I thought I was going to have a perfect 3-0 record last week. Dallas rolled over Cleveland in the “Lock”, just as everyone on the planet expected. Oakland disposed of Denver in the “Game”, just as I called. In fact, I was only off on the final score by three points! All I needed was […]


Okay, so it took until week 5, but I’ve finally got my second wind. After struggling around .500 for the first few weeks, I finally picked an upset correctly and finished 3-0 for the week. So do I feel confident that all is well and I’m finally figuring out this great entertainment machine that we […]


Picking winners in the first week of an NFL season is usually about as easy as guessing how many marbles can fit into a five-gallon jug. The best you can do is offer up an educated guess and hope you’re not too far off. Well this season is no different. There were several upsets along […]


If you’re anything like me, congratulations. But you’re also sick to death of all of the preseason predictions for divisional winners, conference winners and even Super Bowl winners. They began pouring in just after last February’s Super Bowl, and they haven’t stopped since. The idea that anyone, with any degree of credibility and accuracy, can […]


This year’s championship game will be featuring two of the best quarterbacks in the league squaring off against each other, with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. It should be a great game. Oh yeah, Brady and Manning will face off again in the other conference’s final. Yawn!! That’s right folks, the […]


Now that we’re finished with the wildcard round of football, it’s time to start paying more attention. Before you get too hot and heavy about that opening remark, let me clarify things for you.  I’m not implying that the wildcard round didn’t mean anything or that it wasn’t exciting football.  It just means that it […]


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 […]


Okay, I’m instituting a new rule.  From now on (or at least for this week), this column will no longer prognosticate games that involve the New England Patriots or the Arizona Cardinals. Regardless of whether I pick them to win or lose, they always seem to do the exact opposite from what I predict they […]


This weekend’s schedule offers up a lot of potential great games.  With the playoffs fast approaching, many teams are playing for their life already. This should be a prognosticator’s dream, right?  Riiiiiiiight!  (A little Dr. Evil humor there.) Life on this side of the keyboard is so much easier when there are only a couple […]


Okay, so last week wasn’t exactly a prognosticator’s dream.  The NFL schedule yielded more than a handful of upsets. Unfortunately, the impact of the week’s results was felt here, too.  Not only was my Upset of the Week a disaster (I know, why in world did I think Atlanta would figure things out against Seattle?), […]
