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.

Evil’s Picks

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.

My take for week 5:

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..

2012 NFL Picks – Week 4 Results

Results For Spring & The Little Prince

It wasn’t a bad weekend after all. My skins won, my Titans won, the kids Eagles won and the cowboys lost in spectacular fashion and it doesn’t get much better than that. But it did! The regular/professional refs were back in full swing and man did it show. There were one or two ..um..interesting calls, but I think things generally worked out in the end. And they were certainly a whole lot better than the replacement refs.

I ended the weekend on a high note, picking both the Sunday and Monday night games correctly. The Prince and his method didn’t work so well for him. But he’s happy his Eagles won against the Giants.

Here are our results for week 4. Not bad…not bad at all (well for me anyway). Continue reading →

Evil’s Picks

Due to the epic struggle to close one bad business and start the next one, I’ve been too busy to worry with the NFL. So now to keep my sanity from all the spreadsheets and document mining I’ve been doing, I’m making my football picks. Of course, that involves a lot of document mining and spreadsheets.

Hmm… keeping the sanity might be a lost cause.

Here’s the up to date stats/picks. Continue reading →

Spring & The Prince Make Their First Picks Of The Season

The Prince and I are a little behind in getting our picks posted for this week. Last week was miserable for me with 7 wins and 9 losses. But the Prince’s method of choosing the bigger animal to win served him well and he ended the week with 11 wins and 5 losses. But this week the regular refs are back so we’ll have to wait and see how he does.

Our picks for this week are:

Android App Review

Samsung Galaxy Nexus

A Long, Continually Running Android App Review

It’s only been a few weeks since I upgraded my phone to a Galaxy Nexus, but I’m already an app addict. I’ve tried out a number of different apps that offer the same service and made comparisons between this and that. I try to do some research on the apps before I download them. Read the reviews and consider how many people are using the app and the over comments. But even then, you can end up with an app that simply doesn’t do what you want it to do and you have to start over.

I’m a retired IT geek, but I’m by no means a professional software critic or reviewer. I simply know what I like and as a Mom with a busy schedule. I get to stay at home and write articles and books. So what I need may not be the same thing as what a professional workaholic requires.

So these are simply what I like and what I’ve learned about the apps that do what I need them to do. I should mention these are not in any particular order. Continue reading →
