NFL Week 3 and College Picks 🏈

money
Dad always said, “Don’t bet with your heart.” ❤️ Sage advice that just didn’t pay off for me last week.

I had a tough 2-4 run for -$38.15 last week. I capped the week going against the Steelers, who I root for, and watched them bookend a win over Cleveland with defensive touchdowns. Nick Chubbs going down for the Browns didn’t help things.

So, I thought I’d ask my beloved readers a “poll” question. And since we’re in Philly, I’ll couch it in terms of the Birds.

 

If you have the Eagles as a lock to LOSE against the spread, would you bet against them?

 

Get in the comments and give me your thoughts. 🤔 Signing up for Disqus is easy. I’m just looking to have some fun with the blog . . . and that means hearing from you! 💬 Throw some picks out while you’re there, including props. Again, have fun in the comments – no spam, no BS, and don’t rip others. That’s my job!

I already heard from one reader with his picks:

Oregon State – money line

Ole Miss +7.5

Duke -22.5

I’m looking at Duke as well. My picks will be in the comments later.

By the way, if you want an informal e-mail from me when I post on the “Ink,” let me know here.

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 ⚾

Image
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
