Whoop whoop. A 5-1 Week 13 proved to be our best week here at the $ix Rack.

rake

Did Week 13 include a 1 year old randomly picking the Bills -2.5? Yes. Do we care? No. Are we going to do it again this week? Yes.

Don’t worry. I still managed to lose money gambling for the 13th consecutive weekend betting on other games. Although this week, I am making a vow I end up in the black.

BYU didn’t help this past week. Doubling down on it live during the game didn’t help either. So much for my $10 BYU Natty Championship bet to win $3K on FanDuel.

The playoff picture in college football continues to look the same – pretty boring. I’ll spare you the drama from the competition committee and break it all down for you here. Not going to waste my time with anyone in the Big Ten besides OSU for obvious reasons.

There you go, “THE Committee” no longer has a reason to meet in the same room.

As far as the NFL goes, the Steelers finally got what they had coming. I am maintaining that Big Ben is washed and the chances of them losing in the first round is better than them making the Super Bowl. Yes, I’m biased but I don’t really care. I saw a playoff predictor if the season ended today and it had the #3 seed Bills playing the #6 seed Browns and I actually laughed out loud thinking about I live in a world where the Bills and Browns are playing meaningful football AGAINST EACH OTHER in January.

The NFC continues to be a toss up. The Saints are obviously the team to beat but still think I can see the Rams making a run. We’d all be satisfied with a Rams Chiefs 54-51 Super Bowl similar to the 2018 game would make us all happy. Week 14 Trav is going to roll with that for now so get your futures bets in accordingly. Feel free to fade me.

Let’s get to the recap.

WEEK 13 RECAP

1. 1. Texas A&M -6 (vs. Auburn) 💰WINNER💰

Final Score: Texas A&M 31 – Auburn 20

Still don’t think the Aggies are legit but this is just proof yet again the Tigers aren’t. Always a great feeling when your initial gut reaction to a line is spot on.

2. Appalachian State vs. Louisiana-Lafayette UNDER 51.5 – 💰WINNER💰

Final Score: Appalachian State 21 – Louisiana-Lafayette 24

I feel bad for you if you didn’t watch this game. As the Editor pointed out to me after this game, there was actually 3 competitors in this game and the final score was:

  • App State: 12
  • LA-Lafayette: 25
  • LA-Lafayette long snapper: 9 (for App St) + -1 (LA Lafayette) = 8

Contrary to the final score, this game was actually a blowout between the two teams involved – although the long snapper did keep it close with App State.

Side note: Why does it seem like it is always just pissing rain in Boone, NC?

3. OSU -21.5 (vs. Michigan State) – 💰WINNER💰

Final Score: OSU 52 – Michigan State 12

There’s something that makes the losing team having 12 points even seem worse than having a number like 7 or 10. The only thing I got wrong about this game was predicting the Buckeyes would be up 21 points at the half and they were actually up 28-0. Although he doesn’t look very much like a property brother, Larry Johnson, Sr. had the boys ready to slap an eviction notice on Spartan Stadium (hey oh).

4. Patriots -1 (vs. Chargers) – 💰WINNER💰

Final Score: Patriots 45 – Chargers 0

The line somehow moved to Chargers -2 before the game. Yes, you read that correctly. I will never understand how Vegas can be so wrong sometimes in a game like this where one team has something to play for and one has nothing to play for. Both teams played like it. I am somehow still very worried about the Pats breaking my heart.

5. Titans -5.5 (vs. Browns) – ❌LOSER❌

Final Score: Titans 35 – Browns 41

Not sure how I could be so right with the last game and so wrong with this game. My god, this one hurts bad. Titans now 5-7 against the spread this year and I’m now 0-5 picking the Titans this year against the spread. I feel like I should win some type of award at this point honestly. I am officially retiring the Titans in the $ix Rack and someone please hold me to that.

6. Guest Pick: Bills -2.5 (vs. 49ers) – 💰WINNER💰

Final Score: Bills 34 – 49ers 24

WE DID IT! WE FINALLY DID IT!

*Editor’s Note: Technically, a 1 year old did it*

***The guest pick losing streak officially ends at 9.***

LSMLW: Navy +410 (vs. Tulsa) – ❌LOSER❌

Final Score: Navy 6 – Tulsa 19

Nope. This is just getting straight up stupid at this point.

1:1 (+105) – ❌LOSER❌

Washington ML (vs. Stanford) L
Iowa ML (vs. Illinois) W
Chiefs ML (vs. Broncos) W
Packers ML (vs. Eagles) W

I have watched the Cardinal suck enough this year to know they should not have been hanging around, let alone beating the Huskies. I am stunned.

What was I right about:

  • The $ix rack is back
  • Texas A&M -10
  • App State/Ragin’ Cajuns D
  • No Property Brother, no problem (S/o LJ Sr.)
  • Patriots run
  • Chargers against the spread

What was I wrong about:

  • Dabo doesn’t care about the spread
  • The GD Browns
  • Navy having any chance
  • Washington Huskies

WEEK 14 WINNERS

This week’s winners are:

1. BYU -16 (vs. SDSU)

Don’t let a heartbreaking loss last weekend distract you from the fact that the Cougars are 8-2 against the spread this year. For obvious reasons, I expect no hangover from BYU this week.

2. Army -6.5 (vs. Navy)

Sure you can probably throw out the records given the rivalry and Army has beaten up on garbage opponents this year. However, Army is coming in off a win over a solid Georgia Southern team while Navy has lost four straight. Also keep in mind this game is usually a neutral site game, but will be played at West Point this year and Army’s 6-0 at home this year and 4-2 ATS.

3. WVU +13.5 (vs. Oklahoma)

Speaking of playing well at home, for whatever reasons, WVU is a different animal at home. They’re 5-0 at home this year and 4-0-1 against the spread in these games. There’s just something special about Morgantown, West Virginia. Which reminds me of seeing a nearly toothless dude at a game I attended in 2012 drinking an ice cold 24oz Budweiser shirtless when it was 5 degrees out. I had two winter coats on and we left at halftime it was so cold, yet he was somehow topless. I still ask myself at times what that guy is up to right now. I can only imagine he is the CEO of some Fortune 500 Company if he listed that on his resume.

4. Saints -6.5 (vs. Eagles)

CHUGGA CHUGGA! CHUGGA CHUGGA! CHOO CHOO!

The Saints are winners are 5 straight and 5-0 against the spread in these games. Jalen Hurts will be making his first career start and I have no statistics for rookie quarterbacks against #1 total defenses, but it can’t be promising. This line is way too good to be true.

The Saints train rolls on! 🚂

5. Ravens -1.5 (vs. Browns)

Let’s not forget these teams already played each other this year and the Ravens won 32-6. Sure the Browns will likely trim the 32-point margin of victory this time around but I just don’t see a scenario where they win this game. I like the Ravens by a TD or more on Monday night.

6. Guest Pick: Texans -1.5 (vs. Bears)

Matt Woman is back and looking to make it back to back guest pick W’s. This week’s video proof:

*Editor’s Note: Rule #1 of Gambling – You have to roll with Matt Woman until she loses. Everyone knows that.*

Long Shot Moneyline of the Week:

Arizona +360 (vs. Arizona State)

Yeah I’m betting this but I wouldn’t if I was you.

1:1

  • Florida (vs LSU)
  • BYU (vs San Diego State)
  • Saints (vs Eagles)
  • Chiefs (vs Dolphins)

+108

The real question is who’s gonna break my heart this week? Seriously look at the list of games though – this would require a MASSIVE upset.

And that’s that. Let’s keep things rolling in Week 14, Rack Pack. Enjoy an action-packed weekend of football. You know where to find me if you need me.

SEASON TOTALS (W – L – PUSH)

LAST WEEK: 5-1-0

ALL WEEKS: 38-38-2

GUEST PICKS: 3-9-1 (W1)

ME: 35-29-1
