1-800-Go Against...

… is the moniker that a good friend of ours hangs on our sporting picks (for entertainment purposes only). It was never more apt than yesterday, when we took both dogs against the spread in the NFL divisional playoffs. The only correct prediction was the over in the Arizona-New Orleans game, thanks to Reggie Bush, which, by the way, sounds like a name the patrician presidential family would have given to one of its progeny.

Nevertheless, we’re undaunted, sticking with the dogs today (Dallas and New York) to win outright, also expecting the over in the Dallas-Minnesota game (45 ½ pts) and the under (42 pts) in the New York-San Diego game. Tony Romo and Miles Austin will shred the Vikings, despite Bret Favre. Mark Sanchez is too cool and Braylon Edwards will use stickum to hang on to TD passes.

So if you want to entertain yourselves, dial the number and go against these predictions. Or take the plunge in the Atlantic off Coney Island, you brave polar bears in Speedos, but don’t blame us for significant shrinkage.
