Week 12

Last week, I went 4-3, evening up this season 32-32. I am picking all the games this week:
1. Packers 10.5 favorites @ Detroit
2. Giants 6.5 favorites @ Broncos
3. Falcons 11.5 favorites against Bucss
4. Bills 3.5 dogs against Dolphins
5. Bengals 13.5 favorites against Browns
6. Rams 2.5 dogs against Seahawks
7. Panthers 3.5 dogs @ Jets
8. Eagles 9.5 favorites against Redskins
9. Colts 3.5 favorites @ Texans
10. Chargers 10.5 favorites against Chiefs
11. Jags 3.5 dogs @ 49ers
12. Cards .5 dogs @ Titans
13. Vikings 10.5 favorites against Bears
14. Ravens 2.5 against Steelers
15. Patriots 3.5 dogs @ Saints
Upset 16. Raiders 13.5 Dogs @ Cowboys

Coaching Blah's

I really hate how people make such a big deal about coaching and their ability to win games. The truth is this, Coaches loss games, they rarely win them. I don't care who the coach is, more talent is going to win over less talent. Jay Cutler stinks, but his coach Lovie Smith is on the hotseat. Andy Reid is often criticized for his coaching, but he's not on the field making plays.

I do dislike the coach who thinks he is better than he actually is. A College Coach's job is to recruit the best players he can. I am convinced this is why Bobby Bowden has been at FSU for so long.

Finally, if you are going to be a fat coach, you better win consistently or you will be out. The world is prejudice against Fat People and it's not any better for Fat Coaches. Charlie Weis had 5 years to make Notre Dame matter again and he failed, not because he couldn't coach, but because the best players were going to Florida & USC. Mark Mangino being a tough coach won't get him fired, but a losing season in Kansas will.

Week 11

5-2 week last week, bringing the total to 27-28. Here are my week 11 picks

1. Lions 3.5 favorites over the Browns

2. Steelers 9.5 favorites over the Chiefs

3. Colts .5 dogs @ Ravens

4. Bengals 10.5 favorites over the Raiders

5. Patriots 10.5 favorites over the Jets. I Feel Bad for the Jets, The Pats will go for it on every 4th down and make it

6. Chargers 2.5 favorites over the @ Broncos

7. Upset Special Bills 8.5 dogs @ Jacksonville

Week 10

I am 22-26 and I am kind of disappointed in myself. I am going to pick 7 games this week and I am going to pick all of the games during Thanksgiving Weekend.

1. 49ers 3.5 favorites over the Bears. Actually, I have no idea what Bears Team will show up. I honestly thought the Bears would be the top top team in their Division.

2. Saints 13.5 favorites over the Rams

3. Titans 6.5 Favorites over the Bills

4. Bengals 6.5 Dogs @ the Steelers

5. Chiefs 1.5 Dogs @ Raiders

6. Patriots 2.5 Dogs @ Colts

Upset 7. Bucs 9.5 Dogs @ Dolphins

Week 9

We are halfway through the Season and I have to up my game. I am 20-22, not what I thought I would be, but not too far off.
Here are my picks:
1. Houston 9.5 dogs @ Indy. I am riding Houston as long as I can. I really think they are the surprise team this season, but with the injury to Owen Daniels, someone else has to step up.

2. Ravens 2.5 favs @ Cincinnati. I am still not sold on the Bengals as a legit contender, The Ravens played well last week against Denver, I see this trend continuing.

3. Patriots 10.5 over Dolphins. The Pats will be ready for the Wildcat, Tom Brady will pick apart the Dolphins Secondary. Chad Henne hasn't shown he is the QB of the future.

4. 49ers 4.5 point favs over the Titans. Vince Young found his groove and Chris Johnson is amazing, but I like San Fran at home this week

5. Giants 4.5 fav against the Chargers. The Giants find their winning ways again. I don't trust the Chargers this season, I think they are a mess.

6. Upset Special Panthers 14.5 dogs @ New Orleans. Panthers played well last week, when Jake Delhomme manages the game, he gives the Panthers a chance to win. My Advice, let D'Angelo and Jonathon run and make sure Steve Smith touched the ball at least a dozen times.

Week 8

After a 4-2 week, I am batting .500 18-18 for the season, so here are my Week 8 Picks:

1. Texans 3.5 favorites @ Buffalo. I am going to ride the Texans as long as I can. I think they have all the tools to be a great team, they just haven't put it together yet.

2. Browns 13.5 underdogs @ Chicago. I usually don't like picking Road Teams, especially ones as bad as Cleveland, but Chicago looks like they quit, much like Tennessee and Cleveland can play them tough. I think the Bears win a shootout, but it's a close shootout.

3. Broncos 3.5 underdogs @ Baltimore. Both teams coming off Bye Weeks, so there goes my theory, teams have an extra week to study their next opponent. I think Baltimore is going through some growing pains and every week I picked against the Broncos they have burned me. I really don't think the Broncos are this good, but they keep proving me wrong.

4. Jacksonville 2.5 underdogs @ 0-6 Tennessee with Vince Young Starting. The Titans have already given up on their coach, what makes anyone thing they will try to win for Vince Young?

5. Packers 3.5 favorites against the Vikings and the Diva. I think this is going to be a blow out

6. Upset Special 49ers 12.5 underdogs @ Colts. Alex Smith is getting a second chance and Michael Crabtree will emerge as a top flight Receiver. I think they shock the World.

Week 7

Last Week, I was 2-4, bringing me to 14 - 16.

1. Colts 13.5 favorites @ Rams. Colts coming off a bye week in St Louis against the 0-6 Rams.

2. Packers 8.5 favorites @ Browns. The Browns are pretty bad, Green Bay is pretty good.

3. Steelers 4.5 favorites vs Vikings. I still don't think the Vikings are as good as their record.

4. Philadelphia 7.5 favorites @ Redskins. This is probably a sucker game. The Redskins are imploding and the Eagles coming off a miserable outing against the The Raiders. All signs point to the Eagles Destroying the Redskins.

5. Falcons 4.5 dogs @ Dallas. Dallas has looked mediocre at best, Falcons are the real deal

Upset Special
6. Dolphins 6.5 dogs vs the Saints. I think this is a let down game for the Saints. They have played so well, coming into South Florida against well rested Dolphin team. I think the Defense will get to Brees

I don't know why I am picking so many road teams with big spreads, I think there is a real division between the good teams and everyone else.
