The Little Prince’s Favorite Team

Week 6 Results

I’m not happy about how the week turned out for my picks. I know the Lions are not better than Cleveland, so how did they win…IN Cleveland no less?! Carolina has been struggling off and on. They have no consistency, especially on the road. So how did they beat the Vikings by 25 points IN Minnesota?

I don’t even want to talk about my Skins. But I knew deep down they weren’t going to win in Dallas. That was definitely a pick of loyalty and it’s hard enough to pick Dallas in games that aren’t against Washington. No way can I pick them against my home team! So I expected that one.

But now explain Indianapolis and San Diego. You can’t. So never mind.

Let’s simply get last week over with and move on. I finished the with a 60% win ratio, so I can’t be too upset about the overall week. And it was better than Week 4, so I’ll focus on the bottom line and everything will be ok.

Here’s how I ended Week 6: Continue reading →

Season Week 5 Results

Well I started out the day winning all the morning games. Then halftime happened. And it was down hill from there. Some one please explain to me how New England lost to Cincinnati? Did the Patriots forget to get on the plane?

Seattle at Indianapolis was my fun game to watch. I rather enjoyed that one. I thought I was heading for a great pick week, but alas I finished my pics with a 50% win ratio. At least I broke even! Continue reading →

Season Week 4 Results

Not a bad week for me. 9 out of 15 games, that’s 60% for the week. Not bad. I must admit I made some long reaching picks. I gave the edge to St. Louis because they were at home and they failed miserably. Cleveland really stepped it up on Sunday to win the honor of Ohio over Cincinnati. I’m still surprised about that one.

Houston losing to Seattle at home was another one that surprised me. At home, the Texans should have ruled that game. That or Seattle is a lot better than they’re being given credit for. Which really might be the case.

And I must admit I don’t mind losing the pick in Oakland. I was have a really bad feeling about my Skins this year, but they finally decided it was time to play some football! Yes!!

So here’s how my week 4 went: Continue reading →

2013-14 Season Week 3 Results

Well it wasn’t a bad week. 56% over all for the week and 52% for the season. Better than 50% means I’m still winning. And I did do better than some of the ‘professional’ pundits who are supposed to know more than I do.

There were some games that really made ya scratch your head though. Come on, there was some twilight zone things going on.

How in the world did Carolina Panthers not only win over the Giants, but shut them out?! Did New York forget to get on the plane or something?! WTH! Continue reading →

2013-14 Season Week 2 Results

Well I had a much better week in week 2! I went from a 32% win ratio in week 1 to 69%. Yeah!!

So I lost 5 of the weeks 16 games. Carolina didn’t win my wild card pick, but come on, that was a long shot to begin with. So I’m not feeling too bad about that.

I am thrilled with Seattle’s performance over San Francisco though. Which brings up the weather. Wow!

The dangerous lightning in Tampa Bay was matched by the dangerous lightning in Seattle. Not to mention the rain delay and rain interruption in Chicago for the Nascar race. It sure made Sunday a very long day!  Continue reading →

2013-14 Season Week 1 Results

Well I said my first week picks were never very good and Week 1 proved that to be true. So let me say I don’t mind losing the pick for the Titans since they’re my 2nd favorite team. I was born in Tennessee so it’s awesome when they win. But I was raised outside of DC and I was disappointed my Skins lost. Course they were playing against our little Prince’s favorite team so it wasn’t a total loss. Yeah Eagles.

So here’s my results from the first week of NFL Football. Continue reading →

Spring’s Week1 Picks

Well it’s that time of year again. Yeah! Seems like it’s been a very short summer. Probably because around here, it’s either been raining or too cold to get into the lake, it seems like we barely got summer at all. Even today we had weather from “The Day After”. I’m not sure how it can be Sept. 4th, with a high of 83, lo of 59, yet it’s 38 in our neighboring town of Milford. I think the Weather Bug flew into a refrigerated or something.

But that doesn’t have much to do with Football season does it?! I’ve never been good at picking the first games of the season. My picks for Week1 are based on nothing but my gut instinct and how I perceive finished last year. So if you’re using my picks for your football pool (as some have told me they do), I’ve warned you first.  😉 Continue reading →
