Always Be Covering: Risky Dogs
01.08.11
Last Week: 8-8
Regular Season: 130-118-7
Well that’s a hell of a lot better than I thought I’d do. I picked almost every game this season, and had I actually bet on all of them I might have made a few bucks. I should probably have my own gambling hotline.
Continue after the jump for today’s picks.
Seattle +10.5 vs. New Orleans
Earlier in the week this felt like a sneaky good pick. Now I feel like I was being a moron, but I’ll stick with it regardless. No team has ever been a double digit favorite in a road game during the wild card round. Clearly this is a special circumstance. Seattle will probably get throttled, but I’m holding out hope that the Saints will be stifled without their top two runners. Drew Brees has turned the ball over at a high rate all season. Hopefully I can get a backdoor cover out of a late pick-six.
New York Jets +2.5 at Indianapolis
Well I’m certainly not going to bet on the Colts today. I really don’t have any idea what to expect out of the Jets today. Hopefully they’ll be able to get some hits on Fetushead and run the ball effectively. And God willing, Nacho won’t f*ck things up too badly.
So yeah, a couple of risky picks that could pay off nicely if you’re in a playoff pool. I’m not sure I’d recommend them as straight-up wagers, but if you must choose, I’d go with the Jets. Hey, remember when you could just bet against the Panthers every week? Those were good times.
I’ll be back in the morning with tomorrow’s picks.


First!
How about a teaser with Seattle +16.5 and Jets +8.5? That feels fairly safe, no?
I’m not a big fan of two-team teasers.
I’m just trying to figure out how they managed to keep the fork in that dogs mouth. That’s some good hustle.
I like the NYJ pick, the only thing I dont like about the Seattle pick is that they have lost by 15+ in all losses this season so I’m not sure they can beat the spread.
Mitigating factors, however, are the 12th man (slighly overrated but whatever), possible “winter conditions”, and NO having never won a road playoff game. Still, I’m not sure I can argue against the Saints and DARREN SHAWPAAAAH!!!!

@ SnitchesWearBritches. Peanut butter trick.
I think Risky Dog has just discovered he’s been adopted by Mike Vick.
@UM – Yeah, the Seahawks scare me. Like you said, it could be close or they could get blown out.
This is where Mike Vick went wrong: allow the dog the opportunity to electrocute itself first.
I love the fact that the Seahawks don’t merit a Hater’s Guide on this here site.
@Ewok:
They’re just saving the Seahawks for the divisional round. Cause the Seahawks are going to win today.
THE SEAHAWKS ARE GOING TO WIN TODAY.
/starts drinking early so I can pass out before the end of the game and stay in my fantasy world one more day
Risky dog also loves to chase honey badgers and drink Absinthe..
