Out for the season

2010-10-10T10:52:00.001-07:00

You know how when a player gets a bad knee injury, like Brady or Welker, and they’re out for the season? Think of it like that. There are so many reasons why going forward with making picks is not a good idea for me right now. Really, it’s simply outside the realm of ability.

So for now, my season is over, for all intents and purposes. I am hopeful though, that next season will be a winning one for me. :)

And you can always come visit on my regular blog, The Ness in DarcNess. :)

Thank you, and God Bless. :)

NFL Football Week 1 2010 Picks UPDATES

2010-09-15T21:52:00.001-07:00

UPDATES: Well, I missed a total of 5 games. That’s not too bad, a 70% success rate.

UPDATES: For some reason, I listed the Giants twice, including in tonight’s game against the Cowboys. I must be on drugs or something, because I meant to put the Redskins in that slot, and I meant to list the Cowboys as being the victors in that game.

Stupid Cowboys.

***

Wow, so far it sure doesn’t pay to be the visiting team, unless you’re the Dolphins! Can you believe the Colts lost their first game of the season? When was the last time that happened?

2010-09-10T13:11:00.001-07:00

Well we’re off to a rousing start for the 2010 season! And as usual, I missed the 1st game. Don’t know why but that always seems to sneak up on me. I would have picked Saints, and I’m glad they won. Basically it looks like a replay of the NFC Conference Championship game.

Are you ready? Football’s back!

Doggone, I can’t remember the scores from the games this weekend! I know who won though and the Superbowl is going to be awesome. I heard on TV that there haven’t been 2 #1 seeds in the Superbowl since 1993.

And what a big deal for the Saints! First time in franchise history! So a big congratulations to them! Way to go, guys!

Congratulations to the Colts too. 2nd time in, what, 4 years? So that’s pretty special too.

Well, it’s the last of the playoff games of the season. After Sunday, it’s waiting for the Superbowl. I have felt, for several weeks now, that it would be the Saints – Colts in the big dance, and I still feel that way going into this final countdown. Last week the games I thought would be nail-biters ended up being lopsided massacres and I was wrong more than I was right. But this week – this week I think I’m going to nail it 100%. On the plus side.

You know, I fretted a great deal shortly before the Cardinals – Saints game on Saturday. I almost changed my pick to the Cardinals. I decided not to, but I realize now I probably should have, just so I could have the distinction of being 100%.

WRONG.

On every. single. pick. AAARRRRGGGGHHH!

Maybe I’ll hit that magic 100% next week, eh? There’s always hope. :roll:

Divisional Playoffs

2010-01-15T13:12:00.001-08:00

This is when footballs gets really exciting, because teams pull out all the stops to win. I know a lot of people are looking at me funny for picking the Ravens over the Colts, but here's why. The Colts don’t seem to do very well after a bye in the playoffs. It’s not their strength. They just seem to wilt after too much rest. So I think the Ravens are poised to take advantage of that. These teams are like polar opposites – Ravens strong on the rush, Colts strong on the pass. This game is going to be a nail biter, I think. But in the end, I think the Ravens will prevail. Perhaps not by much but in football, a win is a win and a loss goes home.

Cardinals – I love you guys, but I just don’t think you’ll be able to keep the Saints offense from winning.

I just think the Cowboys are a better team than the Vikings. Sorry Bob!

Same with the Jets and Chargers.

NFL Football Week 17 2009 Picks UPDATES

2010-01-03T13:23:00.001-08:00

It’s the last series of games of the regular season. Then come the play-offs when the real fun begins. Some teams are already in the bag, but there are a few still fighting here. For a more complete picture of who’s still in the hunt, check out the play-off picture on NFL.com.

UPDATES: Well, no real surprises I suppose. I was sorta hoping my beloved Patriots would end the season with a win, but it was not to be. Praying for Welker.

I also thought the Saints would try to end on a win, make a statement of some sort. Not.

And the Browns? I guess Mangini was fighting for his job a bit harder than I gave him credit for. Ugh.

Coach carousel begins tonight and tomorrow so that’s going to be fun.

UPDATES: Cardinals, what the heck happened??

And I guess the Eagles aren’t the team they were purported to be. “Oh, they’re so great in the 2nd half, so explosive!” Yadda yadda yadda. Yeah. Explosively blanked.

Broncos, you asked for that.

I’m 9/15, with only 1 game left in the season. Hmm.

UPDATES: Oh my gosh, blanked in the last game of the season! How humiliating! Even if you really had nothing to play for, you could have at least made an effort, Bengals!

So, I end the season at 9/16. That gives me a collective season total of 159/249. That’s 90 losses all season long and an average week for me looked like 9.35/14.65. Not horrible, but not great either. Still, it’s better than 50/50 so I can live with that.

Teams with 1 win: Rams.

NFL Football Week 16 2009 Picks UPDATES

2009-12-27T13:54:00.001-08:00

UPDATES: It just goes to show that anything can happen in the last couple of weeks of the regular season. Teams are in the playoff hunt, and anything can happen – like the Bucs beating the Saints in OT. Wow! Whoda thunk?

The Patriots and Bengals have now clinched their divisions.

UPDATES: The Colts lost? *thud* Well well well. I call foul on that one. The fans deserved a win. They deserved to see their team play, and win a game they should have won.

And the Bears took down Favre and the Vikings in OT?? Well blow me down again! I’m bummed about losing my pick, but oh boy I love to see Favre lose! So I count it as a personal win, even though it’s a stats loss. I can live with that. :) And I end the next to last week of the regular season at 9/16. Blech.

And so ends the last game of the year.

Teams with 1 win: Rams.
Teams with 0 losses: Colts.

NFL Football Week 15 2009 Picks UPDATES

2009-12-17T20:36:00.001-08:00

Well now. Did anyone really think the Colts were going to lose?

UPDATES: Just an FYI – the Bears/Ravens game time has been changed due to inclement weather, to 4:15 pm.

UPDATES: WOW! Did you see that? What a game! And the Saints fall out of the undefeated zone to the Cowboys.

UPDATES: Looks like the 49ers/Eagles game was also changed to 4:15 as well. So far I’m 5/8, so not doing so hot. Maybe the later games will redeem me?

UPDATES: Goodness, was that a game or what? Looked for sure like the Steelers were going down again, but they pulled it out in the final seconds of the game and beat the Pack. But I suck – only 8/14 so far, barely over 50%. *sigh* Good for the Bucs though, for getting themselves off the “only 1 win” list. :)

UPDATES: Well, I hate losing a pick, but it’s always such a pleasure to see Favre go down that it’s pretty much worth it. :)

UPDATES: Well, I guess it could be worse than 9/16, right?

Teams with 1 win: Rams, ~~Buccaneers~~.
Teams with 0 losses: ~~Saints~~, Colts.

NFL Football Week 14 2009 Picks UPDATES

2009-12-10T22:54:00.001-08:00

Oh. My. Gosh! What is UP with the Steelers? They’ve let me down the last 5 games, and I thought for sure against the Browns … for sure! I mean, it’s the Browns! Wow. But, although I do love me some Big Ben and some Troy, I’m not what you’d call a Steelers fan. And although I hate Mangini with a red, white, and silver passion, I am happy for the Browns fans. They’ve been on the losing end a lot lately so I’m sure this win felt pretty good to them. Warm too! Dang that game was cold!

However, this does not bode well for the rest of my football week.

UPDATES: Not a bad start to the week, just one loss in the early games so no real surprises there. I was hoping the Bengals would take down the Vikings though – they seem to be on a real streak lately. Oh well.

UPDATES: What an intense game up there between the Eagles and Giants! That leaves me 12/15 so far for the week, so I’m pretty happy about that. Could be loads worse!

UPDATES: Stupid Cardinals. I end the week at 12/16.

Teams with 1 win: ~~Browns~~, Rams, Buccaneers.
Teams with 0 losses: Saints, Colts. Both have clinched their divisions.

Sorry for the incomplete post – I’ll finish it up tonight or tomorrow. For now I wanted to at least get tonight’s pick up before the game. I’m pretty confident the Steelers will be able to take down the Browns tonight, even without Troy there to help.

Okay, all done. We’ll see how I do the rest of the week.

“Franchise of the Decade”

2009-12-08T15:13:00.001-08:00

Caught this article in my Reader and wanted to say Congratulations to my beloved Patriots! Way to go, guys!

Sports Illustrated honors Patriots with “Franchise of the Decade” tag, among other honors

We asked the question early in the preseason. It was part of our special section. And Sports Illustrated answered.

The national publication just released its awards for the past decade, and the Patriots are all over it. It is written by respected reporter @Si_peterking.

You can read it all right here.

Want a quick sample of the Patriots honors?

– Franchise of the decade.

– Bill Belichick is coach of the decade.

– The 2007 Patriots are the best single-season game, Super Bowl or not.

– The deal for Randy Moss was the trade of the decade.

– In this All-Decade team, Moss and Mike Vrabel are among those selected with Pats ties.

– Lots of other stuff.

Oh, it’s never a good sign when I lose the very 1st game out of the gate.

UPDATES: Who would’ve thought the Redskins could take the Saints into OT? Not me!

And what is UP with the Patriots and the Steelers this season?

UPDATES: Ugh! Didn’t do so well on those afternoon games! So far I’m only 9/14 and there’s only 2 games left this week.

UPDATES: Woo! They did it! The Cardinals took down ol’ #4 and the Vikings! I will gladly take the hit to my stats for that sweet victory!

UPDATES: The Packers held off the Ravens at Lambeau. Whoda thunk? I so suck this week, only made 9 of 16, barely better than half.

2009-11-26T20:23:00.001-08:00

As Meatloaf once said, 2 outta 3 ain’t bad. Hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful. :)

UPDATES: I feel bad for Rams fans – I heard their game was blacked out. I don’t blame them though, they haven’t had much to support this year. Or last year either.

Do you ever get the feeling the refs are in the bag for the Colts? Seems like calls are always going in their favor. Makes you wonder if they win because they’re that good, or if it’s just because the officials want them to.

UPDATES: Wow! Did you see that last second catch by the Titans? Wow! What a game! Wish I could have seen the whole thing and not just the highlights.

UPDATES: Another OT game – and what a game it was!

UPDATES: I’m not watching the game I’m not watching the game I’m not … oh snap. :(

Well. That makes me 10/16 for the week.

NFL Football Week 12 2009 Picks

2009-11-24T20:35:00.001-08:00

Yeah, I picked the Ravens against the Steelers. With Troy out, and all the injuries they’ve sustained, and Big Ben coping with a concussion, I just don’t think they can win this week.

As for picking the Pats over the undefeated Saints – g’head, call me crazy. The Patriots are the one team I am totally biased toward. So you can always take my Pats picks with a grain of salt, because I always pick ‘em. I’d rather take the hit to my stats than pick against my team, and that’s just how I roll. :)

2009-11-19T20:48:00.001-08:00

Hey! One for the win column! Even if it is the Dolphins. That’s a nice way to start the week. :)

UPDATES: Guess being the home team didn’t have much advantage in the early games. The Falcons almost pulled it off for me. Almost. Doesn’t count in football though, dang! And can you believe the Chiefs pulled off a win like that against the Steelers? I can’t either. Lots of cheering going on in Kansas City tonight, I’m sure.

UPDATES: Whew! We won! Now my Sunday is complete. :) I sure didn’t expect the Broncos to get skunked like that though, and I didn’t expect the Raiders to pull one out over the Bengals either. Wow.

UPDATES: Smackdown in Chicago! And boy, nothing like seeing Devin Hester get pantsed on live TV. Poor Devin! He must be so em-bare-assed. Butt really Devin, you have nothing to be ashamed of. :D

UPDATES: Oh ouch! Missed it by that much! Texans lose with just a few seconds left in the game, by a missed field goal. Otherwise they could have tied it up and gone into OT and had a chance to win there. Oh well. I end the week at 11/16. Not great, but not nearly as bad as last week.

Well. I’m off to an inauspicious beginning this week. Hmph. Let’s hope it’s not an indication of things to come!

UPDATES: I guess the Bengals have spoken, huh? They pulled a fast one on me, and apparently the Steelers, too.

And the Broncos? What happened? The ‘skins beat you?

And where did those Titans come from?

Lots of surprises in WK 10 – which doesn’t bode well for me for the remaining games!

UPDATES: I. Suck. 5/13 so far this week. Ugh.

UPDATES: Apparently my upstairs neighbors are Colts fans. Or just anti-Patriots fans. :( *sigh*

UPDATES: I just want to hug the Browns fans. I’m so sorry you guys. I know it hurts. For what it’s worth, we hate Mangini in our house, too.

And I end this week on a dismal 6/15. *groan*

UPDATES: Wow, the Chargers pulled it out in the final seconds of the game to beat the Giants.

Hmph, just 2 out of 4 for the afternoon games. I’m losing my touch!

UPDATES: Goodness, in the remaining 6 games this week I only got 50%. That sucks! If only I’d gotten my picks in on time I’d be 9/13, instead of 3/6. Oh well. I’ll simply have to do better this week, and get things posted by Wednesday. Thursday games are coming!

Don’t forget, Thursday games start this week on NFL network!

Sorry – I had a lot going on this week and wasn’t able to get the early games picks up in time. Without looking at any stats (and I haven’t been watching any games) I can tell you who I would have picked – but I won’t count any of the early games in my stats.

Here’re my picks for the later games though.

Teams with 0 wins: Buccaneers.
Teams with 0 losses: Saints, Colts.

NFL Football Week 8 2009 Picks UPDATES

2009-11-01T13:45:00.001-08:00

UPDATES: Well, I guess 5/8 isn’t awful … but it’s not great either. Did anyone really expect the Eagles to spank the Giants like that? Wow! And the Broncos going down, to the Ravens? I honestly didn’t think the Ravens had it in them to beat an undefeated team. I seriously didn’t expect the Dolphins to take down the Jets either, but those runs, did you see Ginn on those runs? Awesome! Even if I do hate the Dolphins, that guy sure made football pretty today!

I heard Favre got booed in Green Bay today. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy, heheheh. :)

UPDATES: Oh my, 2 teams who’d gone into this week without a win both scored one in the W column. Congratulations to the Rams and the Titans. And I’m 7/12. Ugh!

UPDATES: The Falcons really made a game of it! It was fun to watch and a nail-biter through some parts, but the Saints pulled it out and remain 1 of the 2 remaining undefeated teams. Congratulations guys!

Teams with 0 wins: ~~Titans~~, Buccaneers, ~~Rams~~.

NFL Football Week 7 2009 Picks UPDATES

2009-10-25T13:19:00.001-07:00

UPDATES: Woo! What a great feeling! All my early picks won, and Brett Favre lost! What a great way to start Football Sunday!

UPDATES: How ‘bout those Saints?! Betcha didn’t think they’d come back to defeat the Dolphins! They’re on a roll this season. :)

UPDATES: There are times when being wrong really sucks. This is not one of those times. Woo Cardinals! Good for you for pulling it off and sticking it to the Giants! :D

UPDATES: Not bad, I end up with 11/13. Could be better, but could also be a lot worse, like last week!

NFL Football Week 7 2009 Picks

2009-10-24T16:18:00.001-07:00

Ready for some thrills and spills in WK 7? The Patriots/Bucs game is over in London this week, so the fans for both teams lose out. I have to say I’m not pleased with this aspect of the NFL. But that’s for a post all on it’s own.

I don’t think the Vikings will be able to maintain their winning streak against the Steelers this week. I think that Steel Curtain will come down on them, and finally take down Favre. Please take down Favre!

Congratulations to the Chiefs for ending their losing streak. :) And to the Saints for holding on to their winning streak and taking down the Giants. Made my day! Woo!

UPDATES: Wow, I really dropped the ball on that one. I updated my cards and I guess I just didn’t realize that I hadn’t finished updating the page here. So sorry about that! I ended the week on a dismal 9/14. Barely 50%. Ugh! Hopefully I’ll do better in WK 7.

NFL Football Week 6 2009 Picks

2009-10-18T09:57:00.001-07:00

Nothing like remembering at the last minute that you still haven’t done your picks and game time starts in 20 minutes! Whew! I think I’m getting it in just in the nick of time.

I think the Giants/Saints was one of my toughest calls. The Saints are on a winning streak, and the Giants are too, so this is going to be a battle because neither team is going to part with that undefeated banner easily. I think the Saints will give the upset though.

NFL Football Week 5 2009 Picks UPDATES

2009-10-11T18:19:00.000-07:00

UPDATES: Congratulations to the Browns and the Panthers for taking themselves off the winless list! Yes, even though it messes up my otherwise perfect stats. Every team should have wins sometime. Unless, of course, they’re playing my beloved Patriots. :D

UPDATES: Well, I did say that my picks would probably be skunked. Looks like I was right – I missed every single afternoon game. *ouch*

I wanted to share something my son said though, on hearing that Orton threw his first pick of the season against the Pats – he said, '”Orton hears a boo.” That made me laugh. :)

UPDATES: Ugh! Another 50% week! I swear, I don’t know what’s wrong with me lately! But I am glad the Jets lost.
