a ten point lead in two minutes versus the Bears. The Lions keep running over underdog bettors, while the Cowboys found a way to beat not so clever Kliff Kingsbury. Finally, not even the cast of the Jersey Shore could get Tommy Cutlets into the cover column.…

He goes in depth about how look-ahead lines can reveal where the bookmakers are most desperate to give valuable numbers in order to draw two-way action. From there you need a strong stomach, because the the picks are all ugly. Sometimes the best bets are the hardest ones to make. Mike adds some great trends that back a lot of the picks for this week's card.…

Mike is back live and in person as the guys go through the week 11 slate of NFL point spreads. Lot's of contenders to choose from for ugly betty, but it's time for mayonnaise. The guys call dibs on fading the Bears for share-of-square. All three AFC North games are in contention, but one is Jeff's ultimate decision. Mike has a mile-high false finish and a prime-time fade in South Beach to close out the card for this week's Super Contest entry.…

Jeff goes on a bit of a diatribe about the Colts vs. Bills game. The guys went 3-2 in the Super Contest. Mike's math on the Bucs proofed true while his square share of the Bears was proven false. Mike had two sure fire winners... well losers, but they covered the spread so they are winners in our book. Bengals and Broncos... welcome to the LBC ( Lose But Cover) !…

Jeff and Mike had a losing week in the Super Contest going 2-3. Jeff tries to sell that they lost the Denver game the way he thought they would lose. Ugly Betty isn't as bad as the Cowboys, while square for the Commanders works like a charm. The Hawks cash for Jeff, but lose in the contest.
