I forgot to post our results from last week. It wasn’t a bad week, but not as good at the previous 2. Even the Prince didn’t do so badly this time with his ‘the animal always wins’ strategy.

The Prince and I made our picks for week 7. I’m not feeling very confident about some of these picks and there are a few that are definitely toss ups. But here’s our choices.

I’m well in positive territory in terms of overall gambling, which is weird.  There is only one good bet today, Dallas is NOT going to score 24 points in cold cold Foxboro, take the under bet.

San Diego has replaced New England in the Superbowl and will lose to Green Bay.

Here’s Vegas’ take:

E.W.

The computer says Baltimore will face Houston in the playoffs, we get a preview today.

Most of the favorites are playing at home, but we do have a few potential upsets this week. Either because of emotion or sheer frustration from losing. The first upset from the Prince and I comes from Atlanta. There’s no doubt that the Panthers are getting better each week. And although Atlanta has the better record so far, they’re beat up and honestly I don’t think their that much better than Carolina. There’s also a few toss ups this week. Houston & Baltimore, Buffalo & the Giants, New Orleans & Tampa. Generally I’d pick who has home field advantage, but I’m not so sure that’s going to make enough of a difference in some of these games. So we’ll see how that turns out. And I still have to go with my Skins to beat the Eagles. Loyal fan to the end there.

Not a bad week at 9-4 for me. The Prince is still relying on his animal vs animal method and it’s still failing. He’s 8, so trying to convince him to change his method is proving difficult. We simply don’t tell him his results during the games and he doesn’t get upset. Ah the things parents do to keep their kids happy.

Anyway, results..my Titans lost miserably to the Steelers, but I knew that game was a toss up anyway. Bruised egos aside, that home field advantage worked for Pittsburgh. Minnesota pulled out their win, but Indy still couldn’t their act together without Manning, which is honestly kind of pathetic. I am surprised the Giants couldn’t hold their own, at home no less, against the Seahawks. And kudos to Oakland. Right before the games started I had thought about changing that pick seeing as how Oakland would be playing with a great deal of emotion and huge desire to win after the death of owner Al Davis. But sometimes that emotion can go the other way too; so I stuck with Houston, at home. I’m sort of glad I lost that pick.

So here are the results for the Prince and I for week 5.

Here’s the picks:

Vegas:

There’s no good bets today.

E.W.

I need an extra 4 hours added to the day.

Some of this weeks picks seem pretty easy, but you never know what a team is going to do at home.  Tenn & Pitt is a toss up, but I think the Steelers have a bruised ego right now and though they’re playing at home, I think that gives Tenn a slight advantage. Ari v Minn and KC v Ind are the other toss up games. In those two games, I think playing at home just might give Indy and Minn the slight advantage giving both home teams their 1st win of the season. I expect the Giants and Packers both to have blow out games. Along with the Detroit Lions. Who’d a thought someone might say that about the Lions.

So here are the picks from me and the Prince.

Well, good news for Indianapolis fans, the operation was successful. The teams heads have all been successfully removed from their asses. No word on how Manning’s operation went…

Not so good news for Minnesota. Getting beat by Detroit’s gotta hurt. Worse they failed to cover the spread even. And somewhere in Buffalo there are two missing defensive squads, fortunately for Buffalo they didn’t really need theirs.

I’m counting big on the recovery of Indy, they will cover the 10 point spread by beating Tampa, and that’s my one good bet for the week.

Vegas’ Plan:

E.W.

I can’t wait to see the Dallas game today. If the offense plays bad as they did Monday night, someone better check Romo to make sure he didn’t bring a gun on the field.

After a pretty good week last Sunday, I’m hoping my method of picks holds out for week 4. The Prince is sticking to his “Animal vs.” method even though it didn’t serve him very well last week.

We didn’t do so bad this week with our picks. The Prince has a solid 50% average, which isn’t too bad for an 8 year old. Had I left my pick for the Wash/Dallas game I would have been up 1 on the week. But like many I thought those bruised ribs would hurt Romo a lot more than they obviously did. So while my Skins lost, my Titans pulled out their win and I’m happy about that.
