Mysterio's Tuesday Two

In 1988, Morrissey crooned the histrionic reminder that "every day is like Tuesday." Never have such fictional lyrics been truer than today. The winter holidays tend to divert us all from routine and towards our family gatherings and obligations - even in Canada. With Christmas and Boxing Day behind us, however, Mysterio is back at TSZ and ready to build on the perfection that has been his Tuesday Two.

LAST WEEK: 2-0 ATS

SEASON TO DATE: 4-0 ATS

Translation: Nailed it. For those of you who followed his lead, you should have quintupled your money. Even if you didn't bet that much, it's really fun to say quintupled. Before we get to Mysterio's weekly work of art, let's welcome those who have joined our community through Friday Five inquiry.

TSZ Weloming Committee: We proudly announce the arrival of Lowen A., Micahel M., Jeff W., Andrew G., and Stan J. Gentlemen, you've come at good time. We fully intend to finish the season strong and carry our community into a playoff run for the ages. If you want to know how to access our Friday Five, click on the link below:

And now, drum roll please...

Mysterio's Tuesday Two

It's been an insanely busy holidays so I'm going to keep this short. In the history of Mysterios' Tuesday 2 we are now 4-0. Whether the games mean nothing or if they are very important, I always take the 2 games that I think are locks and post them for our guaranteed monetary gain. Last week Atlanta covered on Saturday and the biggest baby in the NFL (Cam Newton) covered on Sunday. Big wins for me and my other follower Gabby. Gabby wasn't pleased with the 2 different days my picks were on so this is for you Gabby. 2 picks, both on Sunday.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS -10 vs. St Louis Rams

                      

The Seahawks can win games now by just showing up! Having blown out their last 3 opponents I look for this 1 to be over by half time. A 10 point spread might as well be 27 because this game will be a blowout!

P.S. Matt Flynn may fill in but he is a VERY capable backup! P.S.S. Watch for Sherman to be handing out "Skittles" on the sideline. Seahawks by 28!

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS -10.5 vs. Miami Dolphins

Believe it or not, New England still has home field to play for. Watch for Billy B. to have a game plan in which not only will Brady pass for 440 yards but New England will dominate every facet of the game. Miami will play hard for Regis (Joe) Philbin but it won't do any good against a team that needs to step it up and get rolling for the playoffs. New England by 20!

                                   

Sorry to keep it so short TSZ faithful but being a single Dad on the holidays is more work than on normal days.

If Vincenzo and Spartacus going 5-0 last week doesn't  get ALL your friends to join TSZ I don't know what does.

Roger that Houston and a big 10-4 to all your bets this week!

MAY THE SPREADS BE WITH US!!!!

Friday Five: The Grand Finale

FRIDAY FIVE LAST WEEK: 5-0 ATS - Yes, we nailed it again.

FRIDAY FIVE SEASON TO DATE: 32-19 ATS 

Sadly, the last week of the NFL regular season is upon us. The good news is that last year - and a big part of the reason we started TSZ in the first place - Marco and I went 11-2 ATS in the 2011-12 playoffs and took home our pool's grand prize. 

Once again, much like the 2007/2011 New York Giants, we're finishing strong here at The Spread Zone with back-to-back 10-6 ATS weeks and an improbable 5-0 ATS last week on our Friday Five confidence picks. As you know, followers and frequent readers always get our Friday Fives for free, and a few of you wrote to us about the success you had last week with our Friday picks. Congratulations and thank you for letting us know. It always feels good to help people beat the system. 

Last week we sent our followers a terrific resource at www.vegasinsider.com, which includes power rankings of how NFL teams have done ATS over the course of the season. Using those rankings, which according to their author become more accurate with each passing week, we made a list of the top ten teams with the greatest ranking differential against their opponents. Marco and I then chose which five had the best chance of winning/covering, and the results were outstanding. 

Here's how to get this week's Friday Five

                            

Step 1: Send us an e-mail to vinnyandmarco@gmail.com letting us know that you'd like to see what we've got. No investment except a little bit of time. 

Step 2: If we go 3-2 ATS this week, we'll call it a push. We have your e-mail and will continue to send you our Friday Five for the rest of the season. If, however, we go 4-1 ATS then - relying of course on the highly honorable code of universal gamblers - you come back to The Spread Zone, hit the donate button, and buy us a cup of coffee on Monday. If, and there's a great chance this is going to happen this weekend, we nail 5-0 ATS, then said coffee becomes a Trente Quadruple Vanilla Soy Mocha with Sprinkles. We're still waiting on a couple of promises from last week, but we know you're good for it.

If you don't pay up, however, then you must pledge your undying loyalty to TSZ and Spread the word about The Zone to everyone you know.

Now doesn't that sound way more exciting than just buying us coffee? And in only two steps. You can't beat that. To summarize - send us an e-mail and we'll send you picks. What happens after that, of course, is entirely up to you.

What's at stake for us? Good question. Only our highly suspect reputation - that's what.

Take a chance and become a part of the fastest growing community of supportive, loving, degenerate gamblers on the Internet.

You won't be disappointed.

Vinny and Marco
