If you’re like me, simply watching sports isn’t enough. Sure, I enjoy a good rivalry game or an exciting comeback as much as the next guy, but unless I have a little action on it, it’s not the same. So I enjoy placing a few bets every weekend to make things more interesting. You may say I have a problem; I say I have a solution. These bets are 100 PERCENT GUARANTEED TO MAKE US ALL RICH, and I am willing to share them with you to prove it. Last week was another winner, as I went 2-1, hitting both NFL picks. That brings me to 6-4 since I started, and this week I have four more locks for you. I’m putting my money where my mouth is. Feel free to join me.
CAN’T LOSE BET #1 (College Football)
North Carolina (+1) at Pittsburgh – North Carolina +1
There is one word you’ll be hearing over and over again after this game, and it will be referring to Pitt: LETDOWN. Coming off what seems like their biggest win in ten years (at home in prime-time over Notre Dame), the Panthers will go back to doing what they do best this week and lose in disappointing fashion. Well, it won’t be disappointing for you, because you are going to bet on the Tar Heels. North Carolina is hotter than that GIF of Kate Upton getting out of the pool the last three weeks anyway, especially in their passing game, so don’t even sweat it. NC wins this one easy.
CAN’T LOSE BET #2 (NFL)
Washington at Philadelphia – UNDER 53.5
It’s amazing how what a team has done lately can affect the over/under, but common trends in the history of the NFL are ignored — like games between division foes fighting for a playoff spot being lower scoring. Everyone is all horny for Nick Foles after two strong outings, but I expect him to have a rough time this week against a rested Redskins team fighting to stay alive in the division. Expect the offensive pace of this game to be slower than usual, and go balls deep on the under.
CAN’T LOSE BET #3 (NFL)
Cleveland at Cincinnati (-6) – Cincinnati -6
I have heard a bunch of NFL “experts” on TV talk about how the Bengals are a difficult team to figure out. Really? Let’s look at their record on the road versus at home. On the road: 2-4. At home: 4-0. So, umm, like almost all other decent teams before them, they play well at home but struggle to win on the road. Mystery solved. Cincy has had tough back-to-back road losses in overtime. They are still in the driver’s seat in their division and a little home cookin’ against the Jason Campbell-led Browns will be just what they need. Bengals win big.
CAN’T LOSE BET #4 (NFL)
San Francisco at New Orleans (-3) – New Orleans -3
The Saints are a powerhouse at home. It’s that simple. You would never bet against them at home, so why the hell would you not bet on them? Plus, the 49ers offense has been inconsistent all season, and I fully expect that long-haired, beer-bellied New Orleans defensive coordinator Rob Ryan to shut down Frank Gore and put the pressure on Colin Kaepernick, which he has shown he can’t handle just yet. Furthermore, San Fran’s D is good, but Drew Brees and Sean Payton are better. Saints win by a touchdown.
