Default Beat "The Prick" Contest Week 16 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

Well, boys, this thing is finally winding down, and not soon enough for da Prick. Got two more shots at a little CRIS bread to get me through a long dry spell 'til football comes back, or at least until these knuckleheads at SBR braniac up another contest. Gotta say i kinda hoped to line my pockets a little fatter with CRIS cash, but i guess i shoulda turned out a few stronger picks.....still, for the amount of effort i put in, i can't bitch about the return. This gig is still hosted by SBR, still honcho-ed by Illusion, and CRIS still splits my paycheck up between all you stiffs who beat me. On to the Prick's Picks:
Nevada -2.5 BEST BET Damn, it's nice to have a college game back on the board. Anybody who thinks the NFL ain't rigged has a rotten punkin sittin' on their shoulders. I shat myself so hard watching the NFL give the Pack a game at home against the Lions two weeks ago that my ears are still ringin'. Give da Prick the NCAA anyday when it comes to picking games. Nevada covers, da Prick is on the board, and I collect in time to hit Walmart to do some last minute shopping.
Pittsburgh -7 Man, i still ain't picked a game the Steelers were playing in right this year.....but this one looks to good to be true. They ain't going anywhere, but they cover this nut without too much hair-pullin'. What kinda prognosticator could call a team wrong all season long? Law of averages trumps "the Curse of da Prick", and i'm sitting at 2-0 for the week.
Chicago -6.5 Looks like ol' Illusion found religion...no picking games on Christmas Day? I figured I'd give you squares a break and take the current CRIS line instead of the opener. Sure, old ass Brett owns da Bears, even more so at home. Throw all that out, these ain't yer daddies Packers. You could HEAR them quit on MNF this week, and they get a serious beating at home next week on national TV. If we're lucky that'll convince #4 to finally hang 'em up. Maybe Ill thought he was doing me a favor leaving this one off the board? Guess i'll pass the favor along to you boys, call it an early Christmas gift.
