Default Beat "The Prick" Contest Week 7 Sponsored by CRIS.....ENTER HERE

A message from "The Prick"

"Hello fellow losers I am The Prick. I have been picking games on different radio shows and publications for years.

The way this works is I'm going to kick your ass every week because I pick winners. If you ever get lucky and beat me then the good ole mafia guys at BetCRIS will slip you a C note. I think they picked me because they know they won’t have to fork over much cash.

Pick college or NFL games I don't really care but don’t be an ass and throw in a total because only straight up side bets count.

I will pick 3 games and designate one pick as my "best pick". Then you pick 3 and also designate one selection as your best pick.

BetCRIS has some other rules to throw up so check back and read the fine print.

My picks will go up every Tuesday. You can post your losers on Wednesday.

Good Luck (you'll need it)

Love,

The Prick

Now THAT's what I call a welcome: everybody stands, drumrolls, free picks......I love this place! I can understand why everyone's being so gracious, since I've been paying their rent around here for about three weeks or so. At least to score the free dough from CRIS last week you sharps had to get 2 right......CRIS still split my pay up among 20 of you scrounges instead of handing me a fat envelope, but no more of my body parts got turned into jewelry. I watched that entire 'Bama game last weekend, and knew my lock was blown when the only kid in the entire state who can catch a football got hurt early. I haven't seen balls bouncing off of guys chests, hands, and chins that much since they closed the local YMCA 'cuz it was filled with degenerates. As always, you vultures ain't here to lend me any sympathy, you all want the free cheese, so down to business.
Miss -10.5 This team is much tougher than they appear to be at first glance. Offensively, they moved well against a stout Tide defense last week. Defensively, at home they are good enough to keep Kentucky's sorry offense out of the endzone..The days of Kentucky losing tight games and covering most of the time are long gone and they are now absolutely putrid. Ole Miss takes momentum into this one after a tough loss and crushes the 'Cats by at least two TDs.
Pitt -12.5 The slip of paper in my stale-ass fortune cookie from lunch today said my lucky # was -12.5. I figured that was a sign from above, not that i'm superstitious or anything......Pitt are much better at home than on the road, and Syracuse absolutely SUCKS. Revenge is enough of a factor to make up for lousy coach Waaaaanstedt, and hey, the Chinese God of Bad Gamblers has spoken. Pitt slaps Syracuse around by at least 21, which is enough to cover and get me paid.
Texas -15.5 The 'Horns are strong enough to beat the curse of da Prick, since they were the only game i got right a few weeks back. This is the last pothole on their road to the Big12 championship, and they have no chance of looking past this game. Tech's had a fine season, and will play in a decent bowl, but Hodges doesn't top 200 yards through the air as Texas controls the clock on offense and gets off the field on defense. When i ran this game on auto play on my EA Sports NCAA football 2005, the 'Horns rolled in a 28 point rout. That, punters, makes this my BEST BET. And there you have it ladies, anybody want to place an over/under on the number of sharps who get paid this week? I'm on the under blind for my CRIS paycheck....

I've noticed the Prick is almost exclusively on chalk every week, a losing proposition most of the time.

Sorry. ladies, happy hour started a little early today......da Prick read the rules, and while you squares don't get to touch anything but Sat and Sunday action, I got no restrictions.....BUT, since CRIS has been so tight-fisted, paying only 2-3 guys a week, i figured I'd listen to the whines and changed my lock. Hope everybody's feeling better now

Take any games you want because, from what I've seen, you need all the help you can get!

What a surprise! You took another favorite...

Thanks Senator, i appreciate your leniency in the rules administration!!! Do the favorites pay less when you get them right? You intend to enter at some point, of course, with all dogs? CRIS'll be glad to pay you yet again, i'm sure.......
