Rhode Island Scumbag NFL Locks, Week 14: Is it time to trust the Seahawks?

Bad news, everyone. Our Scumbag Lock of the Year ™ didn’t work out. The New Orleans Saints, as they somehow consistently do in Tampa, befuddled Tom Brady just long enough to make Buccaneers -3.5 a pipe dream.

That was brutal, but this is not the time for self pity. It’s when we get back on the horse and ride it into battle.

There are only nine betting weeks left in the 2022 NFL season. 10 if you’re a true degenerate dropping wagers on the Pro Bowl’s skills competitions. That leaves us a solid runway to build a war chest before the 2023 Men’s NCAA Tournament brings three weeks of betting holidays to our doorstep.

Here’s how our resident dirtbag handicapper sees it.

I apologize to anyone who followed along with the lock of the year. I feel the pain. I’m all in on this venture, so I had a very large wager on the Bucs. It hurt. I know some people who give out picks and then don’t even bet them … that is NOT me.

I put these picks out and I bet them. Hard. I was very lucky to get some of my losses back betting on the World Cup, I’ll throw in my bonus soccer picks below. On to week 14.
