2024 Triple Gobble/Dark Friday

Continuing the recent trend of everything around me breaking down--car battery, fuse bulb, BlogTalk Radio--this blog post is being made the morning after our Triple Gobble podcast because no matter how many times I smashed the login button on Blogger.com, it wouldn't let me log in. It just stared back at me and stayed frozen on the login page. But it's working now. Hey, I should be thankful that the podcast site worked like it should last night, although that may have been because Jay hosted, not me. Maybe my computer is also starting to break down. But I am still thankful for everything on this Thanksgiving. I'll be more grateful if the Lions smash my Bears like I think they will, because I'll be investing in that outcome. Here are our Triple Gobble/Dark Friday picks, of which Jay and I are against each other on a couple of them:

Week 12 Recap + 2024 Triple Gobble/Dark Friday

2024 Week #12

Jay's mother commented that the audio issues for our podcast get quirkier every week, so if it's janky again, our apologies. It's no surprise that the website is shutting down at the end of the year. Jay and I were mostly on the same page for this week's picks. We have the Double Lock of the same team, and we only disagree on four of the remaining 12 picks. I do have one in the bank thanks to the Browns winning the Snow Globe game over the Steelers on Thursday. Here are our picks for NFL Week 12:

2024 Week #11

Twelve years of BlogTalk Radio will come to an end for us as the website has announced that it will shut down in January 2025. I have mixed emotions about it. Obviously, I'm grateful that Jay and I found a place that (for a fee) allowed us the platform to figure out our show and our rhythm and what we found enjoyable and entertaining. The constant technical difficulties were extremely frustrating, of course, so the eventual demise wasn't that surprising. The lack of customer service for us as paying clientele was bad business. So whatever the future holds for the show, I'm excited, and also a little nervous for the unknown, which is my normal state of existence anyway. As for our picks this week, it's always good to clear out the Lock on Thursday, which I did in picking the Eagles, which you know I did if you follow me on X/Twitter @imlddre. Jay and I battle on six picks, including the entire late slate Sunday and SNF. I hope to avoid the slaughtering he gave me last week, winning four of those five. Here are our NFL Week 11 picks:

2024 Week #10

The NFL reaches its halfway point, and Jay and I are still struggaling to make it to .500. It's been a tough season thus far. No excuses, but there have been a ton of games we've both lost by a point or a half point ATS. But that's why we play the spread, for the challenge. Now we just gotta live up to it. We're heads up on five of the remaining 13 games this week. Maybe we're coming out of it based on how accurate we were on Thursday: We knew the Ravens would beat the Bengals, but we knew the Bengals and Joe Burrow would put up a fight, and boy howdy, did they. Here's the rest of our picks for Week 10:

NFL 2024 Week #10: Apologies To Allianz

2024 Week #9

Somehow I crossed off a game we won last week as a loss, so it shows that this season is such a struggle that I'm giving us Ls where we actually earned a W. That's not good when you expect the loss because you're losing so much. Jay and I disagree on eight games this week, so one of us may be taking a lot of Ls. I know these favorites are gonna break through one of these weeks, and I'm putting my money on this week. I like the Eagles, Ravens, Saints, Bengals, Falcons, and of course my Lock, the Bills, to win by two or three (or more) scores. Here are our full picks for NFL Week 9:
