Always Be Covering: A Salute to Prop Bets
While last week’s individual game picks left a bit to be desired, the prop bets were quite successful. And hey, it worked once, so why not press our luck a bit? Continue after the jump for this week’s picks, a collection of the most enticing proposition wagers available to degenerate internet sports gamblers.
Total Sacks Of Aaron Rodgers Week 8 vs the Minnesota Vikings OVER 3.5
Let’s see, the Vikings average just over 3.5 sacks per game and the Packers have yielded a league-worst 4.1 on average. Book it, and hope that Chad Clifton is still gimpy.
Total Receiving Yards for Miles Austin Week 8 vs the Seattle Seahawks OVER 79.5 (-125)
Assuming of course that he’s not too busy leading an attack on the Shaolin Temple, in which case I’ll be very disappointed.
Which will be higher on Sunday November 1st 2009?
Donovan McNabb TD Passes vs the Giants (-130)
Ryan Howard Hits vs the Yankees EVEN
Sure, sounds good to me.
What will Alex Smith throw more of Week 8 of the 2009 NFL Regular Season?
TD Passes (+105)
Interceptions (-135)
In his first start since 2007 Smith goes up against a Colts defense that has surrendered exactly two passing touchdowns on the year. I don’t think we’ll be seeing a continuation of the Vernon Davis touchdownkkake this week. Of course he’ll probably throw one of each for a push, because he’s completely useless like that.
If Jake Delhomme starts Week 8 vs the Arizona Cardinals, what will happen first?
He will throw a TD Pass 3/2
He will throw an Interception 1/1
He will get pulled from the game for another QB 5/1
Large scale riots leaving the city of Charlotte in total ruin* 10/1
Even money on Jake Delhomme throwing an interception? God bless America…and Antigua (or wherever the fuck my money is going these days).
*Or was it “None of the above?” Eh, fuck it. Enjoy the games, and be sure to punch anybody dressed up like Jon and/or Kate this weekend.

//failing miserably

Grimey wins

I’m definitely going to have to find a spot for Miles Austin in next year’s NFL/D&D column, assuming I’m not bankrupt by then.
October 30th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
FLAWLESS VICTORY (better be for Miles, as picked him up in my fantasy league this week)

If you’ve ever had the joy of marking the #0 when 6 different asians are playing $25 in singles on BLACK AND RED. You’d have a more hands on understanding of how gay 1:1 is
October 30th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
I wonder how PK bets
October 30th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
Whatever, Grimey. I started that turn-of-the-century trucker hat and aviator sunglasses trend.

% chance: if you play a drinking game where you take a drink for every ass sucking compliment favre gets on sunday that you’ll be drunk= 100%
% chance: brett favre gets too hyped up and epically blows the game with a late game pick=100%
October 30th, 2009 at 2:58 pm
I also invented post-its.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Miles Austin, and his teeth, will be shut down on Sunday. If I’m wrong (doubtful), you may call me all kinds of terrible things at 4pm on Sunday.
GO SEAHAWKS!
October 30th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
It’s settled. I’m going home and playing some Mortal Kombat on Sega Genesis.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:37 pm

Farthammer – Ah yes, the gore code. That sure brings back memories. Unfortunately, I had to settle for the sweat-filled SNES version.

Damn, barracka got pretty ripped over the years

Cheerleader on the Far-Left: I commend you on your sacrifice and honorable commitment to physical hotness.

Did someone say something about Mortal Kombat? Raiden kicks Baraka’s ass.
October 31st, 2009 at 2:32 pm
Yeah, well I invented the question mark.

The Jake Delhomme props are really bizarre… Really, him getting benched should be like 50/1.
The prop is WHAT HAPPENS FIRST? Well I imagine a pick (the 1/1 bet) is necessary to get a guy kicked. Its kinda an impossible one. Unless he just fumbles like 3 times.
