2011 NFL Week 3 – Picks

Trying to extend the success of Week 2, here are our picks for week 3. There are a few toss ups this week. I put my pick behind the home team simply because playing at home often gives a team a little more emphasis to win for their fans, they don’t have to travel, and in some of these cases, they’re playing for pride this week. The Prince continues his pick strategy with the animal over the mundane, and the birds winning regardless, with the exception of Arizona. There he picked the bigger bird and hopes the Seahawks can win one at home.

Sunday 12:20- The Munchkin refines his picks for the day and I’m changing my pick for Wash/Dallas.

2011 NFL Week 2 – Results

I had a much better week in Week 2 of the NFL. My Redskins and Titans won. Even though I didn’t pick the Titans I’m happy they won. There were 2 games of the week that showed life’s lessons are about balance, even within the NFL. The Colts showed their success is based on one player and with Peyton at the helm, they can’t win. While the balance of that was seen in Atlanta showing that one man, in this case Vick, can’t win a game all alone. Where were his receivers? There were so many dropped passes that should have been easy catches that the Eagles should’ve / could’ve destroyed the Falcons. That is, if the rest of the team had showed up ready to play. In the end it was a pretty good week for me, 11 games won out of 16. The Prince came in 2nd in our family match up. Daddy, well he didn’t do real well this week.
