Evil’s Analysis and Picks

Week 17 was fantastic, got 11 games and best of all one of the games I got wrong was Dallas not going to the playoffs. Well they could be I suppose, they’re wealthy guys, I bet they can all afford tickets and air fare.

I nailed the Pittsburgh, New Orleans and New England games

In the true failure category Green Bay is going to the playoffs but I still count that a win.

Computer says that Seattle will still eek a win by Denver in the Superbowl. Should be a great game.

My take:

Vegas this week:

E.W.

I only have five minutes to post this, so imagine I said something witty as if I had hours to think of it.

Week 17 Results

I had a good week! 13 of the 16 final games. That’s a win ratio of 81%! Woohoo me. I’m excited my Titans won!! Yeah. Though I wish they could have made it to the playoffs. The consolation prize, Dallas didn’t make it either. HeeHee! The three teams that let me down were in toss-up games. At least I think they were. The Jets handily took out Miami. Minnesota stepped it up and took out the Lions. And Kansas City fell to the Chargers. But they didn’t go down easy. That was a good game. Any game that falls into overtime is generally a good game. Whither it means something or not, it’s good football.

Now the big news on Twitter for December 29th was the decision by CBS to switch their broadcast of Denver at Oakland game at halftime to the Kansas City at San Diego game. Many people were quite angry about that decision. They wanted to see Peyton Manning make history. But when the teams returned from the locker room, Peyton did not start the second half. So fans didn’t miss what they thought they were going to miss.

But as my Twitter friend Voodoo Fairy said:
“..that’s like going to a commercial in a #nascar race & coming back to a tractor pull :-/”. Yes..yes it is. So here are my results for this years regular season. Continue reading →

Evil’s Analysis and Picks

Week 16 only sucked slightly less than week 15. I got 8 picks. I forgot to mention last week that there was a good bet. You’re all welcome. It would appear that the 10 point spread was somewhat optimistic for Houston.

I nailed one game, Tennessee and Jacksonville, meh.

On the plus side I only had one true failure. I don’t know what Chicago did to piss off Philly but that beat down was pretty mean. Dallas should be terrified by this. Philly did that outdoors, in the wind and cold. If I was Dallas I’d get some big fans and snow blowers and set the AC in the stadium to 20 degrees. Of course if I was Dallas, Romo would be playing and Bryant would be looking for a new contract. Continue reading →

Week 16 Results

Well it wasn’t a great week, but at least I got 9 of the 16 games. I don’t see how Minnesota clobbered Kansas City so badly, especially since they were at home! Did KC forget to show up for the game? And what happened to Denver? Is Houston really that good and they simply haven’t played up to their potential until week 16? I don’t know about that.

The big surprise to me occurred up in Seattle. Where did they go last week? Cause they didn’t stay home. Maybe they thought they were playing in an away game and they went to Arizona instead. Of course I picked my Skins against our dreaded rivals the Cowboys and I thought they might actually pull it off But alas, that didn’t happen.

With one more week to go, here’s my final results with a 56% win ratio and a 55% ratio for the season. Continue reading →

Evil’s Analysis and Picks

I guess my run of good luck is over. Only 7 picks right last week. And I failed to nail even one game of those.

So, let’s talk about the true failures category. Neither Arizona or Tennessee brought a D squad. Well maybe Arizona brought one guy. I nailed Seattle’s score in that game. Unfortunately for me, the Giants weren’t there to see it. And I’ve said it before, never bet on a B team, you can never tell when they will show up. Buffalo showed up. I think they had 44 men on the field.

This week New England is back out of the Superbowl. Seattle with a 15-1 record will win over Denver.

My take: Continue reading →

Week 15 Results

First off I’d like to say everyone in my family wishes everyone in your family a wonderful Yuletide and Merry Christmas!

It’s Sunday and there’s only two weeks left of the NFL’s regular season. The next two weeks will be filled with commentary, confusing and convoluted scenarios for what a team has to do in order to make the playoffs.   That team will have to win, that team will have to lose and your team will need other teams to do both of those to make a wild card birth. I’m terribly glad I’m not the one who has to know all that. I’m fairly sure I would fail at it miserably.

But I didn’t fail at last weeks results! Woohoo. I had 11 of the 16 games correct. I’m still trying to figure out how Denver lost, IN Denver to the Chargers no less. Did the Broncos forget where the stadium was? In my head Chicago and Cleveland was a toss up game, so I’m not surprised I lost that pick. But when the Saints lost to the Rams I thought my weekend was going to be long and depressing. Then New England lost in Miami!? What?! Continue reading →

Week 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 →

Evil’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 →

Week 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.
