Week 3 picks

Last week: 8-8
Season record: 17-15-1

Cincinnati at Buffalo--Is there snow in the forecast yet?  Come on, you know it's coming soon.  Bills 24, Bengals 13

Miami at Dallas--So with the Dolphins on track to possibly go 0-16, will the 2008 Lions be waiting to pop champagne as soon as they win one?  Cowboys 38, Dolphins 3

Denver at Green Bay--Is there snow in the forecast yet?  No but I live 3 hours south of Green Bay and it's gonna be raining like a mother so this could be a swampy mess.  Packers 23, Broncos 16

Atlanta at Indianapolis--I wonder how Andrew Luck's neck beard is doing in retirement.  Falcons 24, Colts 20

Baltimore at Kansas City--The best game of the week will be one that way too many people won't see.  Chiefs 35, Ravens 27

Oakland at Minnesota--I feel like the Vikings peaked with the Stefon Diggs game and now Kirk Cousins has dragged them back to being the Packers' bitches again.  Vikings 23, Raiders 19

NY Jets at New England--I wonder if the Jets have put a call in to Tim Tebow yet.  Patriots 42, Jets 10

Detroit at Philadelphia--Since we're three games in I thought it was the appropriate time to remind you all that an Eagles fan ate horse shit in the street after they won the Super Bowl two seasons ago.  Eagles 30, Lions 17

Carolina at Arizona--I feel like Kyler Murray is going to have a huge game tomorrow.  Cards 28, Panthers 25

 NY Giants at Tampa Bay--I am excited to see Daniel Jones get a start but it won't matter what he does because the Giants defense is a leaky pipe about to burst on every series.  Bucs 31, Giants 20

Houston at LA Chargers--This is a game of two teams that perennially get knocked out of the playoffs wild card weekend.  Chargers 22, Texans 19

Pittsburgh at San Francisco--Whoa, the Steelers are in danger of going 0-3.  I'm not sure that's ever happened in my lifetime.  Niners 24, Steelers 23

New Orleans at Seattle--Now that Alvin Kamara is my lead fantasy back, you can count on him to have what will wind up being the worst season of his career.  Seahawks 33, Saints 20

LA Rams at Cleveland--When they promised us a lot of Browns prime time games, they weren't kidding.  Rams 31, Browns 28

Chicago at Washington--Has there been a compelling Monday night game this decade?  Bears 19, Skins 17

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...
