Week 7 picks

Last week: 14-1
Season record: 66-26-2

 This is why I try not to pat myself on the back.  I went 14-1 last week, and 26-4 the past two weeks combined.  And then last night I picked the Cardinals to upset Denver.  I was watching that score and I think it was 28-3 a minute into the second quarter.  Remember Josh Rosen saying his mission was to make sure every team that passed on him in the draft felt sorry?  Yeah, not really....at least not yet.  Here are the rest of the picks....

Tennessee vs. LA Chargers at London--Oh goodie, we've reached that point in the season where there are London games every week for a while.  At least this one is on in that sweet 8:30am CT spot so I can wake up, have coffee and turn on the game.  That said, this is one of those matchups that about five people are looking forward to, and none of them are me.  Chargers 27, Titans 12

New England at Chicago--I wonder how many times we will see Mike Ditka and the Fridge and McMahon and Singletary highlights from Super Bowl 20 before kickoff?  Which begs the question, can you name anyone from that Patriots team?  Uhh, Steve Grogan, maybe?  Pats 28, Bears 26

Buffalo at Indianapolis--Wow, there are some shitty games this week.  Colts 17, Bills 16

Houston at Jacksonville--Seriously, what's with the Jekyll and Hyde routine with all these teams?  The Jags looked like they might face the Rams in the Super Bowl and then got flattened--beating the Patriots and Jets to get to 3-1.  In between they lost a squeaker to the Titans, but then got bitch slapped by both the Chiefs and Cowboys in back to back weeks by a composite 70-21 score.  What the fuck?  I bet they rebound now.  Jags 26, Titans 20

Detroit at Miami--The two teams Ndamukong Suh used to stomp heads, uhhh, play for.  Dolphins 23, Lions 20

Minnesota at NY Jets--Oh yikes, this one is likely to go whichever way I don't pick.  Vikings 28, Jets 21

Carolina at Philadelphia--Let's combine the two cuisines--barbecue and horse shit!  Eagles 34, Panthers 17

Cleveland at Tampa Bay--Do you get the feeling you don't know who either of these two teams are this season?  You are not alone.  Browns 21, Bucs 19

New Orleans at Baltimore--About every three years, the Ravens wildly exceed expectations.  The Saints, who actually had a good defense last season, are back to being only offense. Ravens 30, Saints 23

Dallas at Washington--Dallas is going to continue its road woes today.  Redskins 27, Cowboys 24

LA Rams at San Francisco--Speaking of LA, can we talk about what a group of pompous douchebags the Dodgers are?  Rams 28, Niners 17

Cincinnati at Kansas City--Mahomes gets another prime time spot to show all the teams who didn't draft him how good he is.  Chiefs 35, Bengals 21

 NY Giants at Atlanta--I really am worried about what will happen on the Giants' sideline and locker room when they get to the bye week at 1-7.  Falcons 31, Giants 13

Wild Card Weekend picks

Last time (Week 17): 12-3 Season record: 81-37-1 So last week after the Damar Hamlin near-death experience shook the NFL universe, I wasn't exactly in the mood to make my Week 18 predictions.  Thankfully, Damar is out of the hospital and doing really, really well; which is better news than anything from any actual games being played.  What's more, the news kept getting better.  By Sunday afternoon, there were tweets and photos of Damar watching the Bills-Patriots game in his hospital room with his parents, as the Bills' Nyheim Hines ran back the opening kickoff for a touchdown.  That gave everyone in Buffalo and every football fan everywhere a jolt of pure and cathartic elation that we needed more than any of us realized.   And now we gear up for the playoffs, starting with two games tomorrow.  So let's make some picks! Seattle at San Francisco --I think we're going to be reminded that this first weekend of the playoffs usually features lopsided s...

Divisional Round picks

Last week: 4-2 Season record: 85-39-1 Many people, including yours truly, consider this the best weekend in football.  We've weeded out the lesser playoff teams, and while there are only four games, the matchups feature the best teams in the NFL.  This is when some really good teams go home, and when four teams will be one win from the Super Bowl.  Yeah I know I'm stating the obvious, but I'm just really giddy--not because of the quality of the games, but because my New York Football Giants are still standing.  I did not pick them to win last week but was thrilled that they did.  Now they look to upset the 1-seed Eagles, which is very unlikely but after watching last week, not completely out of the question.  So you're saying there's a chance?  Yes I am.  Let's get to it...... Jacksonville at Kansas City --If anyone knows Andy Reid's coaching tendencies, it's Jags' coach Doug Pederson, who played for Reid and coached under him.  This Jags tea...

Week 17 picks

Last week: 12-4 Season record: 69-34-1 Things are getting interesting and exciting and, in some ways, absolutely riveting.  This is when the NFL is must-see TV, vying for playoff berths and positioning.  And at the moment, there are so many teams that are still alive for the postseason, it's even more intriguing.  So let's go..... Dallas at Tennessee --Did anyone else happen to get the license plate of the suck truck that blindsided the Titans over a month ago?  I didn't realize they had lost five in a row until literally just now.  Make that six.  Cowboys 41, Titans 17 Arizona at Atlanta --All this matchup makes we wanna do is yawn.  A lot.  Falcons 20, Cards 16 Chicago at Detroit --The Bears have an outside shot at the #1 overall pick, and of all teams it's the Lions that can help them with that.  Lions 31, Bears 23 Jacksonville at Houston --The division leaders in each South division have losing records at 7-8.  Which begs the qu...
