2011 NFL Week 13 – Results

We had a pretty good week in Week 13. There were a few bets I’m glad I didn’t get right. Particularly how in the world do you ice your own kicker and lose the game. Well ask Dallas cause they did it. Ha-ha. So here’s our results for the week.

Only one good bet… gulp… take Indy and the points. I’m going to need more beer for the night game.

E.W.

It’s amazing that losing Manning not only killed Indy’s offense, but apparently he was a huge part of the defense too. I guess they have the wrong label for his position. It should be QuarterLineCornerSafetyRunningTightEndBackMan.

There are no good bets this week.

E.W.

Looking the spreadsheet, my gambling average would be great if all the games today end tied 0-0. I wonder if someone would give odds on that happening…

2011 NFL Week 12 – Picks

Happy Thanksgiving Week!

Not to many toss ups this week. The Prince is pretty much sticking to his Animal method with a few exceptions. Even he knows the Lions can’t beat the Packers. I think one of the biggest unknowns this week is down in New Orleans. That game could go either way, but the Saints have not lost a single game at home. So we’re giving them the advantage. New England and Philly is the other unknown game. I honestly flipped a coin. The kid is going for his team the Eagles to win. We’ll see how we do with that.

So here’s our picks for Week 12!

2011 NFL Week 11 – Results

We appear to have recovered from our terrible picks. And the little Prince actually won the family pool with only 2 losses. Imagine that. Picking the “animal” team actually worked out for him this week.

As for Mom..how in the world did Miami beat Buffalo? I really expected Dallas to win against my Redskins, but you have to go with loyalty.  Same reason I picked the Titans to win. I think for week 12 however, that might need to change. There’s something about an 8 year old making better picks that simply brings out the competitiveness of his Mom and Dad. Anyway, here are our weekly results:

Week 11

NFL Week 11

Anybody know what happened to the Panthers? The Queen has a theory on bye weeks being bad for the team, says they come back rusty cause they haven’t played a real game in two weeks. She may be on to something.

If I was coach I’d fix this, “bye week” would be words of dread among my team, they would all whisper things like, “I hate bye week, I wish we were going to be playin’.”

2011 NFL Week 11 – Picks

The Prince and I are hoping we have a better week. Having it start on Thursday seems to throw us off. But here we go for this weeks picks. We’re both picking our favorite teams over their opponent. Which means we’re picking the underdogs, but here’s hoping the Skins and Eagles can match up to our loyalty.
