Week 8 - 2009 Season

Good Day to you all, late on getting this up this week had a light touch of flu this week, just enough to make you sit there with enough energy to act like a zombie and just go through the motions.

Last week I went 9 for 13 - making me 61 out of 102 games. Why I picked Cleveland over GB last week will be a mystery for the ages.

There was 3 upsets last week - which brings the weekly upset avg. to 4.42 upset games a week so far.

Last week 2 of the 4 teams with week 6 byes won which brings that total to: 8 out 12 teams with previous byes win the following week...

TEAMS IN RED ARE MY PICKS TO WIN:

Denver at Baltimore - Denver is rising while Baltimore is wondering

Houston at Buffalo - Houston can play or they can watch, Buffalo can play or they can watch

Cleveland at Chicago - As the song from the Drew Cary show use to say 'Cleveland Rocks' yeah right, not this year...

Seattle at Dallas - Seattle is just a poor travel team, always has been

St Louis at Detroit - Could be the surprise game of week, hopefully Detroit finds a way to win and not the opposite

San Francisco at Indianapolis - Come on it's the COLTS

Miami at New York Jets - More than likely Miami will again razzle dazzle the Jets

New York Giants at Philadelphia - Hopefully Giants find themselves this week against a team whose win record has been built against poor teams. (Giants 28 - Eagles 24)

Jacksonville at Tennessee - In my book Fisher doesn't care anymore but he will post a win this week

Oakland at San Diego - Unless a another Philadelphia miracle happens SD should pull it out

Carolina at Arizona - Carolina will play tough but Arizona has the tools to overcome

Minnesota at Green Bay - If you look at their game list you'll see that both teams have not played any good teams with the exception last week of the Minn/Pitts. which Minn. lost.

Atlanta at New Orleans - WOW! what a come from behind victory last week for NO. Should continue winning ways this week also but hey, ANY GIVEN SUNDAY!

Looking at my picks I have 5 upsets this week so we will see...

Week 7 - 2009 Season

Well stinky poo and all of that smelly stuff - I went 6 for 14 last week, jeez I could have done better if I would have just thrown darts at the game list... With last weeks total I now stand at 52 right out of 89 games for about 58% picking avg.

We also had 5 upsets last week, which is where the key lies. The trouble being trying to pick week after week which teams will be upsetting who?

Also last week 2 of the 4 teams with week 5 byes won which brings that total to: 6 out 8 teams with previous byes win the following week...

Teams in RED are my picks to win this week...

Green Bay @ Cleveland

San Francisco @ Houston

Chicago @ Cincinnati

San Diego @ Kansas City

Minnesota @ Pittsburgh

COLTS @ St. Louis

New Eng. vs Tampa Bay in London

Buffalo @ Carolina

N Y Jets @ Oakland

Atlanta @ Dallas

New Orleans @ Miami

Arizona @ N Y Giants - Sunday Night (Giants 33 - Arizona 29)

Philadelphia @ Washington - Monday Night

My upsets winners for this week are San Francisco, Cleveland & Dallas

Be seeing you, Knobby

Week 6 - 2009 Season

Two weeks in a row now I have run 50% on picks which gives me a total for season so far 46 out 75 about 60% avg. Fair at best, but its been fun!

Lets see if I can do better this week - - -


Teams in RED are my picks to win:

First off let me say I'm going to try a experiment here with my picks. Like I stated in Tuesdays Tid-Bit post all the teams that had a week 4 bye won in week 5 no matter whether they were at home or away so that being the case, my first 4 picks to win this week are those who had last week off:

Detroit @ Green Bay

N Y Giants @ New Orleans

Chicago* @ Atlanta - Sunday Nite (Chi. 23 - Atl. 21)

Denver @ San Diego* - Monday Nite

Rest of my picks for week:

Houston @ Cincinnati

St. Louis @ Jacksonville

Baltimore @ Minnesota

Cleveland @ Pittsburgh

Carolina @ Tampa Bay*

K. C. @ Washington

Phil. @ Oakland

Arizona @ Seattle

Tenn. @ N. Eng.

Buffalo @ N. Y. Jets

So there you have it and as you see I'm predicting 3 upsets * this week

Tuesday NFL Tid-Bits

Thought I would try something new here and do a post on Tuesdays with little Tid-Bits of information that I come across on the wires.

First off let me say that again I went 7 out of 14 this week in picks - but being more of a risk taker on picks than the avg person I am bound to be low some weeks when the magic football ring is not in my possession.


Tid-Bit #1 - All the teams that had a bye in week 4 won in week 5 no matter whether they played at home or away.

Tid-Bit #2 - After 5 weeks of play we've had 44 home wins, 32 away wins, 52 high % wins & 23 low % wins.

Tid-Bit # 3 - Rumors are running wild as to Terrell Owens could get traded to the Bears or anybody for a Mid-round draft pick & Tony Dungy could go back to the Bucs.

Week 5 - 2009 Season

OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!

Shooting for the stars last week and didn't even reach the moon - OUCH!

Ended up with 7 correct out of 14 games giving me a total on the season of 39 out of 61 games...

Upsets: Week 1 - we had 3 upsets, Week 2 - we had 8 upsets, Week 3 - we had 3 upsets. Last week I predicted 5 upset games and there was 3. This week I am predicting 3 upset games

So moving on to this weeks picks;

TEAMS IN RED ARE MY PICKS TO WIN


Cincinnati @ Baltimore - Ravens SHOULD handle this one

Cleveland @ Buffalo - Cleveland has no defense, Buffalo although hurting should pull it out.

Washington @ Carolina - 2 poor teams but when all said and done Washington will walked away with victory.

Pittsburgh @ Detroit - HAHAHAHAHAHA Detroit will battle like the devil 1st half and then implode amongst themselves in 2nd...

Dallas @ K C - Dallas score wise has been working backwards from game 1, KC has been even steven but still no cigar. PS: If by chance Dallas loses look to the south and watch the bright red rocket shooting towards the sky with Coach Phillips on it...

Oakland @ N Y G - With or without Eli, Oakland is poor competition for Giants

T B @ Phildelphia - McNabb and Westbrook should be back and TB lost to Washington, nothing else to say...

Minnesota @ St.Louis - The Farve circus will make the Arch look like a side show in a carnival...

Atlanta @ S Fran. - This will be a GOOD game, look for close score but Singletarys men will be best.

Houston @ Arizona - Both teams have problems and as much as I like Warner, I'm afraid Houston will out score him and his playmates.

N. Eng. @ Denver - Is there snow in Denver? This game will prove whether Denver is real or not. Last week it looked like Dallas did themselves in more then Denver beat them.

Jacksonville @ Seattle - Jacksonville is improving each week, Seattle even with players coming back they are not healthy.

Sunday night game: COLTS @ Tenn. What did I say last week? (COLTS 27 - Tenn. 17)

Monday night game: N Y Jets @ Miami - 2nd week on road for Jets and Miami looked hot last week at home.

Week 4 - 2009 Season

First off let me state this: NEVER EVER GO AGAINST YOUR MOST FAVORITE TEAM NO MATTER WHO TELLS YOU WHAT! NEVER EVER! Ok got that out of the way...

I was 10 for 16 last week which puts me 32 right out of 47 games but that's what you get when you pick the wrong upset teams each week and you just know there are going to be upsets every week. Week 1 - we had 3 upsets, Week 2 - we had 8 upsets and last week we had 3 upsets. This week I am predicting 5 upset games.

Teams in RED are my picks to win this week

First the no-brainer picks:

Cincinnati @ Cleveland

Oakland @ Houston

Seattle @ COLTS

NY Giants @ Kansas City

St Louis @ San Francisco

Second, lets go with very well could happen picks:

Baltimore @ New England - Balt. still a good defense and now they have added a offense. NE has not been protecting Brady well enough.

And Sunday nights game - San Diego @ Pittsburgh - Pitts. is down in the dumps this year and SD has been scoring well. For my pick the pro players: (SD 24 - Pittsburgh 20)

Lastly the will they or won't they picks:

Detroit @ Chicago - Going with Detroit b/c their flying high right now and stats are showing their putting more pts. on board then Chicago

Tennessee @ Jacksonville - Jacksonville played real well last week, their at home and Tenn. is not a good playing away team.

Tampa Bay @ Washington - Does DC have a team or are they just politicians dress in football gear?

Buffalo @ Miami - This is going to be a tough as nails game for anyone to predict. Close as butter on bread but I favor Buffalo by ever so slim of pts.

N Y Jets @ New Orleans - Jets are good for some reason this year and they will put on a good tough show but I'm looking at Mr. Brees to win out in the end.

Dallas @ Denver - Good defense for Denver but Dallas has more tools

And Monday Night Game - Green Bay @ Minnesota - Will Bretts luck hold out longer or will GBs defense come to life? I'm betting on GBs defense coming alive...
