I’ve decided to bring back a weekly post this season, after putting it on hold last season. Okay let’s be real, I put the entire blog on hold for the last year or so. But I’m back with new energy, and so is the “Games of the Week”. Each week I will pick one game […]


Wow, what an off-season. I can’t remember the last time I’d seen so many players taken out of service before the season even started. And I’m only talking about the arrests and suspensions! Add in all of the trades and injuries, and you’d be hard pressed to find any team with the same starting lineup […]


Well I’m kind of on a losing streak with my “Upset” picks, which is preventing me from having perfect 3-0 weeks.  So after I made my picks this week, I quickly checked them against the experts and found that four of them were considered upsets. So how do I approach the games this week?  I […]


Once again, we have found ourselves with three games to enjoy on Thanksgiving.  And once again, they fit nicely (sort of) into the three categories. The Pilgrims would have been proud!   This week’s Lock of the Week (10-2). The good news is I don’t have to decide on Tennessee or Kansas City, the only […]


Wow!  Talk about a roller coaster last week.  In a matter of minutes, I went from a 1-2 week to a 3-0 week, thanks to collapses by the Cowboys and the Steelers. In all honesty, I shouldn’t be all that surprised.  The Steelers are a mere shell of the mighty teams they have put together […]


Well, all good things eventually have to come to an end.  After two perfect weeks, my picks blew up on me last week.  The “Lock” was the only one I got right. I guess I should go with the sure things this week, just to make sure I get back on track. Naah!  I can’t […]


Here we go again.  The first week of projections, I wasn’t very good.  Last week, I was sweating it early, but finished up okay (not great), with two out of three correct. If I had only trusted my gut, and not been afraid of being called a homer for picking the Cardinals, I would have […]


Predicting the winner of the Super Bowl is not an easy task.  Most people would back me up on that.  You can analyze the teams to death and still not come up with the right conclusion. Personally, I quit placing any kind of wagers on the big game more than two decades ago because I […]


First of all, let’s acknowledge that last week’s divisional round lived up to expectations.  It was full of exciting, hard-hitting football with lots of big plays. Okay, so I only picked two out of four games correctly.  I’m okay with that.  The two games I missed were both decided on the final play of the […]


I know, that’s a pretty bold statement, considering some of the divisional round matchups over the past few years.  But let me ask you a question.  When was the last time you saw all four games in this round that could very easily be won by either team? Usually there are one or two games […]
