NFL Week 11 – Spring & The Prince Make Their Picks

Well I haven’t been doing very well with my gut feeling picks. And there’s no guarantee this week will be different.

I’m sticking with the statistics on the Miami/Carolina game. Carolina has had some big boost in their confidence with their recent wins. Plus they’re playing at home and I think that gives them the advantage over the Dolphins. The Prince likes dolphins and think they will swim on by the big cats.

I’m going with Pittsburgh for the same reason. Their season and their record on the road is better than what I think Kansas City can play up to. I’m a little surprised the Prince is going with KC; his principal is a huge Steelers fan. But who know, the little voodoo child might know something we don’t.

While Dallas hasn’t been living up to their hype (which they rarely do anyway), I think Jerry is going to make sure they don’t loose at home in his Palace against Washington. I’m fairly sure there are some jobs on line with this game and I think they will pull out the win. The Prince however thinks the Redskins are great and they’ll pull out a surprise victory.

Minnesota / Seattle is another hard pick. I think the Seahawks have the potential for taking the Vikings. But I have to go with the sentimental favorite and pick Farve (The Geriatric Ninja) to pull off a win again with his Vikings. The Prince however thinks they’re tired and the kewl looking Seahawks are gonna win.

He’s picking Oakland over Cincinnati and I’m half tempted to change my pick to match his. But I think I’m going to go with my gut feeling about the stats for the Bengals and cross my fingers that I’m right about this one.

Lastly Tennessee at Houston is the last tough pick. I really want my Titans to win and they just might be able to pull it off. They’re coming off a win and a confidence boost, but I think Houston plays better at home than what their record indicates. So I’m taking a chance on my gut feeling and taking the Texans. The Prince knows Tennessee is one of Momma’s favorite teams (after all I was born there) and he’s decided because of that, they’re going to win. Don’t ya just love that 6 year old mental processing?

HBO’s True Blood

We’ve been watching HBO’s “True Blood” from Netflix. While I’ve seen a few of the episodes over it’s current seasons, I’ve missed a lot of them. SirEvil has never seen them so we decided to add the show to our Netflix list and start from scratch. One of the first things we decided is watching this show is like watching “baptist” porn. While the concept of sexual interaction is very much in tune with the historical mythology of Vampires, the show takes it to the very edge of what we’re used to seeing on American television, or even cable. Now for us, this isn’t a big deal; we’re hardly puritans. But it certainly surprises me that one of our dear friends (a very devout Christian) is totally enthralled with this show, with all it’s immoral concepts. For some reason I find that funny and interesting at the same time.

So after watching a few of the first episodes we find ourselves wishing Netflix would hurry up and send the next DVD. We’re ready for the next episode as soon as the previous one ends. A good sign for a show that it’s good. And this one, certainly is! If you haven’t seen it, it’s well worth putting on your Netflix list.

NFL Week 10 – Spring & The Little Prince’s Results

It was a great week for our favorite family teams, but not such a great week for picks. I’m ok with that!

I can’t believe the Redskins won a game. Woohoo and yeehaa! And wow look what the Panthers did to Atlanta. Even the Titans won a game, YES! I’m also very glad I was wrong about Indianapolis and that New Orleans held their own and kept their undefeated record alive as well.

So while the picks didn’t represent a great week of predictions, we’re still happy here in our little home.
