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 […]


By now, Bears fans everywhere should be hoping that I pick the lowly team from Chicago to lose. This season, that simple act has guaranteed victory for da’ Bears every time. Sorry Bears fans. I’m not touching that piece of &%$# team again this season! On paper, they should be walking away with their division. […]


At this point in the season, I’m looking for anything positive to grab hold of. After picking perfectly for three or four weeks, I seem to have fallen into a funk lately, especially in the Upset category. So when I found a glimmer of hope, I grabbed it. I have finally found a trend that […]


Last week was one for the record books. The Redskins start their third string QB and beat the Cowboys on the road and the Saints decided to finally play some football and ran over (literally) the Packers, handing me a loss in the Lock and the Upset categories. The only one I got right was […]


My ego took a bruising last week, dropping two of my three picks, thanks to the NFC East remaining as unpredictable as ever. Maybe I’ll give that division a week off for bad behavior. I’m not sure things will improve this week, though. Have you looked at the schedule? I don’t see any of the […]


Okay, that’s more like it! A perfect 3-0 on the week. In fact, I actually got 14 out of 16 correct for the entire NFL schedule, so I’m feeling pretty good. It doesn’t mean that I’m necessarily an expert (key word – necessarily), but simply reinforces my firm belief that the first two weeks of […]


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 […]


Once again, New England kept me from a perfect record last week.  You’d think by now I’d learn to keep them out of my picks.  But nooooooooo!  (A little Belushi humor, there!)  So I guess the safe thing to do would be to stay as far from the Patriots as I can this week.  That […]


Here I was, eagerly anticipating another 3-0 week.  I was feeling a bit cocky after correctly picking the Browns to upset the Ravens.  All I needed was a Packer home victory over the visiting Bears and I had it. Then, in a flash, it was over.  My perfect record for the week was smashed when […]


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 […]
