Week 4 in the NFL.................

I am honest and although I forgot to do my picks on this blog I did do them on Showtime's Beat the Insiders. I recommend you check it out. It's a lot of fun. Having said all that, my record last week was a dismal 5-11. Week 2  I was 6-10 and week One I was 10-5 so after 3 weeks I am 21-26 on the negative side but apparently I am not the only one who has been picking losers. Who would have thought the Saints and Packers in today's game would be a combined 1-5. Incredible! Or that the Seahawks and Forty-Niners would be 2-1 trailing the undefeated Cardinals. Yes sports fans like I said not long ago PARITY has come to the NFL.
Now for this weeks picks...I started out with a win with the Ravens over the Browns earlier this week on Thursday but that's no surprise. Patriots are only a four point favorite over the Bills but expected that to be enough. Pats win. San Fran is at New York to play the Jets and it'll take more than the Tebow option to beat that defense. Niners win. Seattle will beat the Rams in St Louis. Rams are still a year or two away. Atlanta at home against the Panthers. Falcons win. Although the Vikings look much improved Lions win at home. Chargers won't make the same mistake as the Saints when they travel to Arrowhead Stadium today. San Diego wins. Texans over the Titans. Bengals over the Jags. Cards over the Dolphins as home field advantage gives them a slight edge. The Bucs are better but will they have an answer to RG3? I don't think so. Skins win. Giants and Eagles square off in a divisional battle. G-Men come away with a road win. Bears are at Dallas and the Cowboys should get back on track in a hard fought game. Romo is due to throw a few more TD's. Cowboys win.
Lastly, the Saints are at Green Bay to face the Packers who are reeling after being robbed on Monday night. That could work for them or against them depending on how they channel it. The Saints defense has yet to demostrate they can play for four quarters. The challenge could not be any bigger as they face one of if not the best QB's in the NFL. I am afraid Saints fans I haven't seen anything that would indicate they can get it done. Conclusion....this one could get real ugly early. Packers win big. Sorry Saints fans. Well that's my picks for Week 4 how about you? Have a great football weekend!

Thursday Night Football.....

I'll make this brief. The Giants overcome the Panthers. Giants win. See ya this weekend!

Week 2 in the NFL..............

Well last week through everyone for a loop with the upsets; welcome to parity. This week will probably bring more of the same so let's see where I stand after going 10-5 in my first week. I'll start off with the home town guys first. I have to believe they will get the things corrected that need correcting specifically-enthusiasm and passion something Aaron Kromer doesn't show much of.
Saints should get on track this week. Saints over Panthers in a close one. Ravens found a new way to run the offense-NO HUDDLE and it works. Eagles will not be able to keep up Ravens win. Steelers at home against the high flying Jets. Steelers bring the Jets back down to earth with a win. Forty-Niners at home against the Lions. The Lions squeaked out a winner last week to an inferior team. The Forty-Niners will be too much defense for the Lions-Niners win. Denver at Atlanta.  This will be the battle of the no-huddle offenses. Although Manning is with a new team he is still the master and Matt Ryan is the apprentice. Broncos win in a shootout. For the rest of the games this is how I see it........
Chiefs over the Bills. Browns over the Bengals. Vikings over the Colts. Texans over the Jags. Patriots over the Cardinals. Giants over the Bucs. Raiders over the Dolphins. Redskins over the Rams. Cowboys over the Seahawks. Finally the Chargers over the Titans. See how you match up! Have a great football weekend.

Week One in the NFL..........

I know it's been a while but somehow with all this Bounty stuff going on in New Orleans, I've been bummed out. Anyway here we go with another NFL season and here are my picks this week. First up the aforementioned Saints at home against the Redskins. Saints win. Too much Drew Brees and not enough RG3. Patriots at Tennessee. Too much Tom Brady...Pats win. Forty-Niners travel to Green Bay. Although it isn't the frozen tundra today the Pack is too tough at home...Packers win. Steelers at Denver. If Payton Manning wasn't playing it might be a different outcome. Steelers always need a couple games under their belt before they start to gel. Broncos win in a close one. Bengals at the Ravens. Ravens too much at home. Chargers at the Raiders. Although Raiders much improved San Diego will win in a close one. For the rest of the league........Bears win over Colts. Eagles over the Browns. Falcons over the Chiefs. Jaguars over the Vikings. Jets over the Bills. Lions over the Rams. Texans over the Dolphins. Seahawks over the Cardinals and Panthers over the Bucs. Well that's what my first week looks like....How about yours? Have a great football weekend!
