My plan was to go back to the well with Emily Ratajkowski this week. The last two weeks, both devoted to her, have been great for my picks.
Then I was watching the Chicago Cubs play the Los Angeles Dodgers last night and saw Emily sitting in the stands.
She looked great, of course, but the team she was rooting for also got whipped, which made me reluctant about tying my gambling fortunes to her for a third straight week.
In a bit of a scramble this morning, I recalled retweeting a story about Paulina Gretzky on a stripper pole that I had never read. The story was pretty dumb, but it drew me to her Instagram page, which is truly a thing of beauty.
Here are my eight picks for week 7, with a whole lot of Paulina Gretzky:
Los Angeles Rams in London vs. New York Giants
Pick: Rams +3
Hanging out with cute animals in skimpy clothing is one of the best things a person can do, and Paulina does it regularly.
Baltimore Ravens AT New York Jets
Pick: Jets -2
She is also big on pools, which is good.
Minnesota Vikings AT Philadelphia Eagles
Pick: Vikings -3
Also she has great friends.
Cleveland Browns AT Cincinnati Bengals
Pick: Browns +10
She also has a great dog. Go Browns.
Washington Redskins AT Detroit Lions
Pick: Redskins +1.5
Back to those friends, though.
Buffalo Bills AT Miami Dolphins
Pick: Bills -3
Her husband Dustin Johnson, who won nearly $40 million playing golf, is a pretty lucky guy. And has by far the best caddy in the game.
Seattle Seahawks AT Arizona Cardinals
Pick: Cardinals -1.5
Her father, "The Great One," is of course a legend. Here are a bunch of his goals:
Houston Texans AT Denver Broncos
Pick: Texans +8.5
As we've shown here, his daughter is pretty great too.
