Like the Gamblers Bible says, “Las Vegas giveth, and Las Vegas taketh away”. After a much needed rebound week due to some welcoming spreads I was able to even out, but Vegas has decided to once again kick me in the balls this week. There are TEN spreads under 6 points, and in the gambling world we call that a trap. But you know me: I’m like a mouse that narrowly escapes a trap and then goes right back to it more cheese. If I was somebody that learns their lesson I wouldn’t be betting in the first place. Anyway, let’s get into the spreads and who I went with for the upcoming Week 5

MONDAY

Like I alluded to above, these are some tight spreads. I could see a lot of these matchups going either way, which really makes you wonder what is it that Vegas knows that we don’t. per usual, do with these what you will. I’ll be happy if I go 8/16 this week, but given the spreads, I wouldn’t be shocked if I went 0/16 or 16/16. Not knowing what’s gonna happen is the name of the game, and that’s why I love gambling just as much as a I despise it.
