Well that was another shitty week. Sonic is definitely pissed off that he keeps dying. Last week we can blame the Giants for being our failing hinge team. Probably shouldn’t do that with an 0-4 team right? Just don’t screw us this week Houston. On to the Week 6 NotBS Bet Box.

Before we get started, a couple uncommon definitions:

Pick 5: Pool designed to pick 5 winners against the spread. Must win all 5 selections to share in the pot; A push ties. Generally, spreads are 1 3 7 10 14 and 17

2/3 Team Teaser: Teasing is when you are given points for multiple picks (either a team ats or an o/u) for little less odds than a parlay. A 2 team teaser gets 6 points while a 3 team teaser gets 10.

Parlay: Multiple bets correct for maximum profit

Prop: Achievements by teams or individual players

“Hinge team:” There may be a technical term so if you come across it please fill me in. It’s basically the team that you think is the lock to do what you want them to do. So you use that team in multiple parlays and teasers because you are counting on them. Basically if that team doesn’t do what you want, you end up having a shitty day. Feels like Chicago is my hinge team this week. I may have been completely wrong about them. I had them pegged for a 4-12 season and now I think they will win the NFC North. But seriously, I hate the Bears.
