Evil Covers The Weekend In Playoffs

The boys in Vegas must be confused, they seem to think that just because Denver can stomp Kansas City into the dirt that they can do that to Baltimore. There’s a key difference between Baltimore and Kansas City: Baltimore has actual professional football players on their team. You know the kinda guy I’m talking about, that guy who can say quietly “Sit down.” during a bar fight and turn the fight into a game of musical chairs. Denver will eek by today.

Time to see if Green Bay are genii. The computer says that San Francisco will be even tougher now, and will win by 4.

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

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.

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 →

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.

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 →

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 →
