Special Friday Edition, January 3rd
"Tim
Do your thing
Happy New Year to all the mad, mad world out there. Let's try and make it a good one, shall we?
This is the time of year when football is arguably at its most exciting, while Tim's level of seriousness towards the picks is perhaps at its lowest point. Why? Well I suppose it's because at this time of year I can't help but be a fan rather than a bettor, and I start rooting for teams based more on who I want to see win rather than who I've plunked down some cash on (for some reason, it's hard to do both at the same time).
Good thing then that I ended on a high note with the old Tim Champion picks, and for you newcomers to this space, let's do a season end recap of the fabulous Tim shenanigans in 2002:
Of course, that's just the basic service. "Hundred Star Platinum Best Best Best picks" Tim Club members were 146-1 (99.3%) and won over twelve gazillion units. A typical $11 unit player won over $350 Billion and now owns most of Rhode Island. Sorry you didn't join up now, smarty-pants, aren't you! Ah well, maybe next year you'll wise up and become part of the Legion of Tim.
In all fairness to myself, my record was held back in that during my titanic struggle with the O/D Ranks computer I was limiting myself to a similar number of picks, and consequently only one or two plays in several weeks where I actually had more. Plus who bets games in the first two weeks anyway?
On other matters of limited importance:
All right, enough of that rubbish. Let's talk about how I want the playoffs to play out:
Preferred winner: Tampa Bay (for the sanity of the TMW boss)
Now let's get down to business. First up is my old friend the O/D Machine:
ANALYSIS:
The O/D Ranks plays are the ones with a seven or more difference between the O/D Line and the actual line, so you're looking at the Colts and Steelers.
