Pepper McSausage Picks

A pick a day until my mom comes back to life.

Today is my first day in weeks where I don’t have anything to do, no plans, nothing expected of me, no appearances to keep up or overthink, nothing. Just me, alone with myself. The peace and the silence is a bit unsettling; I don’t know what to do with it. It’s days like today where I beat myself over the head with negative self-talk. I generally feel like I’m not doing enough in life, and today’s the kind of day where I can really sit down and find all sorts of associations to tie that to, and catastrophize specific aspects of my life. And debate myself exhaustively in the thunderdome in my mind. It’s a woefully unnecessary exercise. It doesn’t advance the plot, doesn’t add any character detail, just derails hope and mental health progress. Like I love having plans and I love socializing within reason, but it drains me mentally and physically. I don’t want to fill my calendar with stuff to do, and yet when I don’t have anything to do, this is what happens. Why can’t I find comfort in nothing?? I love doing nothing and yet nothing can feel like an oven left on and unattended, could amount to nothing, could amount to catastrophe. And it’s all just in my head. So pointless.

Today’s Pick: DEMARIO DOUGLAS UNDER 16.5 RECEIVING YARDS

Man… what the f*** is this line? He’s gone over this in 8 straight games, averaging 50 receiving yards in his last 5. The over seems far too easy. It’s cold in Foxboro today, but there’s no wind or rain, so it’s just a brisk cold. Shouldn’t negatively impact offensive capabilities, and yet his line is JUST 16.5 YARDS. Yeah, that’s a definitive under for me my friend. Vegas is out there fishing for casuals and I’m just gonna swim right on past; there’s nothing to see here. Mind your business, enjoy the game or not, and cash after it’s all over.

Good luck everyone and I’ll see y’all on the other side!

Pick record: 16-16 (thank you lord for the back-to-back overtime games helping my team total overs hit lol)
