6th Annual Weenie Dog Football Challenge

Being that this is the week that both Roscoe and Blackjack were born...I figured it would be appropriate 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 challenge!

Last year was the 5th season for this hot dog challenge and most already know that Roscoe won this contest in a land slide, for the 4th 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 pups 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.

If you live in Vegas, or find yourself on vacation in Vegas, make sure you check on the Weenie Dog picks and see what they have cooking that weekend!

You can take any one of their picks, or both of them, and go to the sports book to 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.


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 at least an hour before kick off time.

Lets all make some MAJOR DOLLARS, from their picks THIS YEAR!!

Roscoe had a nice record of 10-7 last year, while Blackjack finished with a record of 6-11

Both pooches had solid seasons, and there was money to be made.


Good luck and good betting this year! $$$$

I am ready!

Happy birthday today, brother Roscoe! I celebrated the occasion by gnawing on a big NY steak bone last night. Woof!

It's time to return the doggy cookies to Arizona. I admit I had a bad year last year -- my worst in the five-year competition. But basically Roscoe has been earning the treats with stellar picks. The year before I started 9-4 against the spread and Roscoe still caught me at the wire.

But it's my turn in 2013. Start window shopping for dog treats, Roscoe.
Good luck you two. We look forward to another exciting season.

One "5 Peat" is enough in my lifetime.

I'm rooting for BlackjackPooch this year. (don't drop any large turds this time)

Everyone loves a winner....and I am the 4 time champ of this contest!

The number one, football, handicapping weenie dog, in the world!

I am ready to add another championship to my trophy wall!

Bring it on brother Blackjack! I am READY for ya!

Announcing the first weenie pick if 2013!

I am taking the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and spotting the New York Jets 3 points. I was considering this game all week and the announcement that Geno Smith, a rookie second-round draft pick who had an undistinguished preseason when he was healthy, will start over injured Mark Sanchez, pushed me over the top. For sure, Geno Smith might be an improvement over the mediocre Sanchez long term, but we are talking about the here and now.

This is the Year of Blackjack! Y'all climb aboard the Blackjack band wagon while there is still room!

Sounds like a winner for Blackjack, unless Rex Ryan has been purposely sandbagging.
Go Blackjack!!!
Yessss! Its time for my first NFL pick of the week for the 2013-14 football season! WOOO HOOO!

Time to start administering some HURT, to my old brother BlackJack!

This week, my top 5 puppy pick is the St Louis Rams minus 4.5 over the Arizona Cardinals!

Both teams are much improved over last year, but the Rams by far made the better acquisitions. The Cardinals picked up the shitty Raiders left over junk quarter back Carson Palmer.

The RAMS QB, Sam Bradford has a new beefed up offensive line this year and will have plenty of time to find his key wide receivers for those huge scoring plays!

Its going to be a blow out! RAMS win big this weekend! Take that to the bank my friends!

Good luck to all of you making these weenie wagers. See you at the ticket window!
