Vic’s picks
Construction plans are on hold for a Carson Palmer statue outside the sports books in Vegas. When he starts for the Arizona Cardinals the past two years, they are 10-3 against the spread.
But … last week the Cardinals were bet up from seven-point favorites to nine, so dopes like me — whose picks don’t appear until the Friday newspaper — were holding a losing nine-point ticket as Arizona won 26-18.
“Hey, that’s gambling.” That’s what dopes like me say when we lose five games by a combined 9.
