Bar Stool Pundits week 3

[natedogg]

Gentlemen, I bring the latest hot picks from the BSPs.

The BSP record so far: 0-4-1. For those of us who are fading the Bar Stool, those are numbers we like to see.

This week there is one BSP pick that dwarfs all others.

Eagles -7.5 over Raiders Even on this board as of yesterday I did not see one single Raider pick in the 3+1 contest. That speaks volumes. There is simply no money coming in on the Raiders from what I can see, and I am from Oakland! And why should there be? The Eagles are a superbowl team, and the Raiders are helmed by a ex-drunkard behind a line of felons that draw penalties every other play.

In other thread there were some many fine suggestions for BSP fades, and all have merit, but the biggest standout after the Eagles is Carolina.

Carolina -3 at Miami Apparently in week 1 we witnessed the "fake" Miami and the "fake" Carolina. Week 2 showed us the "real" Miami and the "real" Carolina. The Bar Stool Pundits are convinced that the true world beaters head out for their first road game of season where they will suck on the morrow of Frerotte's femur to the dismay of what few hurricane survivors remain in Miami. This pick has further confirmation with a clean sweep by Yahoo's expert picks. Gotta love it.

Third place is still muddled. The Jags, Chiefs, Colts, and Seahawks are in strong contention with the BSPs. We'll see if a clear third place pick shakes out by Sunday.

For now, the very strong BSP plays for us faders are:

Raiders +7.5
Miami +3

As always, that looks freakin ugly to me but I don't pick 'em, I just report.
