As an actor, screenwriter, and producer, Matt Damon is one of Hollywood’s most desired talents. He has popped up in a series of cinema hits over the past thirty years, (Saving Private Ryan, Good Will Hunting, The Departed)  and has brought the iconic Jason Bourne to life since 2002. It is now 2016 and Matt Damon is still delivering. There’s no better time than now to find out what he’s worth.

Matt Damon’s Net Worth as of 2016: $140 Million.

1995 – 1999

When Matt Damon wasn’t in class at Harvard he was playing a handful of small roles for television. In 1997, he got his first break as the lead in the critically acclaimed Good Will Hunting. Damon starred in the film alongside Robin Williams and wrote the script with co-star Ben Affleck. The film grossed $225 million at the box office worldwide and received nine Academy Awards. Of those nominations, Damon won his first Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

In 1999, Damon played the role of another complex genius in the film The Talented Mr. Ripley. The role earned him both Golden Globe and Blockbuster nominations. That same year, Damon also co-starred with Tom Hanks in the highly successful World War II film Saving Private Ryan.

2000 – 2006

Before the spotlight returned in 2001, Damon starred in the mediocre film The Legend of Bagger Vance. Then, Damon came back when he co-starred with George Clooney and Brad Pitt  in the successful remake of Ocean’s Eleven, which earned $450 million at the box office worldwide. In 2002, Damon became the iconic amnesiac Jason Bourne in The Bourne Identity. That same year, Damon lent his vocal talent to Dreamworks Animation in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. Although critically mixed, the animated film was a box office success.

In 2004, Damon returned as Jason Bourne in The Bourne Supremacy. The sequel was a success and Damon’s performance received an Empire Award.  After starring in two unsuccessful films in (The Brothers Grimm and Syriana) Damon took the spotlight back in 2006 with his leading role in The Departed. The film took home three Academy Awards including Best Picture.

2007 – 2015

Following his success from The Departed, (which included fellow actors Jack Nicholson and Leonardo DiCaprio). Damon went on to reprise his previous roles in The Bourne Ultimatum and Ocean’s Thirteen. Both films performed average, not earning as much as Damon’s previous works. In 2010, Damon gained critical praise in True Grit as a ranger on a vengeful quest in the successful remake of True Grit.

In 2014, Damon hit new highs with two hugely successful films. First, as a delirious survivor turned madman in Interstellar and then in 2o15, as a cynical survivalist-turned-hero in The Martian.

Damon’s future appearances on the screen for 2016 include upcoming fantasy action film: The Great Wall and a long-awaited return to the Bourne Series in the appropriately titled Jason Bourne.

Before people came to know him onscreen as Jason Bourne, Matt Damon was a mathematician, a thief, and a soldier.  Before that, he was a struggling screenwriter in college. Now, he is so much more. Damon is one of the most highly regarded actors in the acting industry. As his success grows, so should his current value.

I think when it comes down to it, a lot of us wouldn’t really want to live to be 110-years-old. After a certain age, we begin to lose our personality, our ability to have fun, our memories, and the ability to enjoy some of life’s vices. But not Richard Overton. This BAMF is America’s oldest surviving veteran of WWII and is still living large.

When asked by Guns.com (a great URL btw) about what he credits his longevity with, this original gangster responded, “Smoking cigars, drinking whiskey and being able to defend himself and his country with firearms.” And what does he do when he shows them around his house looking at his arsenal of guns? He’s smoking cigars and handling shotguns like a boss.

Also, those tears you saw at the end of the video were because of allergies… the kinds that you get once the air starts getting dry or something.

Now even f*cking holidays are under siege from the PC police, huh? What’s next? Santa won’t be allowed to wear red because he’ll be offending the crips? St. Patrick’s day will just be changed to just Patrick’s Day because ‘Saint’ is too religious?

At Tufts University, located in Massachusettes (obviously), a letter circulated among members of fraternities and sororities at Tufts University warns that school officials have promised campus police investigations for anyone “wearing an offensive costume” this Halloween season. The letter went on to warn “there are consequences for wearing an offensive costume.”

Via The College Fix:

“Mary Pat McMahon, the Dean of Student Affairs, described the consequences as follows: ‘The range of response for students whose actions make others in our community feel threatened or unsafe, or who direct conduct towards others that is offensive or discriminatory, includes [Office of Equal Opportunity] and/or [Tufts University Police Department] investigation and then disciplinary sanctions from our office that could run a wide gamut depending on what is brought to our attention and the impact of these actions on others. Any complaints will result in full investigation by University officials and could result in serious disciplinary sanctions through Judicial Affairs.’”

What a crock of shit. I really can’t stand this whole PC culture. You know what’s DOPE about having eyes? That you can look wherever the hell you want. If you see a costume that offends you, then don’t f*cking look at it. No need to ruin everyone else’s fun. And who/how is going to determine whether something offensive or not? Is being Harambe offensive? So help me God if they deem Harambe costumes offensive.

And since you’re here, check out our rankings of the most offensive costumes you can wear this Halloween:

Cleveland rocks! Cleveland rocks!

After a convincing 6-0 victory in Game 1, the Indians will look to take a commanding 2-0 lead against the Cubs tonight in Game 2 of the World Series. It will be Trevor Bauer of the Indians facing off against Jake Arrieta of the Cubs. It’s important to note that due to impending rain, the game will start one hour earlier than it’s scheduled time. First pitch is now set for 7:08 P.M. on Fox.

Last night might’ve been the greatest day in Cleveland sports. First, it was ring night for the Cleveland Cavaliers as they raised their NBA Championship banner. The Cavaliers went on to dismantle the Knicks, 117-88. Right across the arena, the Indians stole a page from the Cavs playbook and put on a show as Cleveland defeated the Chicago Cubs 6-0 in Game 1 of the World Series.

The story of the night was the dominance of Cleveland’s pitching. The three-headed monster of Corey Kluber, Andrew Miller, and Cody Allen held the best offense in baseball to zero runs and seven hits. Last night reiterated the fact that if the Cubs do not get an early lead, good luck against Cleveland’s bullpen because they have been fantastic this whole postseason. That being said, the offense was no slouch. Shortstop Eric Lindor showed why he will be a force in the future, racking up three hits. Surprisingly, the bulk of the offense came from the nine hitter, catcher Roberto Perez, who had not one, but two home runs and four RBI on the night. The best stat that is going under-the-radar is Terry Francona is now 9-0 in World Series games. Francona might very well be managing himself into the Hall of Fame.

For the Cubs, wasting a Jon Lester start was not in the plan. Lester had a rocky start and it was considered an off-night for his standards. Lester lasted just over five innings, giving up three runs on six hits. However, if you were to tell Cubs manager Joe Maddon that the Cubs would score zero runs for Lester, he would probably tell you that you were crazy. The Cubs had their chances in the seventh with bases loaded and nobody out. However, the bats could not get it done against the dominate Miller. There was one bright spot for the Cubs and that was the return of Kyle Schwarber. In his first game since April, Schwarber went one for three with a rocket double off-the-wall. If Schwarber can get going, he’ll bring this lineup a much needed spark.

Will Cleveland’s magical run as a city continue? Will the Cubs’ batters figure out a way to score off of Andrew Miller? The biggest storyline might be the impending weather. Despite the earlier start time, rain is still in the forecast so it will be interesting to see what the umpires will do once it hits. With a travel day scheduled for Thursday, both teams will do everything it takes to get the game in tonight.

Let’s take a look at how to watch Game 2 tonight.

American Horror Story: My Roanoke Nightmare continues its awesome sixth season tonight with its seventh episode, “Chapter 7”! The sixth season of the FX horror anthology television series American Horror Story premiered on September 14, 2016, the first time the series has debuted outside of October in its history.  Up until the season premiere, little was known about the season’s theme. At one point, creator Ryan Murphy said the season will be “more rogue” and “dark,” in contrast to the previous season, Hotel. The premiere episode revealed the season to be depicted as a paranormal documentary entitled My Roanoke Nightmare, which reenacts the experiences of a married couple who relocates to Roanoke Island, North Carolina. The season 6 finale is scheduled to air on November 16, 2016, with the seventh season already scheduled for next year.

Presented as a paranormal documentary series titled My Roanoke Nightmare, the story follows a married couple whose experiences are reenacted by actors. Shelby and Matt Miller move from Los Angeles, California to a house in Roanoke Island, North Carolina following a brutal assault which left Matt temporarily hospitalized and caused Shelby to have a miscarriage. As soon as the couple settles into their new home, strange and paranormal occurrences begin to haunt them. After episode 6, we now know American Horror Story: Roanoke is a show within a show. We’re also watching the sequel to the horror show that basically plays like a reality show.

American Horror Story Season 6, Chapter 7 Promo

Two years after dazzling the gaming world with its fresh take on mech combat with Titanfall, Respawn Entertainment is back with an even more impressive shooter that makes the original seem like little more than a warmup to the main event. Armed with a full-figured single-player campaign in addition to the deep, engrossing multiplayer established in the original, Titanfall 2 comes out with guns blazing, determined to jostle with the likes of Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare for the hearts and minds of online shooter mavens.

Game: Titanfall 2
Consoles: Xbox One (reviewed), PS4, PC
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Developer: Respawn Entertainment
Release Date: October 28

While visually indistinguishable from the gorgeous, Xbox One-focused original, gameplay has advanced in many ways. Taking a cue from the hunter/prey feel of the recent Call of Duty games, online play rewards aggression and punishes indecision. You, your allies and enemies lock horns in an all-out sprint to snap up the best weapon and ammo drops, which help you land more kills and assists and allow you to gain the advantage when it comes time to take the helm of a titan and unleash devastating attacks that tilt the field in your favor. While it’s just as exhilarating as ever to stomp around as a titan, Respawn took strides to make it more exciting and rewarding to play as a pilot. Hone your skills properly, and you can be just as deadly scurrying around the war zone as an underpowered gunman with a jetpack and power suit, slipping your way through gaps to elude and surprise your vastly larger rivals. A revamped progression system gives you ample reason to log back in for a few rounds day after day.

The campaign focuses on Jack Cooper, a farmboy militia member who gets a chance to be a pilot and join the war effort. Through his wide eyes, you experience the majesty and wonder of completing your first wall sprints, double jumps, power slides and gauntlet runs, only to be thrown prematurely into battle and summon and enter a titan, exerting your will on the battlefield. Far more than a glorified tutorial, there are some interesting twists and must-see set pieces that make it a necessity to run through the campaign before you take to the multiplayer arena. While the single-player experience is too thin to stand on its own, it’s a vast improvement from the throwaway training missions the first game gave us, and makes Titanfall 2 feel like more of a full experience.

The most convincing reason to buy Titanfall 2 now rather than wait a few months for a game of the year edition is the promise that all post-release maps, weapons and game modes will be free. Sure, you can open up your digital wallet to cough up microtransactions for cosmetic items, but there is no pay-to-win path in sight. Even better, there will be no maps walled off to those with season passes or $15 to spring for new map packs. This focus on keeping the community cohesive and engaged will be a titan-sized weapon in the game’s battle with its rivals.

Titanfall 2 won’t shock you with its experience. If you spent some time with the original, you have a good idea of what to expect with the sequel. By sticking confidently to its proven formula, while adding in crowd-pleasing adjustments and tossing in a campaign that does wonders for fleshing out the lore surrounding the mayhem in the online arena, this game does exactly what a follow-up to a beloved original should do. Its lumbering giant vs. agile weakling dynamic keeps things fresh and unpredictable even after plugging away for hours. Although the imbalance makes the translation to e-sports weak, the potential for comedy in Twitch and YouTube videos more than makes up for that lacking. Every time you suit up, you feel as though you’re about to enter an action movie of your creation. That’s a sign of the Titanfall franchise’s continued rise.

The Philadelphia 76ers are back, baby! I mean they still lost and I still hate them because I’m strictly a #KnicksTape guy, but the NBA is better when crappy 76ers fans are at the game acting like the Philly fans we expect to see.

Take, for example, this old fat dude with the chubbiest, shortest middle fingers giving Westbrook the business after an and-1. Honestly, the game was fun to watch because Embiid aka “The Process” is a beast, Westbrook plays at a level unattainable by mortal humans, and it came down to a tight fourth quarter. But of all the highlights, watching this 76ers fan tell Westbrook how he feels was my favorite moment of the game.

It’s kind of surprising that Westbrook went to the referee to complain, though, no? Like that’s kind of a b*tch move. The fan was ejected from the game.

Gotta love the American justice system, where when you show up drunk to a job where you are entrusted with children, you can win a year’s salary in a lawsuit. Because that’s exactly what happened up is Wisconsin.

Janesville, Wisconsin city leaders have voted to offer a $75,000 settlement to a former teacher who was taken to the hospital and found to be drunk while on a school field trip in 2013.

According to WKOW, the town’s city council met Monday night and voted on a recommendation from the city attorney to pay Maria Caya to settle a $5.5 million lawsuit her attorney filed in 2015, claiming the city mishandled the investigation into the incident and caused undue harm. Six of seven council members were present at the meeting and all but one voted to approve the recommendation.

Caya’s lawsuit claims the Janesville Police Department improperly released blood test results, saying it was confidential medical information. She was taken to the hospital by another staff member, after she was found passed out in the bathroom of a bowling alley on the field trip in June 2013.

Yup, you read that correctly: the teacher who endangered the lives of her students felt that she was caused undue harm and sued for a cool $5.5 million. What a f*cking world we live in.

Sophia Phalen, the girlfriend of the Cleveland Indians’ Mike Napoli, is probably one of the greatest catches in baseball or even professional sports. The beautiful blonde is a student of Belmont University and a dimepiece extraordinaire. Also, she apparently loves to read, so that’s pretty intimidating for me because I’m sure that she’s going to read this article. All the literate chicks love us.

Sophia has been a constant fan of Napoli’s since they started dating however long ago it was. Previously Sophia had been linked to Mets utility player Danny Muno, but now she’s potentially with a World Series winner–which pains me to say as a Mets fan.

Anyways, check out her hottest photos in the gallery below.

Today Apple will unveil a bunch of new technology in their October 2016 Event being called “Hello Again.” The most influential computing company in the world is expected to launch new and update MacBook Pros, and possibly some new powerful PCs. There have been a ton of rumors about what will be announced tomorrow, including what seem to be actual leaks from the new MacBook Pros showcasing a new Touch ID button and touchscreen LED strip above the actual keyboard.

We’ve been duped before when guessing at what Apple has in store, but rest assured that as soon as Apple make any announcements about any new products we’ll update this post with all the information we have.

The newest information will be at the bottom of the post. We’ll be refreshing this article regularly.

The Event’s Started~

Tim Cook talking about the photos taken with the iPhone 7, and the positive reaction they’ve had with “Memories” feature.

“This is the best camera, the best photo experience and the best iPhone ever.”

One person on Twitter claims that Apple has new iMacs covered up and hidden on stage.

Apple Pay kicked off in Japan this week, big news for people overseas. Contactless pay is pretty great if you can use it.

“In just over a month, over 60% of our customers are already using iOS 10” -Tim Cook

We interrupt this live blog update to go back to the covered iMacs. Stay tuned to this:

Now Twitter onstage using the demo computers, discussing the live integration with Apple TV. Makes watching sports more inclusive. Makes watching the demo stage less interesting…

Announcement of new app simply called “TV.”

“It will completely change how you watch TV, along with your iPhone and iPad.”

Big news.

Essentially, this just looks like a combination of your TV shows and movies.

Not a subscription service. Womp womp.

“It’s going to completely change how we watch televsion.” Umm I don’t think so. It’s just unifying all the apps in one place. Nice, but not something to brag about.

This presenter is making college football seem boring. How is that possible?

Hopefully done with Apple TV.

WE’RE ON TO MACS!

13″ and 14″ gray and smoke color. That smoke is unreal, yo.

Digital Escape Key

Force Touch Trackpad

Touch Bar. That’s what that thing you were going to love is called. Touch Bar is retina display. It’s application specific, meaning that it will change depending on what app you’re using.

It looks awesome.

TouchID is also present on Touch Bar. Helps you buy stuff easy.

Now learning that the hidden screen was actually four different MacBook Pros lined to fool us. Those dogs! Check the bottom right.

Moving through Safari tabs via the Touch Bar looks pretty cool, tbh.

On to the Display talk of the day.

And the insides:

Intel Core i7 | Quad-core 2133MHz memory

Radeon Pro | 14 nm GPU | Polaris architecture | Up to 4B VRAM | Up to 2.3x faster

Superfast SSD | Up to 3.1 GB/s | Up to 2TB | Up to 50% faster

There are Four Thunderbolt 3 ports on both of the models. You can use any of them for power, display, hdmi or whatever you want. This is really interesting.

The breakaway magnetic charger is gone, though, folks. RIP.

I’ve easily watched this commercial at least 10 times. It’s enthralling. It looks like it was cut together by a 13-year-old video editor. I could watch Trump say “Ab Ki Baar” and “I love the Hindus” all day long. If I’m a Hindi Trump supporter, I’m going out a day early to vote for him after seeing this video. I’m putting all my chips in Trump’s corner. I mean, he OBVIOUSLY has their backs.

Okay, so I didn’t bring my A-Game last week going 2-3, but I hit my Lock of the Week (big ups to you Ohio U), so if you were smart and just bet the house on that, you probably came out on top. Now do I feel great about the slate of games this Saturday? Not really, but I’m not going to win any money by sitting on the sidelines and not gambling like some coward who has zero self-respect. So let’s shake off that losing record from last week, pick ourselves up, and win some money with these picks:

Baylor -3.5 @ Texas

Getty Images

Last week I picked Texas because I said Charlie Strong got a bad rap, and Texas wasn’t that bad of a team. Yeah, turns out they suck, and Baylor is really good. Baylor can roll out of bed and score 50 points on anyone, and I don’t expect this to be any different, even on the road, because the Longhorn defense is hilariously awful.

Purdue +13.5 vs. Penn State

Getty Images

This one is probably one of my dumber picks because Purdue sucks, like a lot, so feel free to bet against me on this one, but at least hear me out first. Penn State is coming off their biggest win in years knocking off Ohio State last week, and are definitely no joke, but I could see this being a let down game for them. I’m not saying that they’re going to lose, but Purdue could make it interesting at home. Plus 97.3% of Penn State fans are the most insufferable douchebags on the planet, so they don’t deserve nice things.

Nebraska +9.5 @ Wisconsin

Getty Images

This line seems like a total slap in the face to Nebraska. Yeah, they don’t have a marquee win so far in the season, but they’re still undefeated nonetheless. Wisconsin is one of the tougher places to play in the country, and they very well could win this game, but I think it will at least be close. So don’t let me down, Nebraska, or else I’ll make fun of you and call you a bunch of weird hillbillies or something.

Michigan State +24.5 vs Michigan

Getty Images

We continue betting on Big Ten underdogs this week, and we’re rolling with Sparty baby. Listen, I know that Michigan is an absolute juggernaut, and they definitely want revenge from last year’s game, but something about this game makes me think that Michigan State may make this one interesting. I’m well aware that this Michigan State team is nowhere near as good as the teams they’ve had the past few years, they actually suck, if we’re being honest, but this is their biggest rival and I think they’re going to get up for this game and make it a good one.

Utah +9.5 vs Washington: Lock of the Week

Getty Images

Another line that I think is somewhat odd, but I guess that’s why Vegas makes billions each year and I don’t. Washington has been flat out awesome this year, running through teams left and right, but the Utes are no slouches by any mean. They’re 7-1 on the year with their only loss being to Cal, not to mention they are undefeated at home. So call me crazy, call me a moron, but I’m not only picking Utah to cover the spread, I’m picking them to win the game. Lock of the Week, let’s freaking do this.

If you were ever going to go against my picks (which should usually be always) I wouldn’t blame you if this was the week you did it, but I’m fairly confident we’ll be going into next week with our winning record back in tact.

Record on the Year (started in Week 7): 5-5

Locks of the Week: 1-1

Ohio University has to be one of the most underrated schools in the nation. Not only do they host the largest college music festival in the country, their teachers and staff seem to be onboard with students skipping class, as long as they go to World Series Cleveland Indians games.

On Tuesday night, Ohio University student Charles was faced with a bit of a trouble. He had tickets to the Cleveland Indians Game 1 at Progressive Field but didn’t want to miss class. Obviously, he was always going to go to the game, but those of you who actually showed up to class are aware that attendance is a big deal come time for final grades. So he came up with a solid plan.

Do the homework, go to class, sign in, hand in homework to your boy, leave class, watch the Indians win.

Great idea, right? Except that this teacher noticed his absence at the end of class. He got this email from his professor, Damian Nance.

Busted, right? Might as well admit what you’ve done and live the consequences. So that’s exactly what Charles did. He told the truth.

Except, Charles goes to Ohio University where people seem pretty chill. Here’s the response from his professor.

Earlier this week a video from the World Series of Poker went viral when Griffin Benger called out fellow player William Kassouf for being a general pain in the ass/bully/abusive. It’s an overall corny video, but if there’s one thing that everyone can agree on, it’s that the Kassouf dude is one of the most annoying people the internet has ever introduced us to.

I mean, good lord, this guy has one of the most punchable faces I’ve ever seen. Just look at the guy sitting next to him. Even he’s thinking, “God, please strike this guy down right here.”

Anyway, the internet has now dug up other videos of Kassouf being a disrespectful prick and it’s only making everyone hate him more. I honestly feel bad for the guy because he strikes me as a legitimate virgin who blames everyone else for his own sexual incompetence and takes it out on the world by being a complete, unwarranted dick.

Sevyn Streeter, a native Philadelphia singer-songwriter, was supposed to celebrate the return of the NBA season by singing the national anthem at the first Philadelphia 76ers game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. But when she showed up in a black jersey that read “We Matter,” the 76ers organization told her she could no longer sing in front of the crowd.

Streeter claims that this bogus for a number of reasons. First, because the NBA just launched a “Together” campaign that advocated for racial equality and togetherness. Second, because she was never asked for a wardrobe check or anything of the sort ahead of time. Third, because she was never given a dress code or anything of the sort.

The 76ers gave this official response to USA Today Sports:

“The Philadelphia 76ers organization encourages meaningful actions to drive social change. We use our games to bring people together, to build trust and to strengthen our communities. As we move from symbolic gestures to action, we will continue to leverage our platform to positively impact our community.”

Here’s a photo of Sevyn Streeter in her outfit. Honestly, we can’t see the issue here.

If you’re single and haven’t decided on a Halloween costume yet, you’re in luck because a new study shows which superheroes women want to see the most. And by “see,” we mean “have sex with.” You want to know who found out that information? A little website called known to some as PHub. Because of their endless amounts of data they can get from searches, they got the inside scoop on what women want to see.

According to their numbers (which are based on the “most popular/most searched cosplay” searches), PHub discovered the ten most popular costumes that women were checking out.

If I’ve said it once (I have), I’ve said it a thousand times (I have not): Brazil is basically Mars at this point. I picture it as the Wild Wild West only in 2016. I once watched this documentary about a jail in Brazil and it was essentially just a community that had walls around it.

Anyway, as you can imagine, the prisons in Brazil’s are a dog eat dog world. Via The Daily Mail:

Anonymous statements from former prisoners have been collected by Brazilian media outletGlobo, and they gave a shocking insight into the lives of the inmates.

One said: ‘When does this finish? When the first man faints.’

Another added: ‘The fights take place every day. There is training to prepare for a fight and specific days are marked in the calendar for tournaments.’

An anonymous guard told journalists: ‘As time goes by, prisoners are more and more armed. Guards don’t go into some sectors because of those guns.’

Prosecutor Marcelo Ugiette said: ‘This is an example of what should never happen.’

He added: ‘More than 50 percent of inmates are waiting for their trials.’

The facility was designed for less than 2,000 prisoners and it currently holds 7,000.

If I ever get popped for something in Brazil, I’m just going to ask for the death penalty out right. Your boy would not be able to handle this.

The NFL has not been kind to me, both as a gambler and as a fan. From a fan’s point of view, the NFL has sucked this year and hasn’t been fun to watch, and from gambler’s point of view, it sucks because I haven’t been doing so well, but that changes this week (I hope). I went 2-3 with my picks last week which is never what you want, but I hit my Lock of the Week, which I said was my Lock of the Year, in Seattle, so it was a nice way to end the week. Six teams are on a bye this week so there aren’t too many games to choose from, but I’m going to make the best of what has been given to me.

Connor’s Week 8 Picks

Bengals -3 vs Redskins

We’re going across the pond with our first game this week and I’m riding with the Bengals. All of these London games suck and are never fun to watch, but as a gambler it’s nice to start off your day of gambling with some 9:00 A.M. football. I picked the Redskins last week and it looked like a win, but they choked like the gutless cowards they are, so because of that, I’m going with Cincinnati. Andy Dalton also took my Fantasy Football team to a championship once (we lost) so I’ve always had a soft spot for him. Who Dey!

Patriots -6.5 @ Bills

I know it’s a lot of points to swallow, especially on the road, but the Patriots have been on a tear since Brady has been back; plus they’re 6-1 against the spread this year. I also take into account the revenge factor for this game, because Buffalo gave them their only loss of the season, a shut out at home no less, so I think the Pats are going to come out and open up a can of whoop-ass in Orchard Park on Sunday.

Panthers -2.5 vs Cardinals

There’s no way that Carolina can lose five in a row (yes, there is you idiot), I refuse to believe it. Talk about a letdown of a season for both of these two teams. Last year they’re in the NFC title game, and now they’re probably going to both miss the playoffs. The last two times I bet on the Panthers they lost, so third time has to be a charm, and I also like that they’re at home.

Cowboys -4 vs Eagles

Both of these teams can kiss my ass and I hate them both, so all I’ll say about this game is that I think Dallas is the better team and that they’ll take care of business at home… and if I’m wrong it hopefully means I get to see them lose. Screw this game.

Seahawks -2.5 @ Saints: Lock of the Week

That’s right, I’m making Seattle my Lock of the Week for a second straight week, and I couldn’t feel better about it. The Seahawks are one of the few teams in the league that I think has a legitimate shot at winning the Super Bowl and the Saints kind of suck. Russell Wilson silenced all of his haters earlier this week by proving that he and his wife Ciara do in fact have sex and just announced they have a child on the way. The man is on cloud nine right now, and I expect that to translate to the football field with Wilson having a good game on Sunday. Proud of you Russell, now go win me some money.

The NFL hasn’t been kind to me this year, but this is the week where I turn this sinking ship around and start pulling winners out of my ass…and if not well then there’s always next week. LET’S GO.

Record (started in Week 6): 4-5-1

Locks of the Week: 1-1

Eric’s Week 8 Picks

Okay COED, you’re boy Ital is hoping in the picks this week. I don’t start betting on the NFL until week 6, and have been too busy the last two weeks to hop in the picks post. But here I am now. And I have to admit I’ve gotten off to a pretty good start this year coming it at 5-2. Not gonna count those going forward, just giving you a little backround. I haven’t logged my picks for the site, so you’re just going to have to take my word for it.

New England Patriots -6.5 @ Buffalo Bills

See: Connor (The line’s at 7 now, but either way)

Oakland Raiders +1.5 @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

I have won a lot of money on the Raiders this season, who are 5-2 by the way, yet Vegas still continues to slight them. I COULD not believe my eyes last week when I saw they were 2.5 point dogs at the Jags. Had I been writing about my picks last week, they would have been my lock. They would be my lock this week if I wasn’t so sure about another game. Anyway, the Raiders look like a legitimate 5-2 while the Bucs look like a shaky 3-3. While the Bucs scare me with their ability to pop up at home and beat anybody, especially a West Coast team, I have to take the Raiders to cover in this one. The Raiders have division championship aspirations, and if they want to make good on that, they have to be able to beat a sloppy team like the Buccaneers. The Raiders are an easy pick for me.

New York Jets -3 @ Cleveland Browns

I’m a noted Jets fan, so betting on my boys always makes me nervous. However, it paid off for me last week when I took the Jets to cover against the Ravens. Yes, that game was at home but you have to figure the Ravens are better than the Browns. The Jets may be 2-5, and Fitz has thrown 11 picks, but the Jets opened with what may have been the toughest opening schedule, and 6 of Fitz’s 11 picks came in one game. Even with Josh McCown probably returning to the lineup this week, I like the Jets momentum enough to have them beating the Browns by at least a touchdown.

Lock of the Week: Detriot Lions +2.5 @ Houston Texans

Another layup if you ask me folks. When you watch the Texans play, even in wins, it looks in spite of themselves. The Lions on the other hand are on a 3 game winning streak, riding one of the hottest quarterbacks in the league, Matthew Stafford. As the old cliche goes, the NFL is a quarterback-driven league, and the Lions have one of the best going, while the Texans have one of the worst. Look for the Lions to beat the Texans in their own building.
