		Mystic PICKS

Those voices have gotten somewhat contrite, almost respectful…how nice for me! One mustn’t gloat when one’s three pick was 100%, mustn’t one? That would not be behaving in a ladylike fashion.

Last week my win picks exceeded my loss pick, so I will be divining in the same method as last week to see if the wins improve for this week.

The Packers pulled it off again last week was amazing, so I'm going with The PACKERS over the Chargers. (Besides, I'll BE at that game on Sunday AND dining at the Bret Farve Steakhouse on Friday!)

Like the Packers, the Broncos are also 2-0, so I'm picking The Broncos over the Jaguars.

And, …The Steelers will beat the 49ers

Mystic Mona


	"The Tout's" PICKS

What is a “Tout” she asks, step over to the corner of the bar little lady and I’ll tell you! And while we’re at it, I’ll give you a sure thing in the 3^rd race and let you in on some sure fire winners in tonight’s ballgames….. The planets must have been aligned just right or she used a Joker in her Tarot deck because Mystic got me good last week, she kicked my tush (see rat reference near conclusion of next section) in the three games where we differed SU. Mystic went a more than respectful 13-3 SU and I went ------- forget about it! The Month by the way, came in 3-0 SU (following the rules?) When is he going to do all the games like Mystic & I? It’s not like he does anything else but handicap and think of 50 cent words to use in his columns…

I too can inscribe eloquence eloquently. Perhaps I am not as articulately stylish as my mentor, the Mouth of Motown, but hey, we’re talking to the likes of “punters” in smoke filled vociferous betting parlors that are dreaming of filling in a 10 team parlay card, not the members of the staff of the Center for Advanced Studies at MIT….

My use of the term “punter does not imply British lineage. I did however, attend a soccer game once. I fell asleep twice during the match and the team I bet on lost 1-0. May Pele and Maradona please forgive me my intent in the previous lines. Also, by referring to the Mouth as my mentor is not meant to include the implication that he is older than I, although appearances can be deceiving.

I know what your thinking at this juncture “We don’t give a “Rat’s Tush” about all that, let’s cut out the chaff (you country boys know what that is), and get to the business at hand.

OK, here goes!

I know that +1/2 star is nothing to “write (or e-mail) home about, in fact it’s nothing at all when you factor in the book’s “juice.” Anyway, here’s another stouthearted effort to help you shrink the $$$ stockpiles of your favorite casino…

The Tout


	"The Mouth of Motown" PICKS

I will eschew the obvious New England selection in favor of 3 somewhat more "competitive" games.

Colts over the Texans

Steelers over the 49ers

Eagles over the Lions

Without going into great detail on the individual games allow me to just point out the fact that I am choosing to pick vs. three 2-0 teams. The reason is, they represent three of the worst starting 2 win teams in my admittedly failing memory. If any become 3-0 'monkeys will jump out my ..."
