The J-Dub Gambling Challenge 2018: Week 6 – The “Either/Or” Edition

This week finds us at the sixth of the Twelve Greatest Saturdays of the Year.  This also brings the 2018 J-Dub Gambling Challenge to a point at which we need to make some decisions based on what we’ve seen on the field. It’s a concept which doesn’t really require an elaborate set-up., so let’s get right to it.

Which is it? (understand that we will consider “both” to be a “chicken-shit” answer)

• Either Notre Dame doesn’t suck or Stanford is just another Pac-12 “hothouse flower.”
• Either Florida is the best team in the SEC outside of the “Big Four (Alabama, Auburn LSU, and Georgia), or the SEC outside of the “Big Four” is complete crap.
• Either Penn State is “over-rated” (as much as I hate that term)  or Ohio State is the best team in the country not named Alabama.
• Either Purdue might be the best 2-3 team in a “Power Five” conference, or Nebraska is the “traditional power” which has taken the biggest “fall from grace.”

As far as the bankroll is concerned, I’m finally off the skids.  Last week’s action saw a net profit of $375 for the week, which brings the season total to $4,768.  That’s not bad considering I started the season with four straight down weeks.

That brings us back to Week 6…the week we may find out either I know what I’m doing when it comes to gambling or I still slice faster than a crack-head working at the deli counter.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER (mandated by our very own Small Town Pizza Lawyer):

Thanks to the Supreme Court, gambling is no longer illegal at Bushwood, sir. However, the Supreme Court can’t really help me unless one of them is willing to keep Mrs. J-Dub from braining me with a cast-iron skillet if she found out how many dimes I’m dropping on college football. That means that as far as she knows, all wagers are mythical in nature and this is in no way, shape, or form a gambling advice column. In other words, if you lose your own “real” money, that’s nobody’s fault but yours, so don’t yell at me when we meet at the plasma center on Monday.
