Yep. You know when someone picks X to win by one, they’re likely expecting a loss, but just can’t pick that way.

X 59 V 56.. Conor meet Dwon. Moore meet Jerome. Samuel meet Colby. (you get the drift..we have had bad matchups in the past with their versatile players but now we seem to have some). It is always been fools gold to try to punish Villanova with size ..I believe Rashid Gaston has 20+ in a double figure loss once. And how is Cosby Roundtree still there?

So you’re going to be “that guy,” huh. You do realize, even if you win you lose. So instead of being “that guy” why not change it to X winning the game. Don’t do it because I’m “that guy” who’s always there to make fans feel bad when they pick OUR team to lose. No, change it because you don’t want to be “that guy” who jinxed OUR team or “that guy” that this guy got you to believe jinxed the team. Especially when you could be “that guy” who picked X to win 67 to 63 instead and end up winning with the perfect score. I’d want to be “that guy.” wouldn’t you?

Of course, if you don’t keep your score at v67 x63 and that ends up being the winning score, you would blame me for being “that guy” who called you “that guy” who picked X to lose which then caused you to change your score and lose- which would make you “that guy” who could have won if not for this guy right here. So just forget everything I typed.

I've picked X to lose before so it's not like I can't do it, I just feel like scum when I do it and I'm right.

I have thought long and hard about this pick.

Roman Numerally X is greater than V
X has played better than V so far this year
I believe X has a real chance tonight
vs
X has not won in Philly since they played St. Joes, Temple and LaSalle
X has never won at Villanova

But it all come down to one thing

I am a firm believer in reverse jinxes. Wait did I just reverse a reverse jinx? In that case I am not a believer in reversing a reverse jinx!

This will be interpreted as the loser of the game winning. I cannot tell who "not this year" refers to.
