Last week I didn't pick every game I was on vacation but did take Giants and Raiders. I win! Week 7 I was 8-5 best week yet.

Being born and raised in New York I have been a New York Giants fan my whole life but I didn't know anything about any other teams until I became an adult.

When I met my husband every Sunday was a football day... all day. I decided if I wanted to hang out with him and actually enjoy it I had to know more about all of the teams and not just the Giants.

I was a bartender at the time and would ask all of the big betters that I would take care of who their #1 pick of the week was, then I would put them all together and bet a 6pt 5-team parlay. (I didn't know what it was at first either) I did really well and learned so much about betting and football. It was a win-win (most weeks) I got to hang out with my husband during the football days and won a few bucks here and there.

Betting doesn't have to be scary and you don't have to put a ton of money down to win or just to get into games that you wouldn't otherwise get into.

They even make betting so easy now you can do it from your phone and you don't have to go to the sportsbook and get embarrassed when you have no idea what you're doing! I am not a degenerate I just love football and getting into all things football!

I bring to you Aimee's picks for week 4 of the NFL!

Week 1 * 8 - 7 - 1
Week 2 * 5 - 11
Week 3 * 6 - 10
Week 4 * 8 - 6 - 2
Week 5 * 8 - 7
Week 6 * 8 - 5 (bye weeks started but best week yet)
Week 7 * I Won! I just took the Giants and the Raiders!

DISCLAIMER: I think I'm pretty good (my record doesn't show my skills) at betting on football but please don't put your children's college fund on these picks.
