Week 8 picks

Last week: 8-6
Season record: 75-31-2

 So when the hell did it get to be Week 8?  We waited like 7 months for kickoff and the season is literally almost half over.  Oh well, that's why we have to enjoy it while it lasts.  Let's make some picks.....

Philadelphia vs. Jacksonville at London--I think this is the last one in London for the year.  I believve there is a Mexico City game and then Roger Goodell plans to next year have a game in Antarctica.  Now that's a game I'd watch.  Eagles 34, Jags 16

Baltimore at Carolina--Oh wait, I forgot to make a Philly horseshit joke.  Ah, I guess I'll let it slide this time.  And by slide, I mean slide out of a horse's a---okay, that's enough.  Panthers 23, Ravens 20

NY Jets at Chicago--Wow, the Bears were looking like they might have a shot at the division, and then they remembered they were the Bears.  Bears 21, Jets 17

Tampa Bay at Cincinnati--I'm way more happy than I should be about the Bengals' 2 game losing streak.  Nobody wants to see the Boys of September anywhere near January anymore.  Bengals 28, Bucs 21

Seattle at Detroit--I used to wonder what it would be like to live on the west coast and have your team play the early slot on Sunday, which would be a 10am start.  Then they started to wise up and make the London games actual afternoon games which means morning football as an appetizer to the rest of the day.  And I like it.  Lions 30, Seahawks 27

Denver at Kansas City--Pat Fucking Mahomes.  Chiefs 38, Broncos 17
.
Washington at NY Giants--The Giants are now selling off their best players for draft picks.  They are throwing in the towel, yet still are going to trot you-know-who out there instead of seeing what the other QBs on the team might provide.  Unless the idea is to keep losing.  Ugg.  Redskins 31, Giants 12

 Cleveland at Pittsburgh--Why do I get the feeling another tie might be in the offing?  Okay maybe not.  Steelers 23, Browns 20

Indianapolis at Oakland--OMG two of the three late window games.  Starting with this one, after which Chuckie just might retire on the spot and be ready to rejoin the MNF booth the next day.  Colts 27, Raiders 20

San Francisco at Arizona--These two teams are 1-6 which just made me realize that the Giants had better keep on losing.  At least one of these two will likely get their second win.  Niners 24, Cards 16

Green Bay at LA Rams--The Packers have not really addressed their defense in maybe 20 years.  And it's gonna make tomorrow look ugly.  Rams 41, Packers 35

New Orleans at Minnesota--I've seen that Stefon Diggss miracle TD about a hundred times and I'm sure I will see it another hundred times tomorrow morning alone, but it still gives me goose bumps  Vikings 33, Saints 31

New England at Buffalo--Wow, the Bills make the playoffs for the first time in 20 years, and they get a home Monday night game, and it's against a team that is going to make the ESPN suits regret their decision.  Pats 37, Bills 10

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...
