PrintAfter our man Varmint in Vegas went 4-7 in his first 11 picks (including a soul crushing 6 game losing streak), we here at the GLOBAL PHENOMENON began listening to your pleas to make a change. But rather than dump Varmint while he's down on his luck, we decided to make things a bit more interesting while at the same time testing out one of gambling's greatest questions: Can an avid sports gambler pick better than my puppy? Let's check out the tale of the tape:
| Varmint | Teddy | |
 |
 |
|
| Age | 37 | Almost 2 years old |
| Race | Ghostly White | Maltipoo |
| Weight | 205 pounds | 6 pounds |
| Fun Fact | "I bought a house in Vegas 3 years ago and it is worth about the same as my 1997 Toyota Corolla." | "I sometimes pee in the house just to see my owners get angry." |
Varmint v. Teddy after The Jump:
Varmint's Pick:
I am 4-7.
The pick for Big Monday: Slim pickings...I will take West Virginia +1 at UCONN. I still say UCONN just does not have enough firepower in the end to beat a top 10 team on a consistent basis. A fight could break out in this game, items will be thrown on the floor...and Huggins will be wearing a sweatsuit from Ross dress for less!
Empty your bank account and lay heavy. WVU +1 is a LOCK!!!
Teddy's Pick:
Wait...you're giving me the Sooners +21.5 AND I get to play with my favorite sock? Take Oklahoma and thank me later. I enjoy Beggin' Strips.

Remember
when I said “It’s not unthinkable that Pitt could win out” before they played WVU? That’s not looking so crazy now. Just saying.
tis true
It’s not inconceivable
that Pitt wins out.

I was actually wondering
how long it would take for you to cram pictures of your dog down the throats of the 6 people on here that haven’t seen it!

Two Varmints going head to head
I love it… one gets Huggins and a point, the other gets Capel and the 21.5 points that Bill Self is apparently giving up for Lent.
Personally, i have neither lint not 21.5 points in my pockets period. I’ll go with the Dog for win.

Bad Line
Where is Varmint getting the 1 point on WVU? Lines on donbest.com showing WVU -1 at open, having moved to -2 to -2.5 across the board.

nice lock, I like it
I CAN’T WAIT to bet my earnings on the Sooners game. You always go with the puppy especially when he’s going up against a loser gambler who’s down on his luck.
full body spandex suits
Varmint is Terrible
Big win for UConn. And Georgetown.
If Marquette loses one, Georgetown can clinch #4 seed by winning out.
Good talk.
I am up huge
I take the opposite of the Lock, and may pay off my mortgage. Thanks for being so consistently wrong Varmint. Stay in Vegas. And start selling puts on the S&P 500 so the stock market will take off.
the damn dog beat the varmint
Of course, Teddy is realistic and only has the Hoyas ranked at #20, also……
remember when JGD wanted us to name 7 temas better than the Hoyas??
LOL!!!….. ok, Syracuse, Villanova, ODU, SFU, Marquette and (barf) Rutgers
Esherick? Craig Esherick is that you?
Good talk.

Lock of the Day 2/23
I’m gonna give this a shot:
PROVIDENCE +8.5 vs. Syracuse.
I like the pick
Cuse is 7-0 on the road ATS in conference, Providence 2-5 at home ATS in conference – something has to give.

I didn't know
any of that. Interesting. Cuse covered the spread v. DePaul? Really?
sorry, they’re 6-1 ats on the road, depaul was a 15 pt spread and they only one by 12
