NFL Football 2010 Week 2 Picks UPDATES

Sorry these are so late getting up.  I’ve had a really bad week!  But, I can say I have something in common, sorta, with Tom Brady and Wes Welker.  ;) 

I went 8-8 this week, so only 50%.  Blech!

NFL Football Week 1 2010 Picks UPDATES

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?

NFL Football Week 1 2010 Picks

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!

Superbowl Pick

I know, I know, everyone is going to think I’m insane.  And perhaps I am.  I don’t care.  But I’m going with the Saints in this one.  Maybe I just have a thing for the underdog.

Conference Playoffs Picks Updates

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.

Conference Playoffs Picks

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.

Divisional Playoffs Picks Updates

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

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

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.
