Picking against your favorite team is one thing. But going to the game while wearing their apparel and (not so) secretly rooting against them to lose? It’s a bad situation, all the way around.
Yep, last weekend my family took a mini vacation to the Edward Jones Dome to watch the New Orleans Saints play the St. Louis Rams, my favorite NFL team since they moved from LA to STL. And, as usual, Uncle Rob joined me here for the Spring Vegas podcast and we vehemently picked against the Rams, who were a 14-point underdog. We even agreed that Vegas should move the line to 21 points. And what happened?
Saints 28, Rams 23
Instead of rolling over, the Rams tried to actually win the game. Ugh.
So, I’ve learned my lesson. When I get in the car and head to Lincoln, Neb. this weekend, I’m not going to go for or against Nebraska. I’m just going to enjoy the game.
But even with the Rams spoiling our unanimous pick, we still finished 8-6 this past week, pushing us to to 56-45-1 on the season.
