0 for 3. Washington scored 7, the Lions reminded us they’re the Lions and Kirk is still wondering if I liked that. We’re at an all time low right now but the Bick’s Picks legacy is more than bricks and mortar. We’re about arbitrary biases and picking with our plums. After all, why do we fall Bruce? So that we can learn to chase our losses.
Life’s Too Short to Bet the Under
Eagles @ Commanders (43.5)
I know what you’re saying. Really again? Yes again. Washington is in shambles, trade talks flying and Ron Rivera is on the hottest seat in the NFL. Some men just want to watch the world burn and I’m one of them. I could very easily see Washington hosting a track meet for Philly which could finally send Ron packing. Eagles feasted on this secondary earlier in the season and I have no reason to think that won’t happen again. I certainly don’t expect another OT shootout but Washington does tend to play to their competition so their offense should score more than they did in the Jersey swamp. Eagles score early and often resulting in an easy over and hopefully the first head coach firing of 2023.
Fade Dawgs
Jaguars @ Steelers(+2)
Alright so the re-brand didn’t work but that’s okay I’m used to multiple re-brands so why not mix it up again. I have yet to pick a dog correctly so why not be honest and lean into it. They say you always fear what you don’t understand which is probably why I’ve probably avoided picking the 4-2 Steelers. The Steelers are adept at winning ugly one score games that leave you wondering hey I thought they lost that game in the 2nd quarter. They’ve also won 4 straight as underdogs so why not 5? The Jags are also playing their 4th game in 19 days and are due for a let down as they have one eye looking ahead to their bye week. You either die picking underdogs or live long enough to trust Kenny Pickett.
Bick’s Stone Cold Lock of the Century of the Week
Chiefs(-7) @ Broncos
The night is always darkest before the dawn but I promise you that dawn is coming. No way the lock is losing 3 in a row. Sometimes when you’re losing things have a tendency to get so serious and overthink things. I mean c’mon if Mahomes vs the Broncos doesn’t hit then I don’t know what to do. The Chiefs have 16 straight wins vs the Broncos which is the longest active streak vs one opponent. Also there’s potential snow in the forecast so I’m trusting self proclaimed “snow game guy” Mahomes to get it done. I will admit -7 is a little gross but you can move it to -6.5(-128) on DraftKings. I feel like I kept it simple and we got some wins coming our way. Who knows, maybe if we start pretending to have fun, we might even have a little by accident.
