Week 10 2021 picks

Last week: 8-6
Season record: 80-56 

Hey everyone.....so after one of the weirdest weeks we've ever seen in the NFL, I was fully expecting to pull back the blankets from my bed of NFL picks to find that I had shit this particular bed.  But no, I had an 8-6 record....the incorrect picks being the Bills, Rams, Bengals, Raiders, Cowboys, and Saints....five of which I'm guessing at least 90% of pickers picked.  I'd love to see what the chances were before kickoff that all six of those games would be upsets.  

Anyway, let's move on to Week 10!

Baltimore at Miami--No one will be surprised if Miami pulls off an upset here, just based on the wacky week to week nature of the 2021 NFL.  However, it's probably not going to happen.  Right?  Ravens 23, Dolphins 13

Atlanta at Dallas--I feel like a case can be made for Matt Ryan to get some MVP votes.  Cowboys 27, Falcons 24

New Orleans at Tennessee--I'm not sure I can pick against the Titans again this season.  Titans 26, Saints 20

Jacksonville at Indianapolis--If Urban's Jags pull off a second upset in a row, I will eat my hat.  Don't make me eat my hat, Indy.  Colts 23, Jags 16

Cleveland at New England--Don't look now but the Pats are only 1/2 game back of Buffalo in the AFC East, and the possibility of the entire AFC North making the postseason seems a bit, you know, possible.  Browns 24, Patriots 23

Buffalo at NY Jets--That Josh Allen on Josh Allen commentary was WAY over the top.  In fact, there are still pundits talking about it almost a week later.  Bills 38, Jets 12

Detroit at Pittsburgh--The Lions played their "super bowl" against the Rams three weeks ago, and almost pulled off a huge upset.  The next week they got curb stomped by the Eagles at home.  They had a bye to reflect last Sunday before now going to Pittsburgh to get curb stomped once again.  Then again, 2021.  Steelers 30, Lions 7

Tampa Bay at Washington--Remember the wild card game between these two teams last season?  Taylor Heinecke and Chase Young's young WFT almost upset the GOAT.  But Brady went all Brady and rode that win all the way to a title.  This year, something is afoot at the Circle K in DC.  Bucs 31, WFT 20

Carolina at Arizona--Holy shit, Cam is back in Carolina!  Sam Darnold is going to be a practice squad QB next year, or maybe a stockbroker.  Cardinals 35, Panthers 14

Minnesota at LA Chargers--Wow, the Vikings sure have a way of pulling defeat from the jaws of victory.  Like, every season, without fail.  Chargers 27, Vikings 23

Philadelphia at Denver--I played Javonte Williams every week this year and then sat him against Dallas last Sunday.  Naturally he has his first 100 yard game.  Fantasy football and I have this spectacular Murphy's Law thing going on.  Broncos 19, Eagles 16

Seattle at Green Bay--Okay so if Russell Wilson plays and Aaron Rodgers does not, the Pack will be embarrassed at home.  Wow, Jordan Love is awful.  Like Tim Couch/Ryan Leaf awful.  And you know Rodgers was laughing from his couch before realizing that, uh-oh, maybe I should have gotten vaccinated.  (side note, what a dipshit he turned out to be).  Packers 31, Seahawks 27 (assuming Rodgers plays).  

Kansas City at Las Vegas--One of the wild storylines this year is how the Chiefs have tumbled back down to earth.  Okay maybe more like crashed.  Raiders 29, Chiefs 27

LA Rams at San Francisco--This game has upset potential, if one has the balls to call it.  Ah fuck it, I'm going there.  Niners 20, Rams 18

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...
