NFL Picks Week 17

Making picks for week 17 in the NFL is a little like picking pre-season games. Some teams have everything to play for and would seemingly be “locks”. However, history has taught us that more often than not teams in that situation are “tight”. And showing up to any sporting event “tight” will [...]

NFL Picks Week 16

It appears that there are several teams with “nothing to play for” this week and those respective coaches are planning to rests their players. The list includes:

Arizona – Right, they’re locked into the #4 seed in the NFC and it’s appropriate for them to rest, since they’ve played a grueling schedule this year. [...]

Fantasy Football – Final Four Predictions

I am still alive in three of my five fantasy leagues. Since there are twenty teams left in my five leagues I thought it would be interesting to do a breakdown of the teams left and the individual players left on each team.
First off, the cross-over teams:

Fearsome Foursome – five teams, made the playoffs in [...]

Week 15 NFL Picks – Part II

I jumped back on the “50 over” bandwagon this week after rolling to a 14-2 record last weekend. It’s a total long shot, but if I could 44-4 I am right there. Yea, right! But last week did two things for me – 1. I am primed for the playoffs and 2. Secured a better [...]

Week 15 Picks – Part I

Chicago -3 over New Orleans – New Orleans is the classic Jekyll & Hyde team, with Mr. Hyde showing up on the road. I just can’t see the Saints having what it takes on go on the road, in the cold and come away with a win. And you don’t beat Kyle Orton at home [...]

Week 14 NFL Picks – Part II

Mediocrity has set in with back-to-back 8-8 weeks and I am still one game under .500.
This week: 1-0

Indianapolis -13.5 over Cincinnati – You know what just went public this week – the fact that the Colts have won six straight games by six points or less. Something is definitely wrong in Indy, but they should [...]

Fantasy Playoff Predictions – Week 1

The fantasy playoffs begin for my five leagues this weekend and I am fortunate enough to be in the playoffs in all five. In my five leagues there are six other owners who cross over in multiple leagues, only one owner made the playoffs in each league and that was a mere two leagues. [...]

NFL Picks Week 14 – Thursday Game

San Diego -9.5 over Oakland – I was ready to jump on the Raiders ability to shut down the Chargers and win this game out-right, then I remembered that the Raiders haven’t beaten the Chargers in like 100 years and this is the Chargers swan song, a primetime game at home with a chance to [...]
