Casual Lock of the Day: Varmint v. Teddy - Day 3

After our man Varmint in Vegas went 4-7 in his first 11 picks (including a soul crushing and wallet burning 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 and Picks after The Jump:

Star-divide

Tale of the Tape: 

Varmint Teddy

Gambler_medium Teddy_2_medium
Head to Head Record 0-2 2-0
Age 37 Almost 2 years old
Race Ghostly White Maltipoo
Weight 205 pounds 6 pounds
Fun Fact "I have the upper body of a 12 year old boy and the lower body of a 75 year old man." "I have an appointment for my annual booster shots tomorrow."

 

Varmint's Pick:

Ok...I am 4-9 and have lost to a dog the last two days.

I think if I lose my next 2 picks I will be done.  Losing to a dog has taken its toll on my pride and I am beginning to get some odd looks from strangers at the local 'Books here in Vegas.

IDAHO @ NEW Mexico State....OVER 150  These teams don't have a brain....no D will played in this game....lot's of JC deadbeats/transfers....players transfer for a reason....

 

Empty your bank account and lay heavy.  OVER 150 is a LOCK!!!

Teddy's Pick:

I am 2-0.  This Varmint guy stinks like my poo.

There's a chihuahua named Dayton in the neighborhood and he is always barking at me.  I'm not sure why he's playing basketball now and getting points to boot, but I'm going with Temple -3 because that's where my mommy and daddy go sometimes when they leave me alone in the house.

Miracle of Teddy

He has turned my least favorite feature of this site into one of the best.

I can have oodles of charm when I want to.

I’m with aja, I’ve been waiting for Teddy’s pick of the day. I hope he doesn’t get scared going to the vet for his booster shots tomorrow. It’ll be ok Teddy. Maybe your owners will buy you a new toy if you’re a good puppy.

great pick on Temple, Teddy...

Teddy’s winning picks are the only thing keeping me from a forced liquidation of my tix for the Notre Dame game, and facing eternal damnation on the “Traitorous Season Ticket Holders List”

Casual Purim Party?

On a basketball note, good ugly win for Temple tonight (and they covered). St. Johns did everything they could to lose that game. What a joke. Notre Dame looking good, time to take ’em down a notch.

Not all bad

It’s time somebody points out that it is just as difficult to pick all losers ATS as it is to pick all winners ATS. Keep up the good work Varmint.

Casually.
