Tonight was the rare Lock Club moment where it made sense to cheer against your pick in the hopes that someone else would suffer. While a vast majority of our league had taken the 49ers to cover, Gladiator was the only one to drop a full Vapor fueled 11 units down on Coach Harbaugh's squad. A victory here would mean that his lead would expand to 28 units. A loss would shrink it to less than 10. Things were looking good for Meehoe (and the rest of the league in general) when the Rams jumped out to a commanding 17-3 lead early. Then they woke up and realized that, while they may be the Rams, the suck monkey balls. Even though they proved to be COMPLETELY inept offensively for most of the second half, they still had a chance to COVER THAT SPREAD in the closing minutes. Down 10, whoever was playing quarterback for the Rams overthrew a wide open tight end at the 5 which would have almost assuredly meant a cover. Then down 7 with with less than a minute to play, SF sealed the deal with a pick six.
So what does all of this mean. JB is killing you, me, everybody. There is a traffic jam for the next two money spots with Captain maintaining his 2nd place position and Meehoe and T-$ tied for third. Packy is a mere 1 point out of the money. Well Tea and Dirty D are in the conversation as well. The name change was huge for the artist formerly known as Montez. Yahoo went a perfect 3-0 (as did T-$) and managed to move out of last place. Blowing a lock meant that Gator now finds himself residing in the basement.
Overall, it was another amazing week. After starting 5-9 on Saturday, we rallied to finish 27-15 on the week as well as 48 units ahead. This brought us to 41-15 on NFL games over the past two weeks. On the year, we are 129-120-3. Not too shabby.
Yeah Boyyyyyy!!!
