Betting Jinx #3 of the 2008 Football Season!

SD Chargers -8 @ Oakland Raiders Sunday September 28.

We all know Oakland is terrible, but lame duck coach Lane Kiffin does have some young talent that can keep a game close. The public was all over the Chargers Sunday, ranking as the most bet team by most Vegas sports books for the day.

Let set up the jinx....Oakland entered the 4th quarter with a 15-3 lead. The cover was looking great for those bettors who had the balls to drop some cash on this crew of under-achievers.

Oakland completely blows their lead but manages to tie the game up late at 18-18.
SD takes a 21-18 lead with a FG with just under 2 minutes to go. No big deal....Oakland will get the ball back and run the clock out with there possession or give the ball back to SD who will just take a kneel down. Then this happens:

The Raiders’ final comeback attempt was thwarted when Luis Castillo pressured Russell into an incompletion on fourth-and-5 from the Oakland 44 with 1:14 to go. Tomlinson finished it off from there with a 41-yard touchdown run. (Yahoo Sports)

First off, Russell is just terrible! What the hell is up with the Chargers not going into "victory formation" and taking a knee? Did they know the spread? It was ridiculous and painful for all idiot Raiders backers.

Here is a little more salt in the wound:

The Raiders could have had an even bigger halftime lead. But they settled for a field goal on the opening drive after moving the ball inside the 5 and had another touchdown called back on a holding penalty against Cornell Green. They settled for a field goal on that drive as well.

I hate you Lane Kiffin!!!!!

Betting Jinx #2 of the 2008 football season!

Michigan State @ Indiana this past Saturday. Michigan State came in as a 8.5 point favorite. Indiana has been awful in 2008, coming off a blowout loss to that MAC "Super Power" Ball State.

Alot of sharp bettors thought Indiana +8.5 points at home had a soild shot at the cover as MSU is a great team to bet against after playing Notre Dame.

The Jinx:

It was a wild, wacky game for the Old Brass Spittoon. There were two safeties, three replay reviews, a blocked punt, and Hoyer and Hoosiers quarterback Kellen Lewis each threw career-long touchdown passes.

But the strangest, and most important play, came late in the third quarter when Indiana’s backup quarterback, Ben Chappell, connected with Terrance Turner for a 97-yard touchdown pass that appeared to give Indiana the lead. Instead, right guard Cody Faulkner was called for holding in the end zone, giving Michigan State a safety and a 36-29 lead. (from Yahoo Sports)

Of course there was another quarter to play, but this game was Indiana's to win outright for sure! Covering the 8.5 points should have been an after thought.

Hoosier backers, we feel your pain!

Brett Myers is confident about the Phillies playoff chances....

He guaranteed they will not get swept by the Brewers.....boy, that makes me feel really confident about the Phillies moving past the Wild Card round of the National League Playoffs.

Quite possibly the best catch you will ever see!

Senior QB for Rutgers Mike Teel is getting frustrated after his team lost to Navy and moved to an awful 0-3 on the season.....Schiano better hope Paterno retires soon or he will never get that PSU gig.

NFL Week 3 Game Predictions.....who you got?

Kansas City @ Atlanta (-5.5). It's not going to be very often when you see Atlanta as a favorite this season. Although Tampa Bay handled the Falcons easily, the Bucs are a much better team than the Chiefs. The Falcons have a great running game, and I'll take QB Matt Ryan over QB Tyler Thigpen any day of the week. If Oakland can rush for 300 yards against KC, then the Falcons should roll in this game. Atlanta 27-13.

Oakland @ Buffalo (-9.5). Oakland may have had a great game, but no modern Al Davis team is going to be competitive. On the other hand, Buffalo has looked excellent, and has the run defense (and offense) that the Chiefs can only dream of. This could be a tougher game than the point spread indicates, but the home team should still win. Buffalo 30-20.

Tampa Bay @ Chicago (-3). When was the last time Chicago was favored in this match up? This will be an excellent test to see how good either the Bears or the Bucs really are. Brian Griese might have a little bit of revenge on his mind, but the Bears are a very solid team and all Kyle Orton needs to do is not make mistakes. My biggest concern here is Gruden's play calling, but I think Tampa is still a little bit better than Chicago right now, so the Bucs get the upset nod. Tampa Bay 20-17.

Houston @ Tennessee (-5). Neither team looks as good as most fans were expecting, but at least Tennessee is taking care of business. These are both tough defensive teams, and while Houston has more big time play makers, I think the home field advantage and better running game will give the Titans the edge in a hard fought game. Titans win, 19-13.


Carolina @ Minnesota (-3.5). This was a surprising line for me. Carolina is an exceptional looking team right now with two quality wins. Minnesota a lot more was expected out of and they've blew it twice against two quality opponents. Gus Frerotte is a much better player for this offense right now and makes the Vikings better. With that run defense vs. Steve Smith coming back this is a toss up as far as I'm concerned, but since it's at home I'll give the Vikings a nod. Minnesota 27-26.


Miami @ New England (-12.5). New England looks fine with QB Matt Cassel, and Joey Porter once again opens his big mouth…which traditionally means a three touchdown loss is going to follow. The Patriots are the much better team than the Dolphins, and it's going to show on Sunday. Patriots win 27-13.

DeSean Jackson is lucky the Eagles still scored after his jackass move!

Growing up in Philly I can tell you with 100% certainty, that if the Eagles did not score after this jerk off threw the ball backwards, he would be gone at the end of the season. Eagles fans do not let you live this shit down.

I have watched this guy get more cocky every week since the preseason. You can't change the spots on a dog. This guy will be an issue from here on in.

1st Official Betting Jinx of the 2008 Football Season!!

The situation: Iowa leading Iowa State 17-3 late in the 4th quarter. The spread for this game moved from Iowa -12.5 to 14 over the week. Most Iowa backers are looking at a nice win or at worst a push....Iowa has the ball with 2:53 to go, here is the offical drive log:

Iowa - 2:53
1st-10, Iowa4 2:53 J. Christensen rushed up the middle for 1 yard gain
2nd-9, Iowa5 2:24 J. Christensen rushed up the middle for 2 yard gain
3rd-7, Iowa7 1:24 J. Christensen rushed up the middle for 1 yard gain
4th-6, Iowa8 1:03 Iowa committed 4 yard penalty
4th-10, Iowa4 0:34 Player rushed to the right for 4 yard loss. Safety

Sorry Iowa backers...17-5 final score took money right out of your pocket!
