Another morning, another great hangover cure at The Divided Sky. I got to say it was a welcome feed considering it was the morning after the night before of Superbowl XXXVIII. 
All of us ended up at Harrah's Tahoe, where Matty had VIP room tickets for the game. Just because I had $5.00 floating around in my "sky rocket" ..... and just for shits & giggles, I decided to wager it on the New England "Patriots" to win, Tom Brady to be MVP and for the Patriots to win by 3.
Truth be told, I'd like to say that I was some kind of expert NFL tipster, but if the truth be told, the first two picks were no-brainers, it was all about the scoreline.
I figured that the Carolina Panthers had one of the best defences all season, hence the 3 point spread, and it was also offering the best odds.
My $5.00 parlay bet paid out $1175.25, so we were on the gas - big time.
