Spring’s Week 14 Results & Week 15 Picks

EaglesWeek 14

It wasn’t a bad week! I won 10 games and that’s a 62% win ratio for the week. Which puts me at 59% for the season. I can live with that. Yeah me.

There were some surprises though. Indianapolis and Pittsburgh losing were, well unexpected. Thank goodness New England decided to wake up and realize they were playing football. What the heck was that? I can understand them being down and coming back against Denver. But it should never have been a struggle against Cleveland. But anyone who counted them down and out with come back kid Brady was simply deluding themselves. Continue reading

NFL Week 14

PanthersEvil’s Analysis and Picks

Week 13 was good to me, 11 picks.

Nailed the Philly game, the San Fran game and the Seattle game. That is to say, I won both bets and called the pick in Seattle. The rest of that beat down of Orleans was just gravy on the cake.

On the true failures side, I think the Jets didn’t make it out of Miami airport. Maybe they got snowed in.

There are no good bets this week, and considering all the snow I see, that’s a good thing.

My take: Continue reading

TitansWeek 13 Results

Can you believe we’re into December already? Seems like it was only 1 month ago that the season started. Now we’re only 5 games away from Post-Season!

And on that note, the Skins lost…again…and they’re out of any playoff chance. The Prince is still cheering on his Eagles. We’ll see. But my Titans aren’t doing to badly.

According to SBNation’s NFL playoff picture 2013, No. 6 Tennessee Titans 5-6 (Wild Card, conference record and divisional tie-breakers) in the AFC. I still have hope! Continue reading

Evils Picks & Analysis

I hate week 12. I don’t want to talk about it. Except for the six games I picked. Oh and the Atlanta game where I won the good bet. I’m now only down 10% on good bets.

On the other hand, I failed to nail down a single game, not even the Atlanta game.

On the true failures side, surprisingly there were only two. It would appear that Da Bears’ D is already sitting at the table for turkey, they sure weren’t in St. Louis. And I don’t know what happened to the Giants this year, and clearly neither does my computer.

Week 13 Picks

redskins2We hope everyone has a very happy, safe and drama free Thanksgiving Day! It’s a time to remember what’s really important in life and to have those people around you at this special time of the year.

It’s time for football too, so let’s get to it.

Last week I actually used stats to help me make my picks. I’m not going to do that again. Going back to gut feel. The game I’m looking forward to is New Orleans at Seattle, but that’s not until Monday night. For Turkey Day, I don’t see anything to be excited about today. But who knows maybe someone will be annoyed they have to work on Thanksgiving Day and play with a bit more heart. Of all the Thursday games, Pittsburgh at Baltimore might be the only one worth watching. Continue reading

NFL Week 12

PanthersEvil’s Analysis and Picks

Week 11 is one of my favorite weeks of football. Not only did I call 11 games, but Carolina beat the Pats. Now the computer predicts Carolina as the number six seed in the playoffs. They get to go to New Orleans and get stomped. Guess it’s not a perfect week…

I nailed the Buffalo, Miami and Denver games. I almost called the KC and Denver scores exactly.

On the true failures side, Tampa Bay’s D says Falcons taste just like chicken. Also I can live with being totally wrong about Carolina.

There is one good bet this week and that is Atlanta will cover the spread by beating New Orleans. Continue reading

TitansWeek 11 Results

Can you believe it’s almost Thanksgiving? Where has the season gone? Looking back at last week, it wasn’t bad at all in regard to my football picks at least. I was right about my pick for the Colts, but come on my Titans hung in there pretty well! It wasn’t a runaway game after all! I must admit I was surprised at how Buffalo so easily handled the Jets. I really thought NY was better than that. I appear to have been wrong about that.

Now someone explain to me how Tampa Bay beat Atlanta? Because I don’t get that one at all. I know we’re talking the best of two losers, but still. I thought Atlanta was better than that. Finally, I feel sorry for Green Bay. They seem to have a knack for putting their talent into their quarterback and when he’s down, the team can’t rally to live up to their potential. Of course they’re not the only team that has this problem. Continue reading

The 2013 Nascar Season

Racing Comes To A Close – For This Year

The year comes to a close for Nascar’s 2013 racing season. Despite the grumbling and hysterics on Twitter, I think it was an interesting and exciting year. But then I’m a race fan, not a fair weather fan.

I’m not so quick to blame Nascar for the poor attendance and lower TV ratings. People who do this don’t understand how much the Great Recession has hit this country. Many of us are still struggling to recover and we can’t afford our season race tickets. And for many of the races, require cable/dish to view. That too costs money many don’t have. But that’s a different story.

You can’t write about the end of the season without first saying a big Congratulations to the champions of the season. Continue reading

Evil’s NFL Week 11 Picks

PanthersWeek 11 Overview

I am now 1-six hunnit and fiddy on bets that Denver games will go under. Got one. I also gained 520% on gambling overall. Hard to believe because I got most of the fricken winners wrong.

I nailed the Giants game. Not too hard, I’m sure Eli and the boys were looking for little kids and kittens to beat up. Nice of Oakland to satisfy that. Not that it was a beating really. Speaking of teams needing to bully somebody, I nailed the Pittsburgh game, no real surprise there. 2 for 2 on the B team games. That’s exactly the same as flipping heads twice. Continue reading

Spring’s Week 10 Results & Week 11 Picks

redskins2Week 10 Results

Not a bad week of picks; at least I broke even. My Skins lost, that was disappointing. How Tennessee lost to Jacksonville is beyond me.  Cincinnati came down to overtime. But truth be told, I don’t mind losing that pick. I love Baltimore!

The BIG shocker for me was Evil’s Panthers beating San Francisco. What in the world happened there? Are the Panther’s that good? Or did San Francisco assume that game would be a walk in the park and took it for granted? Part of me hopes they’re that good. But my gut tells me the 49’ers took it for granted on top of traveling cross country to an earlier time zone.

I’m glad Arizona squeaked out their win. I don’t think they played up to their potential against Houston. That or Houston has finally got their act together again. Continue reading
