Pick — Notre Dame vs. Ohio State

This is the hardest week of pro football to predict, so I’m doing what I should’ve done more often in my rookie year of picking games online — taking a pass on the weekend. After going 2-1 last week, I finished 2005 with a record of 22-18-2.

Determined to kick-off the new year on a high note, I’m picking just one game this week. I’m taking Notre Dame to win against Ohio State, and, if I actually bet, would take the money line of +165. I may add BCS picks Tuesday.

Happy New Year!

Kickoff ‘23

The Linc will be rockin' again this season. (Photo credit: Pat Quinn) It’s the most wonderful time of the year 🎶 . . . for sports fans. Football is back, there’s nothing better than meaningful fall baseball, and basketball isn’t far off. The sports writer in me always wants to come out and play when the weather turns a little cooler (the weather people say it’s happening this weekend). So, I’m dusting off my Blogger account and seeing if I can get the motor running on Rob Q. Ink – A Philly Sports Blog. The NFL kicks off their season tonight with the Detroit Lions facing the reigning Super Bowl Champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. If you’re wondering how the hell the Lions got part of this marquee matchup, I’m right there with ya. But it’s the only national Thursday night game fans are able to watch without paying for a streaming service, so shut up and enjoy it (said the NFL 😊😉🏈). (The guide on our cable service has next week ’ s Eagles game airing on FOX 29. I do not believe

Birds Trade for O-lineman; Week-in-Review

The Eagles have traded for left tackle Jason Peters, giving up the 28th selection and a fourth-rounder in the draft plus an undisclosed pick in 2010 according to ESPN.com. This is classic Birds, and doesn’t excite me a little bit. Yes, it’s the prudent move, but it just doesn’t get it done. I’ve already heard this takes the Eagles out of the running for Anquan Boldin, who the Arizona Cardinals have announced is available for trade. The Eagles are like the stodgy parents that never give the kids what they want. No, you can’t have the shiny toy, we’re going to put the money towards college. Problem is, it just doesn’t work in the NFL . . . and the Eagles’ Super Bowl trophies total proves it. This team needs to go get a stud receiver, and, once again, they’re not going to do it. It’s just their typical we-know-better-than-everybody-else mentality at work. It really does seem like they go out of their way not to make the popular move. This move isn’t even an upgrade. They simply replaced

NFL Week 4, College Picks 🏈 Peeking at the Phillies World Series Odds ⚾

A 4-1-1 record for $26.70 with picks last week was a nice bounce back on the blog. Nice, not great, considering the total. But I had to go with what I felt. I just didn’t love any of the games last week. It’s a good example of why gambling on sports is all about the money total. 💰 I guarantee there’s plenty of guys selling picks online who would be crowing about a 4-1-1 record, but it doesn’t mean squat if they didn’t put an amount on each wager. If the one loss is a big bet and the four wins are for minimum amounts, it could be nothing but a losing week. By the way, I have zero intentions of ever selling picks. I don’t understand why anyone would ever buy anyone else’s pick. 🤔 It’s stupid. The point spread makes these games a toss-up. Do you really think some guy yelling into his iPhone camera knows more about a game than the people setting the line? There’s just no reason to buy a pick. My whole thought in putting picks on the blog is to have some fun with readers. I’m a guy
