NFL Wildcard Week

Evil’s Playoff Picks For Wildcard Weekend

Score another one for my gut. If Quinn was hiding Denver’s superbowl rings in his cup, they’re not there anymore. No word on if they found his cup. Denver is now top of the AFC and they get a rematch with New England, this time in Denver. The computer says that NE will still stomp them into the dirt just like last year. If Tebow was holding them back, it wasn’t that much.

I think I see the method behind the madness of the Green Bay loss. By losing to Minnesota they avoid all the tough games in the playoffs. However the computer says that San Francisco will be tough enough anyway.

Bottom line here, New England will still beat Atlanta in the Superbowl.

My take for Wild Card Weekend: Continue reading

NFL Week 17 & Wild Card Weekend!

Spring & The Prince Get Ready For The Play Offs!

Last weekend couldn’t have gone much better for me! Well, yeah it could have. I would have liked to see the Saints win, but it appears Evils Panthers figured out how to play football. How’d that happen? Nothing was as wonderful as my Redskins taking down Dallas on Sunday night! Yeah baby! It’s the best rivalry in all of football if you ask me. I’d say second to that is Minnesota and Green Bay. But it’s a distant second.

All in all, it was still a great weekend with 12 winner picks vs 4 losses. That’s a 75% win rating for the week! I can live with that. And with 144 wins on the regular season, with the 1 tie included for 145; my win rating for the season so far is 65%. In full disclosure the Prince and I didn’t make picks for the first 2 weeks (that’s an additional 32 games we’re not counting here). Continue reading

NFL Week 17

Evil Makes His Final Picks Of The Regular Season

Well the pattern was right. Nothing else was. My computer assures me that had Cleveland’s offense showed up at the game, they would have given Denver what-for. I’m down to 59% on my picks, largely thanks to the sudden change in ability by Washington and Carolina. Who knew they had football players on those teams? Dallas and Atlanta clearly didn’t.

There’s another “good” bet today. And that is Kansas City will cover the 16 point spread as Denver stomps them. Actually the computer says that Kansas City will only lose by 4 points. Not sure I’d actually put money on this either, cause Denver is suddenly near the top of the AFC. Like Washington and Carolina, they have come out of nowhere. Makes me wonder if Tebow was holding them back last year.

I expect Denver will play like Quinn has personally stolen their Superbowl rings and hidden them in his jock strap. And I expect Kansas City will play like Quinn has personally stolen the Denver Superbowl rings and hidden them in his jock strap, and Denver is coming to kill them for it. I expect there will be some scoring by the Denver D.

My take: Continue reading

2012 NFL Week 17 Picks

Spring and The Prince Make Their Picks

How time flies! It’s already the last week of the regular season and my Redskins appear to be going to the playoffs. Wow! Woohoo and all that.

In between the cooking, family dinner, opening presents and Santa coming to visit I made my picks. It has taken the Prince a bit longer to decide who he wants to win in the final weekend. As usual he has made some interesting picks.

Our toss-up game is Houston at Indianapolis. I’m giving the edge to the Colts because they’re playing at home. So I hope they use that to their benefit and win. The Prince is going with the stats and thinks the Texans will pull off the win. Continue reading

2012 NFL Week 16 Results

Spring and the Prince Review The Holiday Weekend

Week 16 falls right before the Christmas Holiday. And it turns out to be a good thing for me! I won 13 out of the 16 games. That’s an 81.2% average for the week. Woohoo. The man-child did better than his average this week as well. He’s typically a good 50% on his picks. But this week he won 9 of the 16 and brings him to a 56.0%. Hey..that 6% is a big deal when you’re 9 years old.

It was also a great weekend if you’re a Redskins fan (like me)! They are the only team in their division that won on Sunday. Sadly they had to beat the Prince’s team, the Eagles, to make that happen. But they did it. And no so sadly New Orleans beat Dallas Yeah!! And Baltimore took care of the Giants. I am surprised that Houston didn’t show up in Minnesota and the Vikings seemingly decimated them. That was a bad game all around. But how did the Jets fall to the Chargers? I don’t get that one.

NFL Weeks 15 and 16

Evil’s Week 15 Results and Week 16 Picks

Turns out that during Week 14 there was a good bet, but the spreads weren’t posted by the time I put up my predictions. The bet was that Oakland would cover the 10 point spread by beating Denver. Well it was a good bet all the way up till they actually played (or in the case of Oakland, not…) the game.

Then likewise there was a good bet that Baltimore would cover the 3 point spread by beating the crap out of Denver. Which goes to prove my rule: Never make bets on the B teams. Baltimore and Buffalo will play fine right up until the moment you put money on them. Then, suddenly, they mimic Oakland.

So imagine my terror as I tell you that the only good bet this week is that Cleveland will cover the 13 point spread versus Denver. I see a terrifying pattern where I lose all my money to a bookie. I guess it’s fortunate I have no money. Continue reading

NFL Week 15 & Week 16

Spring and The Prince Review Their Picks

It was a good week for me, 11 out of 16 games. That’s 68.75% for week. Hey..I’m claiming that .75%! I expected Atlanta to phone it in and instead they showed up with both wings working and pecked the Giants into a shut out. But it wasn’t the only shut out for the week. Wholly cow! I know Tampa isn’t great this year, but even if they missed the plane New Orleans, they were close enough to drive there! Oakland shutting out Kansas City wasn’t that surprising so let’s move on.

My Redskins won! Again. Yeah! Sadly the kid’s Philadelphia Eagles didn’t put up much of a fight against the Bengals. But the big game was on Monday night. Twitter was filled with disparaging remarks about how bad the game was, how bad both teams played. Frankly we went to bed. So I missed the ugliness and woke up seeing a “W” next to my Titans! YES! Continue reading

2012 NFL Week 14 / 15

Spring and The Prince Make Their Picks

Well last week seems to have been a wash out. There were some upsets and some surprises. The Prince and I finished the week in a tie, both of us winning 50% of the games. Not great, but hey we broke even.

Dallas took the week on raw emotion. I have to say as much as I don’t like Dallas, I’m glad they won that game. Very sad situation for them. Wish I could say that for Kansas City. Our sympathies to the family and friends of both teams.

My favorite Nascar Driver Tony Stewart’s team the Indianapolis Colts pulled off a win! And woohoo for my Redskins in OT! On the other hand, what in the world has happened to Atlanta? There’s no way they should have lost that game! But we can’t be too upset about that since Evil was born and raised in Charlotte. His team won so that makes three woohoos! Continue reading

NFL Week 14

Sir Evil Makes His Assessments and Picks

Week 14

The game to watch this week: Houston at the Pats. This game decides which team goes to the Superbowl to beat Atlanta.

I got the bet right on the Dallas game. Sad to say Philly didn’t beat them though. I guess the Dallas fans are out of money now, cause there aren’t any good bets this week.

My take: Continue reading

NFL Week 13 Results & Week 14 Picks

Spring and The Prince Review The Games of the Week

Wasn’t a bad week for me. 10 of 16 games, that’s about 63%. And let me say that’s a better weekly average than some professional commentators and their picks last week. So I’m happy with that. And that’s also my season average so far as well. Not bad for a ‘girl’.  The Prince however, well he’s got some work to do. But one thing he has on his side is loyalty. He’s bound and determined to make his picks by his which animal is bigger method. I’m trying to teach him about statistics and injury reports. He listens, but still goes back to his animal loyalty.

So last week’s results were interesting. I’m ecstatic that my Skins won Monday night against the Giants. And I’m not the only fan who was pleased as punch! One of the Redskins most famous fans was also thrilled to no end. So much so that he even put his emotions into words and it was printed by ESPN with an introduction by Marty Smith. Even if you’re just a fan of the NFL and not a Skins fan, you should still read the article. It captures the emotions of any die-hard fan for their favorite team.
