2010 NFL Season - Week 12

Thursday Games - winning picks in red

New England at Detroit

Cincinnati at NYJets

New Orleans at Dallas

2010 NFL Season - Week 11

Sunday Games - winning picks are in red


Baltimore at Carolina - Baltimore has the upper edge because Carolina's defense is poor, poor, poor

Buffalo at Cincinnati - Buffalo will be taking the sweet smell of victory with them to Cincinnati

Detroit at Dallas - This is the worse time for downtrodden Detroit to be meeting a regenerated Dallas

Cleveland at Jacksonville - Just don't think Jacksonville will be able to withstand Cleveland's punishing playing

Arizona at Kansas City - KC back at home and hopefully will put the 2 road losses behind them

Green Bay at Minnesota - This game will probably be the final nail in Childress and Favres coffin this year

Houston at New York Jets - Jets have been lucky last few games, seems like there not firing on all cylinders and they probably won't need them this week either

Oakland at Pittsburgh - West coast to East coast thingy will not work out for Raiders this year

Washington at Tennessee - Washington is a flop again this year and now even more so because you have a undermotitaving QB with a guaranteed 5 year contract not seeing eye to eye with your coach

Seattle at New Orleans - 2 road wins for Seattle, is this a miracle team in the making?

Tampa Bay at San Francisco - TB out to the west coast although this time to a comfy SF home team

Atlanta at St Louis - St Louis plays very well at home except they just can't seem to get past 20 points

Indianapolis at New England - Since they're my team I wish the COLTS well this game, but damn them injuries are heavy this year...

Sunday Night Game:

New York Giants at Philadelphia - Only hope for NYG is to try and get at Vick, other than that I don't think they will fare well - - BONUS: NYG 29 - Eagles 34

Monday Night Game:

Denver at San Diego - If Denver can start scoring early they might have a chance

2010 NFL Season - Week 10

Sunday Games - winning picks are in red

Detroit at Buffalo - Both team are chomping at the bit for this game to come, can Detroit pull a rabbit out of the hat????

New York Jets at Cleveland - Not sure what is happening but Jets are having defense problems and Cleveland is playing big time football

Minnesota at Chicago - Minnesota has only beaten Detroit, Dallas and Arizona and them were at home

Cincinnati at Indianapolis - Are the Colts injuries finally catching up with them? So far they have been able to withstand the pressure pretty good and at home this week they should hold on one more time

Houston at Jacksonville - Jacksonville will sink at home after two games on the road

Tennessee at Miami - Tennessee road games 29.5 vs 18.2 - Miami home games 19.7 vs 31.7

Carolina at Tampa Bay - Only thing I can say about this match-up is TB can score higher in games at times then Carolina can

Kansas City at Denver - Denver has to loosey goosey of a defense this year

Seattle at Arizona - Seattle on the road still play lousy and even worse in domes

Dallas at New York Giants - Dallas is totally lost, way to much confusion

St Louis at San Francisco - St Louis is becoming another Seattle

Sunday Night Game

New England at Pittsburgh - Grass will help Pittsburgh - - BONUS: NE 18 Pittsburgh 23

Monday Night Game

Philadelphia at Washington - Just seems like Vick will be the upper hand again

Leaning against the Goal Post - Thursday Edition

Well we start Thursday Night Football this week which reminds us that the season is winding down and the big time holidays are coming soon...

Week nine we had: 7 home teams winning, 6 away teams winning, 10 high percentage pick teams winning and 3 underdog teams winning...

Thursday Night Game - winning pick in red

Baltimore at Atlanta - Baltimore scores an avg. of 14.2 pts and allows their opponents to score 15.2 pts on the road. Atlanta scores an avg. of 30.7 pts and allows their opponents to score 18.5 pts at home. An added stat is that Baltimore for some reason turns the ball over more on the road then they do at home...

Catch you all tomorrow with the rest of my picks for the week and enjoy your day, as I watch Wade Phillips look for a new job while leaning against the goal post...

2010 NFL Season - Week 9

Sunday Games - winning picks are in red

Chicago at Buffalo - Buffalo has been on the edge for most of their games, look for Chicago's TOs this week to give Buffalo a win

Miami at Baltimore - Baltimore's defense was weakening a bit before they went on bye so the rest should bring them back

Tampa Bay at Atlanta - TB isn't a bad team but 2 weeks on the road and that hard battle last week against Arizona will takes its toll

New Orleans at Carolina - Does anybody else get the feeling that NO will not play well here this week for some strange reason?

New England at Cleveland - Won't be too easy for NE but easy enough

New York Jets at Detroit - Just want to throw a few stats out for you all: For 2010 season Jets on the road have avg. 31 pts and allowed an avg of 19 pts per game - Lions at home have avg 37.7 pts and allowed an avg of 22 pts per game, Detroit will not be a push-over

San Diego at Houston - Sometimes grass can help a team

Arizona at Minnesota - Through all the troubles Minnesota has had, for the most part they have kept a even keel on offensive pts while Arizona pts go up at home and down on the road

New York Giants at Seattle - Will 2 weeks on the road and against a team that would be in the Superbowl every year if all their games were at home take a little toll on NYG - CORRECTION: The previous statement and Seattle pick to win was based on Hasselbeck playing, with "I haven't tossed a pass in 4 years Whitehurst" playing, it is a far different ending

Kansas City at Oakland - Beware KC, be very aware

Indianapolis at Philadelphia - Vick or no Vick, opponents passing game is what has hampered Philadelphia in many games and who does the Colts have??????

Sunday Night Game -

Dallas at Green Bay - I can't believe Wade Phillips is still coach, JJ must be getting soft in his ol' age - LOL ----- BONUS: Dallas 20 - Green Bay 23

Monday Night Game -

Pittsburgh at Cincinnati - Cincinnati's defense is very porous and more so in last 3 games

Leaning against the Goal Post

I've been slacking for awhile on this post, my last post was OCTOBER 13th

So what has the Neutral Football League been up to as far as pick wise?

Week 6 we had 8 home teams winning, 6 away teams winning, 9 high percentage pick teams winning and 5 underdog teams winning

Week 7 we had 8 home teams winning, 6 away teams winning, 10 high percentage pick teams winning and 4 underdog teams winning

This Week 8 we had 9 home teams winning, 4 away teams winning, 7 high percentage pick teams winning and 6 underdog teams winning

So through the half way mark of the season we find playing at home (68) has a distinct advantage over playing on the road (49). Also it does seem like the public's favorite picked team (68) each week comes out ahead of the underdog teams (50)

For myself I stand at 65 winning picks out of 117 games giving me a mediocre 55% pick average :-(

Yet with all them stats we still have teams sitting with 1 and 6 records that with just a slight turn of events these next 8 weeks and they could actually make it to the playoffs. Go Figure...

Well that is it for this week as I go back watching the circus they call the NFL while leaning against the goal post...
