Hmmm.
Derok, you should probably be betting real money on games. And it's obvious that Bonk and I should never bet real money on football games.

Of course I did "lose" over $5,000 during my regular season picks, so I still haven't broken even.
I think it's a lot easier to pick in the playoffs simply because you know that both teams are going to be giving it their all. In the regular season, teams won't show up for whatever reason. You're always left trying to figure out who's motivated, especially towards the end, which is next to impossible.

Very good point. I think I'm sucking so bad because I'm not investing near as much thought as I would if I were betting real money. Still, that doesn't take away from you doing so well!

Tell me about it. I take solace in the fact that I am not doing the regular research that I would typically do if I were betting real cash though. Oh well, we still eat hard.

How about this to help motivate you for the Super Bowl pick:
Send me $20 as a "bet" on the game. If you finish the week with positive points, I'll send your $20 back to you. If not, I keep it. Deal?

Really? How'd you do? I'd be scared to take bets on one game because you're likely to see a lot of play one direction and it might not end well.
How'd you do last year?
