hey, that would be just our luck, though, right? we beat the ravens 14-13, but the refs rule that the ravens win the game.

they've screwed us over every other way, so it would only make sense.... :-)

Read closely, one is against the spread which has the Skins -2, the other has the Skins winning by 1 point. The end result is the Ravens picked against the spread. :twak:

i saw that, but he still went with the ravens. if he thinks the skins will win by one point in his article, he should have reflected that by putting our glorious indian chief logo under his name, instead of that retchid, vulturous bird

Except that isn't what their pick decisions are based on, they are picking against the spread not straight-up. :banghead: :smash:

This guy is an idiot, their should be some credentials needed to be a sports writer like at least a high school diploma.

When you pick against a spread, a team is given points. Like we are -2, meaning that we are 2 point favorites over Baltimore. If a person picks us, we must win by 3 or more for that person to be right. He thinks the score will be 14-13, so we only win by one. In that case, he must pick Baltimore in the spread. This doesn't make him stupid at all, and he's right to pick Baltimore if that is what he thinks the score will be.

I wish he had picked the Ravens, it's time for us to start making some noise as the underdogs, we've been favored in every game so far this season and it hasn't gotten us very far.

As underdogs we will reclaim the Kingship of the NFL.
