Have the Secret to Betting Packer Games
thru the football season 4 beat writers for the Packers predict the game score in the sunday morning paper. I did not follow it very close at first but noticed that in the weeks I saw them that the majority of the guys were wrong if you went by the score they predicted vs. the spread. The first 8 weeks or so I probably noticed what they picked in maybe 5 of the games and they were wrong every time. This is based on at least 3 of 4 predicting one way. On Thanksgiving I was not going to bet the game, but that morning just happened to see their predictions and all 4 had the Lions covering, so I figured why not try the packers. Since then have noticed what they picked each week and they have been wrong each week. The only time I bet based on their picks was thanksgiving. Last week I played the Pack a little and was horrified to see that for the first time probably all year every one of them picked the Pack in a blowout. If I had been sharper I probably should have tried the chiefs for a little on the moneyline, but did not. I am always amazed how bad most writers are when they pick games. First of all they should be able to pick 50% by flipping a coin, and you would think with all the access they have, they would have a little insight into what is going on, after all isn't that what we think we would want, the "inside scoop" to the teams? In todays paper I realized how downright stupid one of them is. He was talking about how important Jennings is to the team, and that if he could not return the Pack would probably be home underdogs in the NFC championship game ! He was not talking about his opinion, but what he thought the spread might be. How out of touch can you be if you anything about betting. Anyway just for fun I am going to try and remember to post their predictions on sunday morning here.
