NFL Week 12 – Spring & The Prince’s Results

Well it was a pretty good Thanksgiving and week for football. The little Prince and I switched places in the family win/lost column.

I finished the week out 12 of 16. I’m happy with that.

Here are the picks:

There aren’t any good bets this week, which is good. I think Tampa missed the plane to Tampa. Maybe they flew to Atlanta early…

Monday night is going to be a good game, the computer says this is a preview of the Superbowl. Here’s how the playoffs shake out:

Yesterday, while in the kitchen making a grocery list, the Prince comes and asks, “Whatcha doin?”

I said, “I’m getting the turkey dinner ready, cause Momma’s sick.”

“Wow, you’re gonna make a turkey from scratch?”

Nothing pumps your ego like your kid thinking you can produce a turkey from thin air…

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I hope you and your family have something to be thankful for this year. Even if it’s just being thankful for each other.

So this week we have some toss up games. I’m hoping New Orleans carry their winning streak through this weekend and beat New England. That was the toughest game to pick. The Prince thinks they’ll fall to New England though. I’m crossing my fingers on that one.

The Titans did such a great job last weekend that I’m hoping they’ll carry that through with Arizona. Especially since they’re playing at home. The Prince thinks the fishes will take the Bisons in the snow. Never know about the Voodoo child’s picks sometimes. He might be right, but I don’t think so. His upset pick is Houston over Indianapolis. Houston plays pretty good at home and it might be a tough game for the Colts. But I don’t think they’ll fall to the Texans.

So here’s our picks for this week. 

NFL Week 11 – Spring & The Prince’s Results

So here are our results.

Here’s the picks:

It would appear from last week that whatever Baltimore had, it is contagious, they appear to have given it to Cleveland. There’s only one good bet this week… Tampa. I’m not saying nothin’.

Smart kids –

Mom: You don’t think I’m your servant do you?

4-Year-Old: No, sister is… You’re just a very good person.

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? 

Here are the picks for Week 11

.

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.

Here’s the picks:

Carolina finally won me a bet! I’ll have to look through my files and see if that’s ever happened before. This week there are two good bets. It would appear that a lot of rabid Miami fans spent the week in Vegas, Tampa will cover that 10 point spread by beating them. And Cleveland will cover the spread against Baltimore… Did the boys in Vegas miss Baltimore’s last game?

Again Minnesota improves in the computer’s eye, in fact, they now look like the number one seed in the NFC. Here’s how the playoffs shake out:

Dear East Coast: I apologize for washing my truck and causing the biblical flood. I ran it through some mud, hopefully the rain will stop soon.
