And we have our first push...
3 bets were placed last night - all resulting in a push...
Eller - $120 on the Bears (-3)
Mansfield - $100 on the Saints (+3)
Mills - $50 on the Saints (+3)
Considering the way things have been going the past few weeks, I'd say a push is pretty good...

Week 14 Picks presented by Old Spice
I'm excited to announce The Unified Fund picked up a ton of corporate sponsors this weekend. The only problem is we're now contractually obligated to do a little corporate name-dropping throughout these posts.
Last week's carnage seems to have most playing it a little on the safer side this week. However, Mr. Kessler is the exception, who has our HUGE NUTS Play of the Week sponsored by Planters®, throwing down $300 on Bill Bellicheck and the Pats (-4.5). If it works out, Kessler could be very close to the top Unified Fund Leaderboard, presented by BF Goodrich Tires®.
He's not alone in thinking the Pats will cover - $665 was bet on the Pats overall. Without question, that makes the Patriots our BIG AND HARD BET OF THE DAY, sponsored by Viagra.
The Cowboys got a good deal of love from the gallery as well...and no one backed off their Cowboy picks even after the Barbarian was ruled out with a toe injury. On a side note, can you really be named the Barbarian if you can't even play through a toe injury? The answer is no. That's like missing 4 weeks with a pinkie finger injury. He will be referred to as Barbie from now on (sponsored by Mattel®).
Finally, with the Optimist Prime pick of the week sponsored by Transformers 2, it's the Commish himself betting on his Redskins (+5) IN BALTIMORE, despite the fact that he's got an offense that can't score going up a defense that doesn't allow points. Nothing's gotta give.
Without further ado, here are your week 14 picks, delivered by FedEx®:
1. Zack Mansfield sponsored by Odiance®

Thursday Night Bets
I know it was suggested that Thursday night bets are kept secret because they could affect how everyone bets for the week...however, since I see the bets, it's probably only fair that everyone else see them too. Plus, if I bet on Thursday, you guys probably need to see that before game time, rather than just taking my word for it after the game.
And for some reason tonight, I'm going to bet on Norv Turner. Which has got to be a mistake. But I'm doing it anyway. See you next season.
And since misery loves company, Collier "The Weatherman" Mills is going to join me in losing money tonight...

Week 13: CARNAGE
My Sunday could have been better. I stood in 37 degrees and pouring rain for 5 straight hours watching my Redskins get dominated by the Giants (up close, Brandon Jacobs is biggest dude I've ever seen). I was cold, soaked, and pretty much completely miserable. My only bright spot: as we walked out of the stadium, I saw the scores from around the NFL flash - and I saw Packers 28, Panthers 21 - 4th quarter. So, although I had just contracted pnemonia and my team had lost the game and most likely a chance at the playoffs, it appeared that at least my $400 bet on the Packers was going to pay off.
That was, until we walked out of the stadium, lost all bearings on where we parked, and took a full 20-minute lap around the outside of the stadium in search of our car. Once we finally found the car, I turned on the radio, and heard Panthers 35, Packers 31. Dagger.
But, at least I wasn't alone. Week 13 dominated many of us. Every big play failed - most notably the plays on the Colts who got screwed by the hook...
- Strait lost $480.
- Shade lost $350.
- Eller lost $320.
- Mobley lost $140.
- Hill lost $120.
- Mills lost $120.
- Kessler lost $35.
HOWEVER, there were some winners. The leader kept things going with an impressive 3-1 record. And, in the comeback of the year, Furnas went 4-0 and climbed back into serious contention. Also, Stink took over 2nd place by playing it smart and only betting a third of his balance - it was a good week to do that. The winners were:
- Furnas - $120.
- Mansfield - $50.
- Stink - $10.
Overall as a group, our records combined are 69-52-0, a winning percentage of 57%.
It's going to get sweaty as the regular season winds down. And as always, I'm talking rainforest sweaty.
DISCLAIMER: Just so everyone knows, I was laying it on a little thick about the game - I don't deserve any sympathy. Our seats were ridiculous - I could have reached out and smacked Corey Webster in the face while he was warming up at halftime if I wanted to (and, yes, I wanted to). Despite the loss, the bad weather, the hammered Giants fans next to us...it was a blast.
