NFL Week 9

Nov4

Sir Evil’s Analysis

Ah, that’s more like it. Normalcy. Last week I got 6 games and gambling has gone to the dogs. Carolina is still managing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in the last two minutes of the game.

I think Carolina is made of anti-manning because they do the exact opposite of what the Manning boys do in the last two minutes. We’re probably all very lucky that they didn’t make too much contact when the Giants were in town. Had they canceled each other out, the explosion would have been enormous.

My take: Continue reading →

2012 NFL Week 8 Results & 9 Picks

Nov1

Spring and The Prince Share Their Picks

Week 8 Results:

Well it wasn’t a terrible week, but by last years standards it wasn’t great either. At least I ended the week at 50%. And so did The Prince. But let’s start with how in the world did the Vikings get beat by the Buccaneers. At home no less?! I kind of hoped Tennessee would allow their home field advantage carry them through a 2nd week win, but that evidently was simply wishful thinking. The highlight of the week in our house was watching Dallas get beat! Yeah Giants!!! Can’t wait to see that happen again this week in Atlanta. Man those Falcons are good this year. I wish the Saints would wake up and play like the Falcons. They’re a much better team than their scores and attitude are showing. Proof that there’s more mental dexterity than brawn in football I think.

Anyway, here’s our results from last week: Continue reading →

greenbayEvil’s Take on the NFL This Week

If the bug is back, I ain’t fixin’ it. I got 12 of 13 games last week. Too bad the gambling went south, thanks to the horrifying beat downs, the lines were blown away this week.

My take:

2012 Week 7 Results – Week 8 Picks

Spring and The Prince Check The Scores

Well last week wasn’t as bad as the week in the Twilight Zone. I improved my average thankfully. A quick review, I’m ecstatic that my Titans won over Buffalo. I didn’t pick them, but I don’t mind loosing that pick! I’m glad that New Orleans look like they woke up and decided “Hey we’re in the regular season now”. And they must have called Green Bay and told them to hurry up and catch the plane to St. Louis. I honestly didn’t think they’d show up. But I’m glad they did, even though we lost that pick too.

All in all, it looks like a lot of teams that should have been winning this year have decided it’s time to wake up and get to work. Maybe the week in the Twilight Zone scared enough of them that they stopped thinking they’re too good to show up against “lesser” teams and decided they actually have to play against these hungry guys and do what they’re paid to do.

So here’s the results from last week. Even though he was picking from gut feeling last week, the kid didn’t do so bad for someone who doesn’t watch football. Continue reading →

Football In The Twilight Zone
1988 NFL Divisional Playoff Game

Evil Makes his Picks

Well there was a bug in the software, doubt that was why I was making great picks though. Either way I think I fixed it, what with making 6 games and gambling dropping right back to break even.

Usually Twilight Zone week is week 4. Guess Rod Serling was busy that week. Twilight Zone football occurred this year in week 6.

My take on Week 7:

Spring and The Prince Review Last Week & Make Their Picks

Let’s not spend time reviewing last week. It was football in the twilight zone. What in the world happened? How did Cleveland lose to Cincinnati? The Lions really beat the Eagles IN Philly? Say what? And there’s no way Arizona should have lost to Buffalo. Was it a full moon or something? Did the planets align in reverse order? There wasn’t a Friday the 13th. Perhaps the Probability Drive on the Heart Of Gold kicked in and turned the football into a pot of petunias. It was a miserable week in the twilight zone, that’s for sure.

The final result of which is killing my average from last year. The Prince however ended the week at 50%. Not bad for making his picks on gut instinct. He seems to have totally abandoned his method of picking the animal over the non-animal. And the bigger animal over the smaller animal. He still has some commentary about that, but it no longer weighs as heavily on his decision. He still picks from loyalty however. I don’t think he’ll ever pick against his Eagles. He really likes that bird.  Continue reading →

NFL Week 5 Results & Week 6 Picks

Spring and The Prince Results & Picks

Let’s start with the Week 6 Picks:
This week the Prince didn’t seem to stick with his “the bigger animal will win” strategy. He’s going with his gut feeling. And he made his picks before I made mine, so this is going to be interesting, since I know he’s not really up on who is who in the NFL. He’s 9, but he’s also a science/computer geek. Still he’s a pretty smart kid, so we’ll have to see how his intuition holds up.

Now for me, I think the best game of the week is going to be the Giants and 49’ers. It’s only my perspective, but I don’t think it’s a clear win for either side. I do think San Francisco is coming up to their peak, where as the Giants are on the other side of the mountain and we’ll see them in a rebuilding year soon enough. So I’m going with the 49’ers.

When you’re the 4-0 Arizona Cardinals, there’s nothing like stopping by St. Louis so they can remind you that you’re still the Arizona Cardinals, and you are not going to the playoffs.

2012 NFL Picks – Week 5

Oct3

Picks for Spring & the Little Prince

We had a tough time picking some of the games. Some of them seem to be toss ups. The Prince thinks the Colts should pull out a victory at home. I’m not so sure about that, but he had some good reasons. Though I hope this past Sunday’s win for my Skins will give them a confidence boost to take on Atlanta, I don’t think they can pull off a win against the Falcons. And the Prince thinks the Saints have been embarrassed enough to really be mad about now and that emotional energy will garner a win at home.

So here’s our Picks for Week 5 of the 2012 NFL Season..
