My 7-year old daughter already beat me in picking Mountain West Conference basketball games against the spread, but I was able to earn a push against the family dog.
Now, it's time to face off against the real boss of the house.
But little does she know the roll I am on nfl jersey , having climbed from 14 games under .500 to just six below. Let's see who has the last laugh now.
(Even though I know it will be her).
TODAY'S GAMES:
UTAH (plus-5.5) at BRIGHAM YOUNG: The wife's take: "BYU. They are at home. You always say how good they are at home." What, she finally listens to me after 13 years?
My pick: BYU.
The wife's pick: BYU.
WYOMING (minus-2.5) at AIR FORCE: The wife's take: "Cowboys against military men. No question. I like Cowboys better." Don't believe her? We have a son named after Brad Pitt's character in "Legends of the Fall." Or maybe she just likes Brad Pitt
My pick: Wyoming.
The wife's pick: Wyoming.
SAN DIEGO STATE (minus-5) at TEXAS CHRISTIAN: The wife's take: "I lived nearly my entire life in San Diego. Of course I'd take San Diego State. I would never pick anyone over a San Diego team." For those mlb jerseys counting at home: That's the 65,789th time she has reminded me that I took her away from the only home she knew and loved.
My pick: TCU.
The wife's pick: SDSU
NEW MEXICO (minus-7.5) at COLORADO STATE: The wife's take: "Colorado State." Why? "I like those odds better." Do you know what odds are? "The spread." Do you know what the spread refers to? "What?" My point exactly.
My pick: New Mexico.
The wife's pick: CSU.
