Mike the Dealer's Football Picks
Any Given Sunday?
Poker players call it ‘variance’ it’s the luck
in the game, you get all in with an overpair vs an underpair
and you’re supposed to win, if you’re Joe Cada,
your underpair wins twice at the final table of the Main Event
of the World Series of Poker and two nights later
you win a coin flip and are World Champion.
This last week everyone ‘teased’ Green Bay, so
they only had to win by a little or just win at all, and then watched them
lose.
It’s ‘variance’ and it’s the bane of the gambler,
we want things to go according to form, not crazy upsets and random butt-kickings.
Now is the time of the year when we have to take
stock of teams, try to figure who’s really good and who’s really bad.
This is crunch time in the gambling season. Are
the Cowboys (Avert your eyes Bart) for real?
Are the Steelers back in the hunt to repeat?
Is Denver a fraud? All big questions the next couple of weeks will answer.
