October is just about here, which means it’s time for me to brave the crawl space and dig out the Halloween decorations. It also marks the start of the great debate: What costume will my kids wear for Trick-or-Treating?
If you’re a parent with little ones in that prime Trick-or-Treat age, you know their costume choice changes on a daily basis, similar to NFL odds. Yesterday it was Spider-Man 2099, but after a Netflix session, they want to be some crazy Anime character you’ve never heard of. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? The sharp money is on Mario Bros.
Whatever it is, they gotta decide who they’re going to be — and fast. All the good costumes are getting snatched up and I don’t want to be explaining the plot of “Risky Business” while buttoning up my pantless 8-year-old in a dress shirt at 6:33 p.m. on October 31.
Week 4 odds of the NFL season are a similar crossroads. Teams were waiving on who they wanted to be through the first three games, and now we’ll get a much clearer idea of who they really are as October opens this Sunday.
Will we see teams dressed up as Superman or will it be something gruesome, like the Chicago Bears? Here’s hoping my NFL picks are more “Cujo” than “Bluey” in Week 4.
