This will hopefully be the only time this season that I don't get the whole Dime out on Thursday. Had a few extra articles from work dropped on me this morning and am seeing the Stanley Cup(!) with my family early this evening.
So here is my pick for tonight. And, if you have any interest, a poker video and article on my good friend Jeff Platt, who made a deep run in the WSOP this summer and was on ESPN's coverage on Sunday!
The video is a must watch, even if you know nothing about poker. Fun, exciting, and my lumberjack playoff beard even gets some screen time!
I wrote an article on the whole experience as well. This won't be for everyone, but for the 4-5 of you that like my work, you might enjoy it! Maybe bookmark it for a rainy day.
Planning on getting the full Dime out tomorrow. Thanks for the patience!

* - Indicates Outright Upset Pick
THURSDAY
(?) Minnesota (+7.5) @ Green Bay (-7.5)
It's strange... nothing about this game suggests to me that it should be anything other than a double-digit win for the Packers. Sure, Minnesota won big against Atlanta last week, but on the road against Green Bay with an injured Teddy Bridgewater or Christian Ponder under center and no running game? What do the Packers have to be afraid of? And yet, I find myself heavily gravitating towards taking the points, but I wouldn't because I don't have any logical or emotional factors backing that decision. So I think I'd just stay away from the game entirely if I had the choice - but the Dime must go on regardless of how unappealing the matchup is! Brain trumps heart on this coin flip.
PICK WITH THE SPREAD: Green Bay
PICK WITHOUT THE SPREAD: Green Bay
Thanks for reading!
