NFL 2025 Conference Championships; Bologna February
Mike and Jeff are picking the conference championship games against the spread. Jeff goes into a therapy session about his cliff dive into gambling melancholy and how it led him to his decision for the AFC championship. Mike has to play devil's advocate in the NFC game and ponders some atmospheric philosophy. Referees are part of the discussion as is some statistical analysis and other nuanced nonsense.

NFL 2024 Week 13; Good for Your Heart
After back-to-back losing weeks in the Super Contest, Mike and Jeff are looking to get back on the winning track. Jeff doesn't think the Jets are quite as ugly as Mike makes them out to be and thinks that a once elite team better fits the bill. The guys are continuing to squarely bet the mile-high city and are backing Sam Darnold plus the hook once again. Jeff is making one last effort at a sandwich spot fade, while Mike is ready to Icky Shuffle past a rah-rah Tomlin spot.

NFL 2024 Week 12; Confidence Is Killing My Bankroll
It was a brutal week for Mike and Jeff in the Super Contest as the guys went 1-4. Jeff starts out with some revisionist history on how they easily could have put a 5-0 card together. He goes in depth about how look-ahead lines can reveal where the bookmakers are most desperate to give valuable numbers in order to draw two-way action. From there you need a strong stomach, because the the picks are all ugly. Sometimes the best bets are the hardest ones to make. Mike adds some great trends that back a lot of the picks for th...

NFL 2024 Week 11; That's What She Said
Mike is back live and in person as the guys go through the week 11 slate of NFL point spreads. Lot's of contenders to choose from for ugly betty, but it's time for mayonnaise. The guys call dibs on fading the Bears for share-of-square. All three AFC North games are in contention, but one is Jeff's ultimate decision. Mike has a mile-high false finish and a prime-time fade in South Beach to close out the card for this week's Super Contest entry.

NFL week 13; Something strange is afoot
Mike is battling through this week, but the show is loaded with picks and concepts. Jeff's ultimate decision is the ultimate market correction. Even the share-of-square is ugly, so maybe these picks are bad enough to win.

NFL week 12; Everything plus the Freddie Kitchens Sink
With only 12 games to choose from for the super-contest, trimmings are slim for that cold turkey sandwich of week 12 picks. Ugly Betty is to gross for Mike to even comprehend, and share-of-square might depend on who calls in sick to work on Sunday. Ultimate decisions and all of the unqualified opinions your squares like to deliver.
