Spring’s Week 15 Results & Week 16 Picks

Week 15 Results

First off I’d like to say everyone in my family wishes everyone in your family a wonderful Yuletide and Merry Christmas!

It’s Sunday and there’s only two weeks left of the NFL’s regular season. The next two weeks will be filled with commentary, confusing and convoluted scenarios for what a team has to do in order to make the playoffs. That team will have to win, that team will have to lose and your team will need other teams to do both of those to make a wild card birth. I’m terribly glad I’m not the one who has to know all that. I’m fairly sure I would fail at it miserably.

But I didn’t fail at last weeks results! Woohoo. I had 11 of the 16 games correct. I’m still trying to figure out how Denver lost, IN Denver to the Chargers no less. Did the Broncos forget where the stadium was? In my head Chicago and Cleveland was a toss up game, so I’m not surprised I lost that pick. But when the Saints lost to the Rams I thought my weekend was going to be long and depressing. Then New England lost in Miami!? What?! Continue reading →

Are You Smarter Than A Politician?

Can’t Access The Quiz?

I’ve been playing Bill Maher’s weekly trivia “Are You Smarter Than A Politician” on Facebook. Sometime in October or November it stopped working. Which was highly annoying as I was on top of the leader-board!

When you accessed the app, the bottom of the frame to load the “Breaking News” would simply spin and never load. Consequently, the script would never complete loading to the point where you could click on the links and take the quiz.

It was frustrating. After searching for a solution I finally found a link to the quiz outside of Facebook that does work.

If you’ve been in the same boat, try this link to complete the quiz for the remainder of the year. (You must first be logged into your account on Facebook for this to work properly.)

NFL Week 15

Evil’s Picks and Analysis

Week 14 was even better to me than week 13, I got 12 picks.

I nailed the New England game. Not that it was hard to pick Brady to win, but picking Cleveland to cover the spread was dicey. The covered it 9 points better than I planned, which didn’t hurt an over bet at all.

I also nailed the Jets game, only both teams scored even more than I figured. Good thing I took the over bet there.

In the true failures category, I favored Houston by 7 and Jacksonville showed up with a football team to win by 7. In Washington, KC showed up with two teams which evened out the game since DC forgot to bring a team. In Pittsburgh, Miami brought some tin snips for Pittsburgh’s tin foil curtain. In Denver, Tennessee’s defense only made it half a mile high, someone should send out a rescue squad and see if they can find them. And one day I’m going to study the Giants and see if I can figure out why suddenly this year they can’t play. I have a bad feeling they met Alice from Wonderland and drank the shrinking potion.

Week 14

It wasn’t a bad week! I won 10 games and that’s a 62% win ratio for the week. Which puts me at 59% for the season. I can live with that. Yeah me.

There were some surprises though. Indianapolis and Pittsburgh losing were, well unexpected. Thank goodness New England decided to wake up and realize they were playing football. What the heck was that? I can understand them being down and coming back against Denver. But it should never have been a struggle against Cleveland. But anyone who counted them down and out with come back kid Brady was simply deluding themselves. Continue reading →

Week 13 Results

Can you believe we’re into December already? Seems like it was only 1 month ago that the season started. Now we’re only 5 games away from Post-Season!

And on that note, the Skins lost…again…and they’re out of any playoff chance. The Prince is still cheering on his Eagles. We’ll see. But my Titans aren’t doing to badly.

According to SBNation’s NFL playoff picture 2013, No. 6 Tennessee Titans 5-6 (Wild Card, conference record and divisional tie-breakers) in the AFC. I still have hope! Continue reading →
