Pepper McSausage Picks

I’m feeling a heaviness today. Not sure if it’s because I’m a terrible gambler or what. Kelly Oubre was, and perhaps still is, inevitable. He made it 8 straight games of 17+ points last night, and is just about as consistent as they come right now. Consistency is not something you see much gambling. Consistency isn’t something I see much myself in general. I’ll admit, I’m a bit flummoxed today. Usually I can sit within myself and find things to associate my feelings with (even if they’re wrong or misguided, I’m great at coming up with all the possibilities my feelings can mean).

However, today, I’m coming up with nothing. I feel a bit of heaviness on my chest and a lot of heaviness atop my shoulders. I feel a bit soulless inside. An emptiness in my heart and mind. Usually my thoughts come rapid fire, like a flood of customers, but today, it’s like I’m an open Chick-Fil-A on a Sunday without any marketing. People are conditioned to not come in today, and the few I do get feel accidental or lucky. For better or worse, I feel present. That’s not something I feel normally. I’m always hyperfixated on recontextualizing the past or planning/worrying about something in the future. It feels kind of nice to not be thinking I suppose, but I wish it came in a more comfortable default state of existence. I guess I need to make a pick today, so I’m gonna throw shit at the wall and see what happens.

Today’s pick: 🚨PARLAY🚨 KELLY OUBRE UNDER 15.5 POINTS & KEENAN ALLEN 1+ TOUCHDOWN

Sometimes with my bets I find that I’m not wrong, I’m just early. We’ll see if that’s the case with Oubre today. Admittedly, he’s in a much “better” spot to hit his over today with Embiid likely out on the second leg of a B2B, yet his line barely moved up. Very interesting. Everything that applied to my logic (if there even was some) betting against him yesterday, still applies today. As for Keenan, he feels due. He’s been mediocre the last couple weeks and seems like the perfect player that the old ass Steelers defense should be able to handle, but Keenan’s old ass isn’t washed yet. He’ll find a little space at the goal-line to nestle on into and snag himself a nice little touchdown, even if that’s all he does…

Good luck, and I shall see y’all on the other side!

Pick record: 5-6 (no thank you Kelly)
