Getting Ready For Week 3

So Week 3 begins and hopefully we’re out of the Twilight Zone. The Eagles will still be struggling without McNab. Tennessee is still feeling the sting of their loss last week going into NY where the Jets have home field advantage. While the Jets are flying high from their win over New England. I think this is the emotional game of the week and the Jets will have the advantage. New England has something to prove in Atlanta and I think they’ll do just that. Miami should easily take San Diego in California. And Indianapolis proved to themselves last week that they can come back and win on someone else’s home field, so I expect they’ll take Arizona with relative ease. Though it may not be as easy as they think, Arizona is showing they have some skills this year.

On Monday, I expect Dallas to come back on their home field angry and feeling they have something to prove. I love that they lost their home opener in the “Palace in Dallas” that Jerry built to his own ego. But I think that sting of defeat on their home opener, and in their new stadium with all it’s hype; well over hype if you ask me; has their blood boiling and they’ll take Carolina.

So here’s the picks for the week from me. Hopefully it’s not a continuation of last weeks miserable picks.

Spring’s Week 2 Results

Ok So Week 2 sucked! Or at the very least the NFL fell into the Twilight Zone for 2 days. How in the world did Houston beat Tennessee, or Arizona take Jacksonville. Without McNab I know Philly was a long shot, but hey we all make wishes sometimes. But come on Pittsburgh losing to Chicago? Say what?! This same Twilight Zone thing happened last year during Week 2. It’s an odd phenomena. The final result for the week was 7 out of 16. I don’t care much for those less than 50% weekends. Let’s go back to Week 1, I liked that one.

Getting Ready For Week 2 – Spring’s Picks

Even though the Eagles have probably lost McNabb for Sunday, I think overall they’re a great team that will pick up the slack with their 2nd string quarterback. I also hate going against SirEvil’s team, but I think the Panthers had their hats handed to them last Sunday and they’ll still be licking their wounds. Especially since they’re playing IN Atlanta. We’ll see how my thoughts pan out.

Spring’s Week 1 Picks

SirEvil and I started a little competition over NFL picks. Here was my Week 1 picks. I won 12 of the 16 games played.

…And the ones for the Hall of Fame game and the first three preseason weeks. I know what you’re thinking, “Yeah, sure, you’re picking the games AFTER they played…” If you will look at the data, I think my honesty speaks for itself… Ugh, I sure hope these results are because all the coaches finally took my advice and are keeping their starters bubble wrapped safely in the locker room and fielding anybody they think might be a diamond in the rough.

Seriously, if I was a coach, my starters might go out there for 3 or 4 plays with these instructions: If you think that you might break a nail, DROP THE BALL; we ain’t playing for money here. After that, I’d have the Mom of the kid from the hotdog stand, you know, Doris “The Pocket” Tidwell, as left tackle, the peanut tosser would be snapping the ball and the hotdog kid himself would be the QB. My receiver would be that kid I saw outrun the police car in the mall parking lot. “Hey kid… do you think you could catch a football while you’re running like that?” The water boy would be wide right…

I don’t know what the rules are about bringing 9 to 12 hundred potential players to the game, but I figure if you sift through that many wannabe football players you might find that diamond. You know the kid you send out, “Ok I don’t care about accuracy I just wanna see how far you can throw,” that comes back, “Um, I’m sorry coach. I’ll go run out there in the parking lot and find that ball…”

“That’s ok kid, we’ll get another ball… um… what’s your name?”
