I Bet You.... Week 12 NFL Matchup Free Printable + Black (out) Friday Drinking Game

If you've been following along, you will know that my mascot picks sucked. Using actual sports knowledge to make picks sucked. So basically I've come to the conclusion that successfully betting on sports is just nothing but stupid blind luck. So naturally I'm excited to do it again this week and I'm hoping you guys will join me.

Chalupa Batman and I bet on sports all the time. It makes games that you might not have had a vested interest in, so much more fun to watch. Our wagers are never monetary, so if you want to do this with your man too, you gotta put your thinking cap on and get creative. 

(I feel like I need to periodically explain who Chalupa Batman is and why I call him that so if you are constantly confused when I say "CB" go here.) 
For the record, my proudest bet won to date was when CB had to wear a Tennessee shirt to the Oklahoma vs Tennessee football game back in September. Just take a look at how good he looked that day rooting for Tennessee rather than that other team that likes to call themselves UT too. 

Shirt can be found here
So yeah, betting with your boyfriend is fun. This week, we placed bets on week 12, minus last night's game. The Terms
If I win... he has to take me on a Christmas light adventure. Said adventure can include one location with a bunch of lights and a picnic. Or it can include a night in the car with hot chocolates and many different stops at houses or venues with pretty twinkling lights that will dazzle my eyeballs. #sobasic #dontcarethough
If CB wins... I have to go fly fishing and camping in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. In the winter. In the cold. 
For those wondering, I'm not an outdoorsy kind of girl. Let's not get sporty and outdoorsy mixed up here. I'm like that Pinterest quote you've probably seen...

  So I would prefer to go ahead and win this. And so we are clear, here are our picks for Week 12. 

Tweet at me if you decide to give the betting thing a try this week. I really want to know what your wagers are, so that I can potentially steal them for my own personal use on future bets with CB! 
Before I sign off for the day, I've got my girl Shane from Whispering Sweet Nothings here with a Black (out) Friday drinking game. I'll admit it, I've never been much of a black Friday participant. But heck, with this drinking game in tow, I might just be game for a boozy 5am stroll around Target!   -------

It seems counter intuitive how we spend Thanksgiving gathered around loved ones to talk about all the things we are thankful for, only for all the gratitude and pleasantries to fly out the window 12 hours later to make way for some crazed day of shopping.

My advice for you? Instead of going to an insanely crowded mall at 5am sober, it’s so much better to do so with a little buzz to make fun of the crazies. Bonus: You’ll end up saving $$!

Feel free to start this game promptly at 6pm on Thanksgiving, as we all know that’s when the games begin these days.

Supplies: Some type of seasonal beer or better yet, Rumple Minze or Fireball if you’re feeling festive.

Number of Players: In the spirit of the holidays, the more the merrier!

Objective: Drink so much you forget all the calories you ate today.

The Rules:

Take a shot every time:

1. You enter a store
2. You catch a shopper with a red Starbucks cup attempting to caffeinate
3. You see a man begrudgingly carrying his S/O’s purse

Shotgun a beer every time:
1. Two women fight over the last item on a shelf.
2. You spot a screaming child left alone in a cart.
3. And another when the parents return and scream back at the kid like it’s their fault they are terrible parents.
4. You overhear someone in line bragging about how early they woke up this morning.
5. You witness a brawl in the parking lot.

Chug an entire bottle of wine every time:
1. Your mother-in-law calls you to come home and join the family

Game Over: You’re too sloshed to be seen shopping anymore, so head back to your family. Or on Cyber Monday, whichever comes last.

Cheers!

Keep some love in your heart, folks. It’ll remain long after
the sales have ended.
