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!

Rutgers is 0-3 after their loss to Navy....you deserve a smack to the face!

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.
