Thursday Night Football

Hey all you sports fans it's time for another exciting installment of Thursday Night Football. I want to start off tonight by acknowledging the fact that we've had a few complaints stroll in through our inbox here at the offices of The Golden Goose. No no, people aren't upset that they are making too much money, but there have been a few who have voiced concerns over the timing of our picks. Some people have leagues with cutoffs for when picks need to be in others just hate waiting around for good advice. On the issue of timing I'll say this; we are a rather unorthodox picking team. While some blogs pride themselves on having picks for every game out by Tuesday afternoon The Golden Goose prides itself on picking when the time is right and the feelings are good. It's a different kind of energy at GG world headquarters and is one that does not rely on strict scheduling and superb organization. We understand this makes it difficult on those that are most important to us, namely the fans, but we need you to understand that this is how we have been able to find success over and over again. To those of you who stand by The Golden Goose's policy of posting at will, even if a pick comes 30 minutes before the starting whistle, we congratulate you on your patience and  look forward to finishing up the season with money in both your pockets and ours. To the many who have found frustration in our policies, we will begin posting all spreads for the week on Wednesday and our usual last minute write ups as they have been written. Thank you all again for sticking with us as we move through this transitional stage in the blog and best of luck this weekend!

There is a match up tonight in Minnesota as the Vikings host the Buccaneers. The spread is Vikings -6 and The Golden Goose is happy with what it sees. While this game is going to be tight on both sides of the ball the Vikings should be able to use the advantages of Adrian Peterson and Percy Harvin to win by a touchdown. Tampa Bay is one of those teams that a lot of people feel have the chance to win every single time they are on the field but they just haven't proved that yet this year. They have a lot of good players but they stink on the road this year and half the teams they have beaten have been the chiefs. The Vikings have a lot to prove as they race to dominate their very close division. The Vikings are going to make a statement and they are going to make it by more than 6 points.
