gap responsibilitySo I call up my bookie and ask him what the line is on the Packers-Niners game tomorrow at Lambeau Field.  The Packers are laying six and a half points?  We’re on Skype, making a video call, so he can see my face and is all “Dude?  Did you just give me your ‘O’ face?  ‘Cause if you did?  You need to find another bookie.”

Six and a half.  My, my.  I’ve heard that Vegas odds makers will intentionally open up the spread a little bit, lubricating the flow of money just to try to get some action inside that spread.  They want some young, foolhardy bucks to stick their head in there just a little bit and move it around, see how it feels. And if it feels good, they might go all the way in next time.

Hello, reader?  What were you just thinking?  Aw, dude!  DUDE!  You were totally thinking about sex when you should have been thinking about making money on football.  WTF is wrong with you, man?

Here’s the thing.  The key to the game.  Frank Gore is a short little fireplug, and so our defensive front has to make sure to maintain gap responsibility.  Gotta fill that gap.  No matter if the gap is big or small, you see a nice gap, you fill it.  Otherwise someone else fills that gap, and you know how it feels when someone else fills the gap you were supposed to fill.

Pbpbpbpb.  You’re doing it again, aren’t you.

Anyway.  Put your money on the Niners, who’ve played better than their 4-5 record.  The trifecta being that the Packers win but the Niners cover, so you get your money and your team wins.  And there’s my second “O” face in as many days, when I call my bookie to have him Paypal me the money.

What?  That’s not a trifecta, you say?  Did you not see the gap responsibility I was talking about earlier?  C’mon, man.  Get your head in the game.  Either that or stick it all the way into that gap.
