4th Annual Weenie Dog Football Challenge!

Being that this is the day that both Roscoe and Blackjack were born...I figured it would be apropritate to start this thread, in preparation for the upcoming football season!

Happy Birthday weenie dogs!


Ahhhh yesssss...it is that time of the year. Time for football season to start. The opening game is not too far away, and that means its time to bring back the Blackjack vs Roscoe weenie dog football challengs!

Last year was the 3rd season for this hot dog challenge and most already know that Roscoe won this contest in a land slide, for the 2nd year in a row! Blackjack really never had a chance! Roscoe ended up taking the grand prize of a package chockfull of delicious gourmet cookie bones!


Up for grabs again this year, at the end of the season is a container chockfull of gourmet cookie bones, to be provided by the losing dogs owner and shipped to the winning dogs home!! Also up for grabs is the weenie dog cup, pictured here. heh heh




All of you lucky LVA friends, dog lovers, football fans and gambling junkies are in for a treat.

Every week Blackjack and Roscoe will post ONE NFL pick, with the games corresponding spread. We will keep track of win/loss totals as each week progresses. The pooch with the highest win total, at the end of the season, will be receiving the gourmet cookie bone basket as his grand prize.

Here is where you LVA folks come in to play….since both puls will be trying their hardest to get them paws on that Cookie bone basket, you can bet your ass that they are going to provide nothing but the best, and most sold winning picks every week.

You can take any one of their picks, or both of them, and go to the sports book and bet them yourself, so you can clean up some BIG BUCKS too!

This thread will be used exclusively for Roscoe and Blackjack’s picks ONLY.

If you have your own pick, please start your own thread and tell us about it over there.

Feel free to comment on what your opinion is, on either of their picks, and by all means root for the pup that’s in the lead at any given time. They love receiving props for being good little weenies!

Spreads will be taken using the line at the Las Vegas Hilton, and taken from this web site. Vegas Odds

To allow for all our friends to take advantage of our information, and avoid confusing money line changes, the official weekly challenge picks must be submitted by Blackjack and Roscoe by 4PM PST on that NFL weekends Friday.

Of course if one of their picks happen to be on a Thursday night game, that pick must be in before kick off time.


Lets all make some MAJOR DOLLARS, from their picks THIS YEAR!! Both pooches were right at or above 50% winning records last year. Thats pretty damn good!

The receipts say "Congratulations from Blackjack" and "Our gift to Roscoe"



Here is Roscoe, checking out the treats, and deciding which one to eat first

Selecting the weekly winning weener last year I generally wound up on the wrong side of the sheet.

But then again where have we seen this before ?

Just remember. Sometimes you can bet opposite of the weenies when they are on losing streaks, and clean up.

Hey Roscoe

I'd steer clear of those twisted ones, otherwise everything else looks yummy for a pooch.

Whatever happened to Blade ? I know he was a huge fan of your pups Rizzo.

I still think that Kiki is the brains and brilliance behind Roscoe's picks. Kiki gets no respect.
I am going to win me some cookie bones this year!

I will gate out of the gate quickly with my "bone-a-fide" lock of the week. I am going with the Cleveland Browns to drop-kick the Cincinnati Bengals back home to Hamilton County. The Browns won't be highly competitive in a division that includes Baltimore and Pittsburgh. But they are plenty better than the 6 1/2 points they have to spot to Cincy. The Bengals are starting Andy Dalton at QB?? They might as well line up Andy Griffith behind center. Cleveland defensive coordinator Dick Jauron will have plenty of tricks up his sleeve and the Dawg Pound will be especially vocal, spoiling the starting debut of Dalton.

Cleveland to win by more than 6 1/2 points. You can bank on it.

OK, Roscoe, what do you have?
