Since it appears our resident self-proclaimed sports-betting luminary has been ducking every request to post some PRE-GAME picks whenever and wherever he's been asked to over the years, I'm bringing that supposed reputation of his front & center so he can salvage whatever's left to his waning dignity right here and now. And just to jump start his negligent ass, I'm posting my 7 picks for Sunday so we can compare who da man really is. Now I don't profess to be a knowledgeable pro at this by any means. But he does....for over 40 years, and I don't believe any of what he claims, mainly because he continually denies having his "crew" trying to solicit money from me for their "rock solid locks" in the past.

I won't be posting again after 9am tomorrow, so whatever the results are, they are. I'm not betting my picks unless I can get to a casino prior to game time Sunday. But red needs to put copies of his picks/bets up here and in this thread. He's a pro, right? Surely, he and his "we" crew can place bets 24/7 and prove it.

So notwithstanding his buddy kew's toenail-biting over this, let's see this sports brute step up to the plate and make me eat my words once and for all! No posturing, no mealy-mouth weasel-words, no bs, and none of your famous corn whenever you get backed up against the wall. Just do it!

My picks:

Cle -3 over Cin
Minn -1 over Chi
ATL +1.5 over TB
NYG +4.5 over Phi
Indy -4.0 over Jax
Tenn -3.5 over Hou
Sea +3.5 over SF

(and I know I spelled challenge wrong, so just let it slide.)
