2011 NFL Week 17 – Results

Well it was a great week for football and making my picks. Even the little Prince did fairly well finishing at a little above 50% for the final week of the season.And amazingly his pick the animal team to win method managed to bring him to a whopping 51% for the entire season. Wow. Who’d a thought!

For my part, I lost 2 games this week. One of which I wasn’t sad to lose because my Titans pulled off the win. Yeah!But those loses got me a 87.5% for the week. I’m a little impressed with my overall 64% for the entire season. Not bad in the scheme of things.

So here’s our results for the final week of the season.

2011 NFL Week 17 – Picks

Well it’s the final week of the regular season and there are a few toss ups to choose from. I think the determination of San Diego will carry them to a win over Oakland. I’m not positive with my pick of Green Bay over Detroit. My brain says it’s the right pick, but my gut says Detroit has a deep determination to pull out a final win today. So I’m going with Green Bay, but I’m iffy on that one. Arizona and Seattle is my other toss up. I’m picking Arizona only because they’re at home. But the little Prince is going with his bigger animal to win in the animal battle. He might be right on that pick. The last of my toss ups would be Dallas and the NY Giants. I have to go with the Giants because anyone vs Dallas is my real pick. Even when I pick Dallas to win, I’m cheering on the other team. So here’s the picks from me and the Prince. I’m some what sad the season is coming to an end. But… as of today.. 56 Days to the Daytona 500! Yes!

2011 NFL Week 16 – Results

It wasn’t a bad week considering the passion teams are playing with as we come down to the end of the season. Green Bay woke up and realized they actually have to play to win a game. Glad to see that. Also glad to see New Orleans pull out a great season. Not to mention..wasn’t it great for Drew Brees to break the single season most yards thrown record on a final touchdown pass?! Congrats to him and the Saints for making the record books on what was a great pass and wonderful celebration!

2011 NFL Week 16 – Picks

Ok..so we have a game on Thursday; is it just me or is the coverage on NFL truly the worst in the world? Most games are on Saturday and Sunday’s game might really be interesting. Though I do expect New Orleans to win, I think Atlanta will give them a run for it. But who knows if the Twilight Zone will extend into this week.

The Prince is sticking with his animal wins theme. It served him better last week than my method..which isn’t really a method. But here are our picks.

2011 NFL Week 15 – Results

It was football in the twilight zone. Which basically means we had a terrible week!

How in the world did some of these teams win? There’s no other explanation than..the harmonics of the Universe turn around and flew in the opposite direction. Buffalo lost to Miami IN Buffalo? Huh?  Indianapolis really beat the Titans? And where has San Diego been all year? This reminds me of stepping it up at the end to take it all like Tony Stewart did during the final 10 races of the Chase.

2011 NFL Week 15 – Picks

Once again the week starts early and we tried to make our picks on time. I don’t know what to think of my Skins. But I don’t think they’re playing well enough to take on the Giants at home. So while my heart says Washington, my brain says..not this week. Houston is another interesting pick this week. I expect them to win, but Cam sure is picking up the level of the Panthers and it’s hard telling how he might inspire them this week. My other toss up is in San Diego. The numbers say Baltimore should win and I’ve picked them. But the Chargers have also picked up their level of play and some have said Norv’s job is on the line. So they may actually push the envelope and make a run at the Ravens. We’ll see. So here’s our picks for the week.
