Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Best Bet Weekend.  From time to time I will drop by and spell-out the top five best bets in the sporting world for the upcoming weekend.  By the way, I have never bet on sports in my life so you can count on me.  I have the vocabulary of a 2nd grader so please don't make fun.  Intentional misspellings and poor grammar will be in italics. 

1. Army v Navy (-14) - Navy finishes the season on a 7 - 2 run with key wins over Notre Dame and Wake Forest.  Army closes out the season with big time wins over VMI and North Texas State A&M International University.  A classic match-up that the good folks down at the Mayfair Villiage Retirement Center can't wait to watch right after a smashing game of bingo.  Nobody cares as Navy easily covers this one.

2. Chargers @ Cowboys (-3) - The Chargers have put together a string of 7 straight wins because they are scoring an average of 28.5 points per game this season.  The Dallas offense is only putting up 23 and two bits and has been struggling as of late - not to mention Romo's December woes.  I like Miles Austin and Justin Witten, but the Bolts will be too much for them to handle.  Take the Chargers in this one and stay classy, San Diego.

3. Nets @ Pacers (-3.5) - I don't know anything about the NBA, but I do know that the Nets are putrid.  I also know that Reggie Miller may or may not still play for Indiana.  I also bought a Pacers t-shirt one time because I thought it looked cool and because it was on sale for $5.  Since then, I have cut out the sleeves and now mow my yard in said shirt.  For this reason alone, the Circle City boys will cover.

4. Brian Kelly Completes a Perfect Season in His College Carreer (75:1) - Coach Kelly put together a great season at Cincy capped by an unforgettible win against Pitt.  The Bearcats (who may or may not have got screwed by the BCS) will be putting their perfect season on the line against the heavily favored Gators without their head coach as he will be heading to South Bend.  Notre Dame is the Britney Spears of college football.  You used to really look forward to a boob slip but then the whole trailer trash thing happened and when the paparazzi finally catch a cooter shot and it makes you want to vomit.  Maybe that only makes sense to me.  Kelly never completes a perfect season in his college coaching career but may finally put together a respectible team with the Irish. 

5. Kiffin Goes to NCAA Prison at Guantanamo (2:1) - Let me say this.  Myself believe Lane are violating rules and nos it. What are you doing, Lane?  Are you even trying?  Don't you know what they do to coaches in NCAA Prison at Guantanamo?  They do very bad things, Lane.  Bad.  They make their inmates watch Glee 24 hours a day and all you have to eat there is potted meat.  I'm not saying this because I am still sour about the OT loss my boys took in Lexington, I am saying this because I am required by law to hate you as a Big Blue fan.  I'm betting the bank on this one.
