My Bucks love has been quite odd lately. There I fixed it. And your numbers too.

Special Bets With this light card this week of four NFL games, I offer the first Super Bowl futures and a few special bets. These must be bet before the first game kicks off on Saturday.
Super Bowl Futures AFC Super Bowl Team -3.5 -115 NFC Super Bowl Team +2.5 -105
Money Line (Win Outright) AFC Super Bowl Team -135 NFC Super Bowl Team +115
Super Bowl Over/Under 49.5; -110
Conference Playoffs Special Bets These are my own special bets I came up with. They involve guys from different games, so a little homework might be required. You won't find these bets anywhere else, so maybe you will find a weak link to exploit, since I'm just a part time linesmaker. If so, good luck!
Most Rushing Yards In This Week's Games Leveon Bell (PIT) -125 vs. Ezekiel Elliott (DAL) +105 Lamar Miller (HOU -140 vs. Davonta Freeman (ATL) +120 Spencer Ware (KC) -120 vs. Thomas Rawls (SEA) +100
Most Passing Yards In This Week's Games Aaron Rodgers (GB) -135 vs. Matt Ryan (ATL) +115 Aaron Rodgers (GB) -135 vs. Tom Brady (ND) +115 Matt Ryan (ATL) -110 vs. Tom Brady (NE) -110
Most Receiving Yards In This Week's Games Antonio Brown (Pitt) -150 vs. Dez Bryant (DAL) +130 Antonio Brown (Pitt) -150 vs. Julio Jones (ATL) +130 Julio Jones (ATL) -110 vs. Dez Bryant (DAL) -110

"KS" IS SHORT FOR KICK ASS; The Good Ol One Re-Takes The Overall Lead
Good Ol KS went 3-0 on max bets, won $1385 last week and retakes the overall lead in the contest. Chus had a solid week and climbed into 2nd. Woodridge Ryan went light this week and fell behind the two 400 club members. ( KS and Chus have made 400 picks in this contest). Ryan did hit the 75 pick minimum to qualify to win the contest. It is a close three-horse race as KS, Chus and Ryan are all now within $150 of each other. Hawg won a little this week, but fell behind and is now $1700 behind the top three. The three leaders all have pending bets on the AFC,NFC and Super Bowl, which will make things doubly interesting in key games.
We're down to the last four weeks of the contest, NFL division playoffs, NFL conference championships, Pro Bowl and then Super Bowl. Good luck guys!

I don't know. Maybe it shouldn't count! (Unfortunately it was Detroit) On a busy Saturday where there might have been a bunch of teams getting 9.5, I might not have counted it. But on this weekend, where only one team was getting 9.5, I knew what you meant. Unfortunately, it counts.

The pro bowl is the only game the week before the Super Bowl. Considering it is the 2nd to last week of the contest, the boys need action. I will put together some props just for you.

Gotta respect Dale. Now everyone who is anyone is canning. In fact the hopslam I was hoping to run into tonight is apparently canned this year. Why do you think that is? Cheaper than glass? Hipster marketing that aluminum is more "responsible" than glass? Does their market research show that people perceiving aluminum having "taste" impact on beer has died away, considering that has not been a real/fact-based issue in over 30 years?

$50 Clemson/Alabama over 51 -110 BM This line has puzzled me all week. I make the number higher and wonder what is so different with these teams that it won't be a shootout like the 45-40 game last year? But then, with my record on college football totals this year, that probably means go the other way.

WOODRIDGE RYAN MAX BETS HIS WAY TO HIS FIFTH WEEKLY WIN AND TAKES BACK THE LEAD
Woodridge Ryan rode winning max bets on Green Bay and Penn State to win week 17. There were nine max bets this week, with the board going 5-4 on them. KS had the overall lead for one week, but he had a losing week, so Ryan retook the overall lead and Chus climbed back into second place. Ryan leads Chus by $550, with KS in third trailing Chus by $730 and Hawg Ass in fourth trailing KS by $530. Kesha12 and denisdman need several winning big plays to get back into the race.
These are the six guys left for the last month of the contest as Kirkwood and I lost our bankroll this week. Kirkwood at least went out in a blaze of glory, going 0-5 on his plays and having the largest one week deficit (-1790) in the history of the contest. This came just one week after Hawg set a new record for best winning week (+1800).
This week, we have NFL playoffs and the Natl. Champ. game. Then three more weeks of NFL playoffs/Super Bowl. The winner of the overall contest will win $200 and the runnerup will get $100.
For the guys who won a weekly prize of $25, but are now out of the contest send me your name and address via pm and I'll get your winnings out to you (Kirkwood $50 and Piglet $25). The rest of you who remain in the contest, you will get your winnings when the contest is over after the Super Bowl.
Good luck all!

GOING ALL IN!!!!!!! CHOKING DOWN CHALK!!!!!! Kirkwood, Sorry but you did not have enough $$ to make these bets. So in conformance with the rules, your last bet (Stanford) was reduced to $286.10, which brings your balance to zero. Otherwise, you owe the book $214.
As it turns out, they all lost, so you're busted either way. welcome to the club.

WEEK 16 -- KS RISES TO THE TOP
It was a light week for most of the board in week 16 as we celebrated Christmas and saved our pennies for this coming big week of bowl action and the final week of the NFL regular season. But KS didn't take it lightly, racking up a winning week of $579.50 and taking over first place in the contest, surpassing Chus who had a losing week, and Ryan, who took the week off.
Ok the final weekly prize week is upon us. The contest continues through the Super Bowl, but no weekly wins after this. A lot of great bowl games ahead. Good luck all.

WEEK 15 UPDATE - HAWG RULES Congrats to Hawg on the best week of the season in Week 15 (week ended Dec. 19), winning $1800 on his 6-0 week and winning his fourth week of the year. He jumped up into 3rd overall, passing KS and putting himself just a slab of bacon or two of the leader, Chus, who held on to the lead for the second week.

Why not just shack up with KS in Racine? It's generally cheaper to fly in via Milwauke donchaknow Kirkwood, one of the things you will learn early on in married life is that when your wife really really wants something, no matter how expensive, it's cheaper in the long run to just go with it. I figure the $$$ a condo will cost me is a solid investment in domestic tranquility. Flying in to Milwaukee direct from Austin is not an option. And by the time you add a rental car, parking, whatever, the advantage is gone. She flies into Chi direct, Uber everywhere...she gets to her office (soon to be condo/office) by 9 am.

Christmas in Chicago. It's like I never left. Drinky, a Hawks game, hang with the kids and generally do nothing. My wife wants to buy a condo here for her 6-10 trips here a year, so we will look at a few properties too.

Coasters in the Consolation final. Who woulda thunk? Maybe I can meet with drop in this week and get him so drunk he messes up his lineup. It's probably my only shot at a W.

Monday Night Update: A quick read of the picks tells me Hawg is 6-0, +1,800 for the week. The rest of you have work to do to catch him. Good luck.

We interrupt your winter with a sunny 75 degree greeting, perfect for a round of golf this morning.
But Tonight the temp is supposed to go down to the 30s, then maybe 25 by Monday. But for this glorious day, the weather doesn't suck.

WEEK 14 RESULTS & STANDINGS
Congratulations to Hawg Ass, who won week 14, his second week in a row and third weekly win of the season. Congrats also to Chus, who had another strong week and now has the lead in the overall contest, passing Ryan who had the lead for most of the year. Good ol KS remains in third and Hawg Ass is in fourth, but moving on up.
Only three weeks left in the weekly prizes (the overall contest runs through the Super Bowl).
We bid adieu to Terry's Peeps this week, who threw his entire remaining bankroll on the Lions (against da Bears). He's not the first one to bet a bundle on Detroit...and regret it. The Bowls are upon us. So bet one, or light one...whichever your pleasure.
So Chus has $4658? $4498.

This is the night I get back in the game or lose it all. Laying 15 in the NFL is not an advisable strategy very often. One time. Shoving all the chips in.
Seattle -15 -105 Pinny $350.25
