2014 Season: Week 8

Well it was an interesting week. I like winning more than I lost too. I finished the week with a 60% win ratio and that raised my season win ratio to 56%. Yeah me.

There were a few games I’m honestly glad I lost.

I like Green Bay, they’re a good team with a great history. How can you not like the team who represents the blue-collar workers of America? But to be honest, I much prefer New Orleans. The years and years of being the underdogs, the fight and fortitude to find success when Naw’leans needed the most. I love that heart. So even though I picked the Packers last week to win. I’m so glad they didn’t!

Then there’s my Skins! Woohoo. Before I expanded my favorites, the only team who had my backing were, and are, Washington. Well I take that back. I always had 2 favorites; the Skins and whoever played against Dallas! So when Monday night came and my Skins were playing in Dallas, I mean really..who thought they were going win? I say we bench RGIII and keep Colt!

So here’s how my week turned out. Continue reading →

2014 Season: Week 8

Thursday’s game between San Diego and Denver is already into the 1st quarter, so there’s not a lot of time for analysis. But I think Peyton has this game. There are a couple of games I’m seriously taking a guess with. Baltimore and Cincinnati being one of those. Going with the Bengals there.

Miami and Jacksonville; the battle for Florida. I dunno, the way the Dolphins have been playing this season. I think they’re going to take Tampa Bay.

And I have to admit I’m picking the Eagles out of loyalty to the man-child. He’s a Philly fan so go Eagles!

Here’s the rest of my picks this week. Continue reading →

2014 Season: Week 6

What a great week! I made it through with 12 wins. Ok one of those is a Tie; so Cincinnati didn’t lose and I’m counting it as a win. San Diego is on top of their division, so I’m not really surprised I lost that pick. But come on; Oakland did turn it into a pretty good game.

The two surprises of the week for me, Atlanta lost to Chicago at home. Now I know the Bears aren’t a push over, but the Falcons playing at home?! How did they not show up for that game?!

Of my 3 losses, the most surprising was Dallas beating Seattle. Again, at home for the Seahawks? Say what? How did that happen? The way Romo has been playing all year, he suddenly decided to show up and play? Well that’s just not right.

Regardless I had a good week and the result was an 80% win ratio for the week and 54% for the season. Better than last week. So here’s my Week 6 results. Continue reading →

2014 Season: Week 6 Picks

We continue football in the twilight zone and the full moon, though it’s waning, is still impacting the tides. So I’m going to forgo my usual analysis and pick from the gut. We’ll see how this works. I’m not giving this a lot of credence with the stressing week, month, how about year! we’ve had.

So here we go.
I think I’m ok with tonight’s pick. Sunday? I dunno; it’s the twilight zone in football! Continue reading →

2014 Season: Week 5 Picks

I don’t even know what to say about this week. After the way my past weeks have gone, I’m simply taking guesses here. Maybe the NFL has fallen into the world of the Paranormal, with karma flying from team to team and trying to make things right. Or maybe the moon and stars have lined up to create a world in the Twilight Zone where everything is turned around and upside down.

Whatever the excuse. Here’s my picks for week 5. Continue reading →

2014 Season: Week 4 Picks

I’m tired and stressed out; so no game insights tonight.

Here are my picks for Week 4.

I hope I do better than the past two weeks. Another indication of being stressed out beyond belief, can’t think and can’t pick my games very well. Continue reading →

2014 Season: Week 3

I’m hoping for a better week this Sunday. My games to watch: Washington at Philadelphia. I’m actually picking against my most favorite team. But this is an in conference game so it has some high stakes for both teams.

Anyone know where the Giants have gone? Who would have thought they’d be struggling so badly? I didn’t. While they’re lost, Houston is stepping it up, and I think they’ll take New York by storm.

On that same note, Andrew Luck seems to be having some bad luck so far this year. Where are the rest of the Colts? And like Houston, I think the Jags have discovered big kitties have big teeth. They are really playing well in this early part of the season. Wonder if they’ll be there in the end.

The other game I’m interested in, as I’m sure a lot of people are; the Broncos in Seattle. I think Denver comes into the week with a determination to redeem themselves from the Super Bowl loss. But I don’t think it’s going to be that easy. The Seahawks are smarting over a loss last week that should have never happened. And they have a reputation to redeem from that loss. That they’re playing at home in Seattle I think gives the Hawks an advantage. Albeit a very small one.

Here’s my picks for this week: Continue reading →

2014 Season: Week 2

Did you have a good first week? I didn’t do to badly on my first set of picks. But more about that below. It’s Week 2 and there are some interesting games coming up. Especially after last weekend. Did you think the Patriots would lose against the Dolphins? I certainly didn’t. Come on its New England!

With last week in mind, here are my picks for Week 2.
After the terrible showing from Romo last week, I think the Cowboys are too busy pointing fingers at each other, instead of working as a team to get it done. So I’m going with my Titans to win at home.

Over Minnesota the Vikings will be taking on the Pats. Now you’d think NE should have no problems winning that game, but the Vikings really didn’t play badly last week where as the Patriots did. Whatever is going on in New England, I don’t think it will be fixed by this Sunday. So I talked myself into going with Minnesota. I think Luck feels like he has something to prove after last weeks loss and he’s enough of a leader on that team to rally everyone behind him. Continue reading →
