Wild Card Playoff Preview and Picks

First of all, thanks to the referee/Shane Graham combo below in Wk 4 that hit a FG in OT versus the Browns that was the key Miracle Cover in my Browns Under 5.5 bet (Season review here).  oddly, I really liked the way Mangini and Co. played and the end of the year and profited [...]

NFL Playoff Line Pick’em Challenge

I suggested over a few beers at the Castle a NFL Playoff Pick’em Challenge here at Miracle Covers.
Basically for 10 bucks, you pick ALL of the games’ lines and compete against the other players for the best overall record thru the Super Bowl  (11 games, total) for the pot.  There is also a side bet [...]

Week 17

How is this Meachem TD not counted in Yahoo FFBL Leagues?
This is why we gamble on Fresno State @ Illnois games.
“Pat Patriot” got caught in a prostitution ring. Looks like he’ll be pulled out this Sunday versus the Panthers.
Video that pretty much sums up [...]

Week 13 NFL Ramble Drill

Some thoughts on last week:
When this happens in a game, I think that means it’s time for Bobby Bowden to retire.  The play is almost Longest Yard-esque, I wonder if the QB banged his girl or didn’t pay for that lineman’s dinner the night before.
Who would of thought the Miracle of the Year would have [...]
