NFL Picks - Week 4

We never had a chance to go over the picks from last Sunday, but we were 10-6 last week.

YTD - 27-19-1

Week 4 Picks

Big Blue has the week off, so we'll savor that 3-0 start for a bit.

Jets -1 vs. Cardinals
We have no faith in the Jets, but this is Arizona they're playing. Jets and Favre take this one, 20-17.

Broncos -9 at Chiefs
Chiefs are God awful and the Broncos offense is clicking on all cylinders. Broncs shouldn't blow them out.

Browns +1 at Bengals
Wow, tough one. The way things have gone for these 0-3 teams, they'll probably tie. Derek Anderson has to turn things around, doesn't he?

Jaguars -6.5 vs. Texans
Jags are beat up, but last week's win proved just how much talent this team has. Houston doesn't match up.

Saints -4.5 vs. 49ers
Saints defense has been nowhere to be found, but they should be able to do enough to beat the Niners.

Falcons +7 at Panthers
We love this Panthers team, but they haven't been that stupendous. Panthers win, but a close game.

Titans -3 vs. Vikings
The better team takes this one.

Packers +2 at Bucs
Interesting game and a tough pick. Bucs 'D' hasn't been as we would expect. The Bucs are not the Cowboys and that should mean a good enough day for Aaron Rodgers.

Bills -8.5 at Rams
When you're 8.5 point underdogs at home, you know you are in trouble.

Chargers -8 at Raiders
The same theory applies as above. Chargers should crush the Raiduhs.

Redskins +10 at Cowboys
Dallas is the superior team, but that's a big spread for such an intense rivalry.

Eagles -3 at Bears
Even without Westbrook, the Eagles should take it.

Steelers -5 vs. Ravens
Steelers should bounce back from last week's tough loss to Philly.

NFL Week 3 Picks

The thought of the Giants going 3-0 is mind boggling, but it better happen. Cincy is falling apart and though we hate, hate, hate that the Giants are double digit favorites, we have to take them.
Giants -13.5 vs. Bengals Giants 31 Bengals 13

Chargers -9 vs. Jets
The Monday night match up has an angry (thanks to Ed Hoculi) 0-2 Chargers team that should run roughshod over the Jets. LT2 is a no go for this one, but that shouldn't matter.

Falcons -5.5 vs. Chiefs
This could be an ugly game. The Falcons lured us into to taking them in week 2 and then let us down. There was no way the Chiefs were going to lose to the Raiders. Wrong again. Ok, someone has to win. We think it is the Matt Ryan led Falcons.

Bills -9.5 vs. Raiders
With Darren McFadden slowed by turf toe, the Bills should crush the hapless Raiders.

Titans -5 vs. Texans
We went back and forth on this one. The outcome is we think the Texans will suffer from not having played in 2 weeks.

Cardinals +3 at Redskins
We see this one coming down to a last second field goal.

Patriots -12.5 vs. Dolphins
We're not making that Miami mistake 2 weeks in a row.

Bucs +3 vs. Bears
Should be a close battle. We just can't get behind Kyle Orton. Or Brian Griese for that matter.

Panthers +3.5 at Vikings
Tavaris Jackson is out, Gus Ferrotte is in. More imporantly, Adrian Peterson is out. Panthers should go to 3-0, while the Vikes drop to 0-3.

Seahawks -9.5 vs. Rams
Flip a coin. We don't know where to go here. Seattle is a major disappointment and the Rams stink.

49ers -4 vs. Lions
We don't like either team, but the Lions suck more than usual on the road.

Saints +5.5 at Broncos
Should be a high scoring game as neither team's defense is too spectacular. Broncos win, but Saints keep it close.

Steelers +3.5 at Eagles
Steelers offense isn't as good as the Cowboys, but there is no way their 'D' will get burned like Dallas' did. Steelers should win out right.

Jaguars +5 at Colts
Injuries and all, the Jaguars should stay close or beat a Colts team that is going through a tough stretch.

Ravens -2 vs. Browns
Another to flip a coin on. This game is usually filled with field goals. Browns remain winless.

Cowboys -3 vs. Packers
Cowboys are the better team.

NFL Recap - Week 2

We didn't do so hot this past Sunday. A couple of teams really threw us for a loop and we mistakenly stayed on the bandwagon of others.

First and foremost, the Giants won again. It was closer than the final score indicated, but the final score of 41-13 over the Rams was quite pleasant. Giants -8.5 Win

Those crazy Jets fans. They saw Tom Brady go down and thought they had the AFC East wrapped up. Silly, silly, stupid J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets fans. Patriots 19-10 Win

Chiefs -3.5 at Raiders
Okay, this is one of the ones we didn't see coming. We know the Chiefs aren't good, but the
Raiders. Herm "just win a game" Edwards better win one in a hurry. Raiders 23-8 Loss

Titans +1 at Bengals
Vince Young
or no Vince Young, there's no way the Titans should have only been favored by 1. Marvin Lewis must be praying to get fired. Titans 24-7 Win

Colts -1.5 at Vikings
To win in the NFL, you have to score touchdowns. The Vikings got five Ryan Longwell field goals and couldn't hold it. Colts 18 Vikings 15 Win

Saints PK at Redskins
We wondered how this game could possibly be a pick 'em with the Saints ability to score points. Then we saw the Saints defense and remembered. The 'aints absolutely blow a 24-15 lead. You can't lead Santana Moss beat you on a 67-yard like that. Redskins 26 Saints 24 Loss

Packers -3 at Lions
It continues. How do Matt Millen and Jon Kitna keep their jobs? A complete embarrassment. Forget Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers looked like Superman. Packers 48-25 Win

Panthers -3 vs. Bears
We are fully on the Panthers bandwagon, even if we only got a push out of this. So far two games, one right, one push. They've burned the hell out of us in the past. Perhaps they're trying to make up for it. Panthers 20-17 Push

Bills +5 at Jaguars
Oh yeah, we're on the Bills bandwagon too. The Jags aren't that bad, but they are beat up. There's no way they should have been that heavy a favorite. Bills 20-16 Win

Falcons +7 at Bucs
We totally screwed up on this one; got too influenced by Matt Ryan's performance last week. Bucs 24-9 Loss

Seahawks -7 vs. 49ers
We are REALLY sick of the Seahawks. Killed us in week one and did it again in week two. No more trusting Holmgren and Hasselback. You think we would have learned from last year. 49ers 33-30 (OT) Loss

Dolphins +6.5 at Cardinals
Okay, we should have been sent off to Bellevue for that pick. Dumb, dumb, dumb (but not as dumb as those Jets fans). Cardinals 31-10 Loss

Chargers PK at Broncos
Ed Hochuli
is to blame for this. We're sure you've seen the blown 4th qtr call by now. We got screwed, but not as bad as the Chargers did. Broncos 39-38 Loss

Steelers -6 at Browns
Smashmouth football. Just boring football. Steelers 10 Browns 6 Loss

Eagles +7 at Cowboys
What a great game, clearly trying to make up for the Sunday nighter. Told you 7 points was too big of a spread. Cowboys 41-37 Win

Week 2 7-7-1 (Texans-Ravens Canceled)
YTD 17-13-1

The NFL Returns

We never thought we would be saying this, but the defending Super Bowl champion Giants (we just love how that sounds!) open the season at home tonight against the rival Washington Redskins. No Michael Strahan or Osi Umenyiora, but a more confident Eli Manning opens the season after winning the MVP award in last year's triumph.

Washington has a new coach in Jim Zorn and hopes to improve on last season's 9-7, non-playoff year.

The Giants are 4.5 points and we will lay the points. Giants 27 Redskins 20

Just call it One More to go Day

Looks like Mackenzie Phillips is still taking it, "One Day at a Time".

Joe Sakic is back for the Avalanche.

One NJ assemblyman wants the Giants to rethink the PTL.

IE8 to block ads?

And you wonder why kid actors are so screwed up?

De La Hoya to fight one more time. Hopefully not in drag.

Glen Campbell covers Green Day, Foo Fighters. We're scared.

SI takes a look at this year's Heisman contenders (video).

Football Friday

It's the first day of February, which means Spring Training is less than 2 weeks away. But today, TODAY, is Football Friday. The Friday before the BIG GAME. If the Giants weren't playing in it, it would just be the Super Bowl LXII.

So we love our Giants. We don't really hate the Pats. Actually the Cowboys were the only team we hated in this run to the BIG GAME. But we don't like or respect Bill Bellichik as much as we used to. The non-shaking of hands, the scowl, the hoodie, and the spygate. Don't misinterpret though, he's still a great coach, and we still have some love for him from his days as the Giants defensive coordinator.

So now on to the BIG GAME. We've gone against our Giants in every playoff prediction and this one will be no different. The 18-0 Pats. That says it all. So here it is...

Patriots 31 Giants 17


We hate doing it, but its hard to imagine winning this game. Most of all, we hope for a much better outing than the Giants team that went up against the Ravens in SB XXXV.

All that being said...

GO GIANTS!!!

We're Going to the Super Bowl


















Okay, we'll only be watching on TV, but the Giants did it!!! We didn't think it was possible and then a damn kicker nearly blew it, but they pulled it out!!!! GO GIANTS!!!



Our boy Tinker was ready to take a bite out of Tynes.

NFL Recap - Divisional Round

We didn't have quite the success we did last week as far as picking the game winners, but we did get 3 out 4 with the spread. We're not 6-2 vs. the spread in the post-season. We're also 6-2 merely picking the winner of the game.

Cowboys -7.5
vs. Giants Cowboys 31 Giants 20
Thankfully we were so wrong on this one. If winning the game is wrong, then we don't want to be right. GO GIANTS

Packers -8 vs. Seahawks:
We thought the Seahawks were phonies and despite a couple of quick scores, we were so right. We picked the Pack, 30-17. They laid it to he Hawks even more so, 42-20

Jaguars +13 at Patriots:
We thought the Jags could keep it close and thanks to some great play David Garrard, we were right. We said Patriots 31 Jaguars 21 - the final, 31-20. Not bad at all!

Chargers +8.5 vs. Colts:
We had the Chargers covering and we almost had the score exactly again. Only problem is we had the wrong team winning. We said, Colts 27 Chargers 23 - the final, Chargers 28 Colts 24.

And in case you didn't realize it already,
GO GIANTS!
