Ronald Reagan vs. Ted Baxter

Today I thought I'd start a new feature - the Ronald Reagan vs. Ted Baxter betting NFL football contest.

The conservative theory of NFL betting is to take a home team getting 3 or fewer points. Who is more conservative than Ronald Reagan? Note - this theory does not include games which are a "pick". The Ted Baxter theory of football betting says to take the NFL teams getting 10 or more points under the idea that both teams are professionals and how much difference could there be between two groups of professionals? Ted Baxter used this method to soundly whip Lou Grant betting football games.

Week 3 NFL Picks

Ronald Reagan - there are no home teams getting 3 or less points this week. This theory went 2-0 week one with Buffalo and Green Bay getting the wins. It went 1-0 in week 2 with Arizona successfully defending home turf. That's 3-0 for the season.





Ted Baxter - there are two game that qualify this week - the Bills are getting 17 points against the Patriots and the 49ers are getting 10 points against the Steelers (this line has been jumping between 9 and 10 points but its at 10 currently). There were no teams getting 10 or more points in week 1 but the theory went 3-1 in week 2 (Steelers covered while Baltimore, Chicago and Jacksonville did not). That's 3-1 for the season.
