The Sports Guy: Revisited

So i wrote a post while i was drunk the other night ripping the Sports Guy and his NFL picks this week. I honestly haven't looked at how i did against him, so let's take a look...

Titans +1 over Bengals (W). (Bengals -1 Tenn) (L)

Vikings +2 over Colts (L) (Colts -2 Vikings) (W)

Bears +3 over Panthers (Push) (Panthers -3 Bears) (Push)

Falcons +7 over Bucs (L) (Bucs -7 Panthers) (W)

Saints pick 'em Redskins (L) (I pick Saints as well) (L)

Bills +5 over Jags (W) (Jags -5 Bills) (L)

Packers -3 over Lions (W) (I agree) (W)

Giants -8.5 over Rams (W) (I agree) (W)

49ers +7 over Seahawks (W) (Seahawks -7 49ers) (L)

Dolphins +6.5 over Cards (L) (Cards -6.5 Seahawks) (W)

Jets -1 over Patriots (L) (Pats +1 NYJ) (W)

Ravens +4.5 over Texans (I agree) (No Game)

Chiefs -3.5 over (L) Raiders (I agree) (L)

Broncos +1.5 over Chargers (W) (Chargers -1.5 Broncos) (L)

Steelers -6 over Browns (L) (I agree) (L)

Eagles +7 over Cowboys (I agree)

Let's break it down! We agreed on 7 games. One was postponed (Baltimore-Houston), and one is still tonight. For the 5 games played, we went 2-3.

That leaves 9 games we disagreed on. Amazingly we both managed to go 4-4-1. So even though we differed on 9 different picks, we both finished the week 6-7-1. With one game to go tonight, we both picked the same (Philly +7), so we're gonna finish the week with the same record. Take into account that the best we could finish is 7-7-1, and it goes to show that neither of us knows shit...

The Sports Guy

Look, i'll admit it: I used to love ESPN's Sports Guy, Bill Simmons. When i was in college i ate his shit up. Then the Patriots got good, then the Red Sox got good, then the Celtics got good, and he became practically insufferable. To the point where i can barely read him. 

This week's NFL Picks column is the coup de tat, where pretty much everything he says i want to fucking punch him in the face for. Not to mention his picks suck fucking ass. Fuck he pissed me off. Fuck!

Below is his picks, followed by own, better picks. Trust me, i'll let you know how this shakes out. Simmon's picks first, mine in parentheses.

(And these are not my picks, I'll throw those up later.)

Titans +1 over Bengals. (Bengals -1 Tenn)

Vikings +2 over Colts (Colts -2 Vikings)

Bears +3 over Panthers (Panthers -3 Bears)

Falcons +7 over Bucs (Bucs -7 Panthers)

Saints pick 'em Redskins (I pick Saints as well)

Bills +5 over Jags (Jags -5 Bills)

Packers -3 over Lions (I agree)

Giants -8.5 over Rams (I agree)

49ers +7 over Seahawks (Seahawks -7 49ers)

Dolphins +6.5 over Cards (Cards -6.5 Seahawks)

Jets -1 over Patriots (Pats +1 NYJ)

Ravens +4.5 over Texans (I agree)

Chiefs -3.2 over Raiders (I agree)

Broncos +1.5 over Chargers (Chargers -1.5 Broncos)

Steelers -6 over Browns (I agree)

Eagles +7 over Cowboys (I agree)

Ok, so i disagreed with 9 of Simmon's picks. Let's see how the week turns out...
