After 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 was 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? 

Tale of the Tape: 

	Varmint	Teddy
Head to Head Record	0-1	1-0
Age	37	Almost 2 years old
Race	Ghostly White	Maltipoo
Weight	205 pounds	6 pounds
Fun Fact	"I have failed and fallen on my ass a lot in life; but I would rather live life that way than play it safe."	"I take naps during the day."

The Picks after The Jump:

Varmint's Pick:

I am 4-8 and fully realize I lost to a dog last night.

My pick for Tuesday: Providence +8 vs. Syracuse.  The Friars are a team that really does not give a sh-t, a reflection of the state the play in, Rhode Island. This is a "ball 'til you fall" type of game. Either Providence wins by 2 or loses by 22. Providence is a party school so look for the student body to call and text the Cuse players once they get their hands on their cell phones.

Empty your bank account and lay heavy.  Providence +8 is a LOCK!!!

Teddy's Pick:

 

I am 1-0.  This Varmint guy stinks like my poo.

I do not know what "ball 'til you fall" means, but yesterday I played fetch for a few minutes before enjoying a small bowl of hard food for dinner.  I like the way Kansas State -4 smells.
