It’s my annual football sabbatical weekend! Every year I take one weekend completely off from football due to the draining nature of the sport. Right now, you’re thinking to yourself “you have got to be kidding me, suck it up wuss!” That’s fair enough, but the reality the NFL teams don’t play [...]

NFL Week 8 Picks
I will be honest this week had me completely befuddled. And to think last week, I thought I was on top of the gambling world. Just goes to show how quickly it can go, when you get a lucky cover because of a defensive touchdown (confidence is waning but hey, I won) on [...]

NFL Week 7 Picks
Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like the head coaches in the NFL are getting stupider by the second. I think I am going to have to put together a column to commemorating the piss-poor coaching in the NFL. And to think these guys all make $1 million plus dollars, well except [...]

The Caveman is on vacation exploring new technologies like the microwave and remote control, but he still managed to put together a quick version of the week 6 picks.
As always the lines from the Hard Rock Casino and are courtesy of covers.com.
Games I love:
Houston +5 (Cincinnati) – This will be a huge letdown week for [...]

NFL 2009 – Week 5 Picks
I am still befuddled at this whole Brett Favre with the Vikings thing. From what I can gather after talking to several Packer fans and listening to the media coverage, most Packer fans are “ok” seeing Favre in Viking purple.
This is most perplexing to me, since the closest I could come to a personal [...]

NFL 2009 – Week 4 Picks
Flashback to last Sunday morning and there is a knock at my door. I open the door and find an attractive package sitting on my welcome mat. I open the package to find a felt bag and a cell phone. The cell phone had a sticky note attached to it that reads [...]

NFL 2009 – Week 2 Picks
Last week was “obscure player touchdown week”. What will week two in the 2009 NFL season bring us? Given the potential piss poor weather conditions forecasted in half of the games, we might see more defensive touchdowns/field goals than touchdowns. You have to love the NFL!
I got off to a nice start [...]

2009 NFL Week 1 Picks Part II
The NFL season hasn’t started until you’ve been destroyed by the “biggest no brainer” of the season. The good news – every game has the potential to be the “game of the year”.
The first two weeks in the NFL the odds-makers are learning just like the wise-guys, so there can be big opportunities to [...]

Dallas – Predicting the Cowboys to win the division with Wade Phillips as their coach is a little like jumping out of an airplane with an un-tested parachute. So why bother, right? Well, the absence of TO should help Romo be more comfortable as a quarterback and he will no longer [...]

New England – I fully expect New England to be back on the “running it up” tour and to carry around the “us against the world” mantra. Brady will be tentative and the defense will be suspect, but they still have the best talent in the league and the schedule is [...]
