Against All Odds: Pittsburgh SportsNation's Vegas Picks
By Mike Drakulich, Pittsburgh SportsNation
Presenting PSN's Vegas Picks, a weekly feature matching wits between myself and my dad. I choose the games and make my picks for the week, and my dad (MJD) agrees or disagrees. Each week we include the local teams, Pitt, Penn State, WVU, and the Steelers unless they are not scheduled.
Week 2 of Bowl Season starts to heat up with four match-ups this week, and the Steelers look to keep their season alive with a victory vs the Bengals.
Like the Steelers, I continued my poor choices in picks, in contrast to MJD, aka my dad, who was the winner this week going 6-4.
Really, if it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all, as I watched three games slip through my fingers in the final minutes of their games.
Time to bounce back.
