9th Annual Weenie Dog Football Challenge

Happy Birthday to Roscoe and Blackjack. Both boys are nine years old today! Being that this is the day that both Roscoe and Blackjack were born...I figured it would be appropriate to start this thread, in preparation for the upcoming football season!


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 8th season for this hot dog challenge and most already know that Blackjack won this contest in a land slide! Blackjack 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 loaded up with 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, and through the play offs, 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 picked 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!!


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


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

9 years old. If that 7 for 1 rule is correct, then they are 63 in human years. Not elderly, but eligible to join AARP.
Does one dare take the Cowboys this season? They have four players who will be on suspension. Their starting quarterback almost had his season end last night. Their running back they took in the first round had his picture taken in a medical marijuana store in Washington.
Personally, I hope that Romo gets hurt, because that new back up QB is the real deal. I think he is exactly the kind of quarterback that the boys need.

The NFL season is about 72 hours away. Let's talk football!

I'm going after those cookie bones again and starting with this pick: Green Bay Packers minus-4 1/2 points over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags are much improved but won't be ready for Aaron Rodgers, the return of Jordy Nelson and a slimmed down Eddie Lacy. Take the Pack this Sunday.

Good luck, Roscoe!
It is time to kick this weenie dog football challenge off with a solid winner.

This week I am taking the Kansas City Chiefs minus 6.5 over the San Diego Chargers.

The Chiefs are really strong, at home, and they have a solid team this year. Chargers will continue struggling in the AFC west, and this game is easily won by 10 or more points.

Take that to the bank.

Good luck to those who are making these weenie wagers.

--Roscoe
Well they both lost, I am guessing that was probably as good as Wayne Root, and these picks came for free! Maybe next week, it is a long season. Good luck the remaining season.
I have a good animal friend named JAFCAT who is much better than these two weenies. I need to see if I can talk to him and convince him to bring his pics to this board.
Results from Weenie Dog Challenge Week #1.

Blackjack's pick was barely a loser as the Packers -4.5 only won by 4 points giving B-J a half point loss

Roscoe's Chiefs -6.5 pick was also barely a loser ad the Chiefs win in over time by 6 points giving Roscoe a half point loss.

****Standings after week #1 ****

1st place (tie) Roscoe and Blackjack with 0 wins and 1 loss


Better luck next week boys.

Wow a 1/2 point loss and a 1/2 point loss. That's as tough as getting within an inch of that pesky neighbor cat, Puss, before she gets a chance to scale the wall.

But that's OK. I am as likely to get a win as I am to bark at the postman this week.

I am taking the Chee-cago Bears minus-3 points against Don Diego's Philadelphia Pigeons. Philly is getting way too much credit for its demolishing of a crappy Cleveland Browns team. Now they hit the road to take on a Bears team that lost on the road to a tough Houston team. The spread opened at 1 point, but quickly moved to 3 points before I could get in on that action. Bears win on Monday night at Soldier Field!
