Spring’s Division Playoff Results & Conference Picks

seahawksDivisional Playoff Results

Wasn’t last weekend exciting? Each NFL game came down to the wire and it was anyone’s game!

Yeah I know, I was trying to make it sound exciting, but frankly the games last weekend were nowhere near as good as Wild Card weekend.

All my teams won, with the exception of the Panthers. Sadly that’s the one we cared about the most. Seeing as how Evil was born and raised in Charlotte, having the Panthers in the playoffs made everyone in the family happy. And it’s the one game I didn’t win. Continue reading

NFL Divisional

seahawksEvil’s Analysis for the Divisional Playoffs

Well the Wildcards sucked. At least the games were great. Well, except Cincinnati…

Clearly I was wrong about practicing your team in a blast freezer so they can be prepared for the cold. New advice: Keep your team warm and cozy right up till game time, if they get cold before the game, they will probably lose.

All I got for the Wildcards was a true failure. It was handed to me by my second most favorite team of all time, Green Bay. Maybe they were trying to save me from the agony of deciding whether to root for the Panthers or them. I need a new cheese head hat, more of a full helmet affair, with eye holes so I can become the unknown cheese head. Continue reading

Spring’s Wild Card Results & Division Playoff Picks

PanthersWild Card Results

Well I had a good wild card weekend! All the games were great to watch, entertaining and nail-biting. Any game that comes down to the final drive or final play to take it all has to be awesome!

I’m so glad the Saint’s pulled out their victory. Of all the games that occurred last weekend that’s the one I was interested in the most. I was a little surprised that Green Bay gave San Francisco such a hard time. But of course, in the end the 49’ers held the Packers off and took that game. And where did San Diego come from? They’re not supposed to be this good. But congrats to them as well. Continue reading

NFL Wildcards

greenbayEvil’s Analysis and Picks

Week 17 was fantastic, got 11 games and best of all one of the games I got wrong was Dallas not going to the playoffs. Well they could be I suppose, they’re wealthy guys, I bet they can all afford tickets and air fare.

I nailed the Pittsburgh, New Orleans and New England games

In the true failure category Green Bay is going to the playoffs but I still count that a win.

Computer says that Seattle will still eek a win by Denver in the Superbowl. Should be a great game.

Spring’s Week 17 Results & Wild Card Picks

New Orleans SaintsWeek 17 Results

I had a good week! 13 of the 16 final games. That’s a win ratio of 81%! Woohoo me. I’m excited my Titans won!! Yeah. Though I wish they could have made it to the playoffs. The consolation prize, Dallas didn’t make it either. HeeHee! The three teams that let me down were in toss-up games. At least I think they were. The Jets handily took out Miami. Minnesota stepped it up and took out the Lions. And Kansas City fell to the Chargers. But they didn’t go down easy. That was a good game. Any game that falls into overtime is generally a good game. Whither it means something or not, it’s good football.

Now the big news on Twitter for December 29th was the decision by CBS to switch their broadcast of Denver at Oakland game at halftime to the Kansas City at San Diego game. Many people were quite angry about that decision. They wanted to see Peyton Manning make history. But when the teams returned from the locker room, Peyton did not start the second half. So fans didn’t miss what they thought they were going to miss.

But as my Twitter friend Voodoo Fairy said:
“..that’s like going to a commercial in a #nascar race & coming back to a tractor pull :-/”. Yes..yes it is. So here are my results for this years regular season. Continue reading

NFL Week 17

PanthersEvil’s Analysis and Picks

Week 16 only sucked slightly less than week 15. I got 8 picks. I forgot to mention last week that there was a good bet. You’re all welcome. It would appear that the 10 point spread was somewhat optimistic for Houston.

I nailed one game, Tennessee and Jacksonville, meh.

On the plus side I only had one true failure. I don’t know what Chicago did to piss off Philly but that beat down was pretty mean. Dallas should be terrified by this. Philly did that outdoors, in the wind and cold. If I was Dallas I’d get some big fans and snow blowers and set the AC in the stadium to 20 degrees. Of course if I was Dallas, Romo would be playing and Bryant would be looking for a new contract. Continue reading

Spring’s Week 16 Results & Week 17 Picks

footballWeek 16 Results

Well it wasn’t a great week, but at least I got 9 of the 16 games. I don’t see how Minnesota clobbered Kansas City so badly, especially since they were at home! Did KC forget to show up for the game? And what happened to Denver? Is Houston really that good and they simply haven’t played up to their potential until week 16? I don’t know about that.

The big surprise to me occurred up in Seattle. Where did they go last week? Cause they didn’t stay home. Maybe they thought they were playing in an away game and they went to Arizona instead. Of course I picked my Skins against our dreaded rivals the Cowboys and I thought they might actually pull it off But alas, that didn’t happen.

With one more week to go, here’s my final results with a 56% win ratio and a 55% ratio for the season. Continue reading

NFL Week 16

PanthersEvil’s Analysis and Picks

I guess my run of good luck is over. Only 7 picks right last week. And I failed to nail even one game of those.

So, let’s talk about the true failures category. Neither Arizona or Tennessee brought a D squad. Well maybe Arizona brought one guy. I nailed Seattle’s score in that game. Unfortunately for me, the Giants weren’t there to see it. And I’ve said it before, never bet on a B team, you can never tell when they will show up. Buffalo showed up. I think they had 44 men on the field.

This week New England is back out of the Superbowl. Seattle with a 15-1 record will win over Denver.

My take: Continue reading

Spring’s Week 15 Results & Week 16 Picks

TitansWeek 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
