Stand Up Speak Up

Woohoo!



I just finished watching the Colts/Giants game and had a great time. I was reluctant in playing my first pro picks ticket of the year. Having already dropped $60 in a picks pool which got off to a horrible start today, I figured it couldn't get worse. My picks were as follows :

Peyton Manning to throw 24+ Receptions
Eli Manning to throw 20- Receptions
Tiki Barber to rush for 85+ yards
4 or more field goals in the game
Less than 5 sacks in the game

The sacks and Tiki were pretty much sealed right off of the bat. But it took until a minute in the 4th quarter to get the damn 4th field goal. Which was great, except the Giants were getting the ball and Eli needed 2 passes to kill my ticket. And as you've probably read in the title of the post, he obviously didn't.

I didn't realize I won until a few minutes later, waiting for Yahoo! Sports gamecast to confirm that Eli hadn't completed 21 passes. Which led to my obligatory
HUZZAH!

So now I've won my first sports betting ticket of the year. The cool $30 in my pocket will just have to be spent immediately. Any suggestions?
