Daddy Needs New Shoes January 19 2007

January 19, 2007

Record thus far: 11-11-2 (NHL: 4-1; NBA: 5-6-1; NFL: 2-1-1; NCAA BB: 0-3)

Daddy apologizes for not posting last night, but I was busy harnessing all of my energy into praying that Brad would win the �Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Duel� finals. Unfortunately, Brad lost and I once again feel as though God doesn�t care. Oh well, back to sports talk. On Jan. 17, I put up a strong night of picks, going 2-1, which improved my record overall, and solidified the fact that I am the worst NCAA basketball predictor alive. If you want to win money, take the opposite of all of my college picks, and send me a check later.

1) New Orleans Hornets at San Antonio Spurs UNDER 177 points

Watching this game will be about as entertaining as watching old people fuck. One of the slowest teams in the NBA, the Spurs, will be playing against one of the worst offensive teams of the decade in the Hornets. The only way this score goes OVER is if Tim Duncan snorts a few lines of coke beforehand and the Spurs put up 110 points.

2) Charlotte Bobcats +5.5 at Atlanta Hawks

The Hawks are on a three-game winning streak right now, which can only mean one thing � they�re gonna lose. Whether you want to call me a pessimist or a realist is up to you, but the Hawks go on four-game winning streaks about as often as George W. Bush makes the right decision. The Bobcats also dominate this series all-time with a record of 6-3.

3) Denver Nuggets �1.5 vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

The Nuggets haven�t played since their 109-93 victory over the Portland Trailblazers on Jan. 14. Combine a five-day rest with the mile-high altitude and the Nuggets have a serious advantage over an exhausted LeBron James-led Cavs team that will be playing its third game in four nights, and their sixth game in a row on the road.

Please bet responsibly, although I probably won�t.
