Now we’ ll see who knows best.
My 7-year old daughter already beat myself in picking Mountain West Conference basketball games against the spread, but I was able to earn a press against the family dog.
Now, it’ s time to face off against the real boss of the home.
But little will she know the roll I am on nfl jersey, having climbed from 14 games under. 500 to just six below. Let’ s see who has the last laugh now.
(Even though I know it will probably be her).

WYOMING (minus-2. 5) from AIR FORCE : The wife’ s take: “ Cowboys towards military men. No question. I like Cowboys better. ” Don’ capital t believe her? We have a boy named after Brad Pitt’ t character in “ Legends of the Fall. ” Or maybe she simply likes Brad Pitt …
