    Mike’s NFL Picks 2007 Week 9

    Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

    Just when you thought it was safe to bet against me I went and had a good week last week.  can I keep it up?  Stranger things have happened.
    Washington Redskins -4 at New York Jets - I’ve picked teams many times this year thinking they would take out their frustrations from the previous week on […]

    NFL Week 8 Pick Results

    Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

    Winner! Its a miracle! Not that its saying much, but I think this week was my best this year as I went 9-3 with one no-pick. This is either the “even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while” theory, or maybe I finally figured things out. Until […]

    Punt Offense

    Monday, October 29th, 2007

    During the John Schoop era, and then again during Grossman’s QB reign I suggested that the Bears punt on first down.  They either weren’t trying or weren’t competent on offense so  why risk turning the ball over and giving your opponent  good field position, or worse, points?  At the time the defense and special teams […]

    Bears Debacle

    Sunday, October 28th, 2007

    What a horrible game.
    Any time the Bears defense wants to make a tackle is fine with me.
    Why is it that when Cedric Benson breaks one for a large run it goes for 8 yards and when any Bears opponents break one it goes for 18?
    Other backs look for and fight to get to the open […]

    Mike’s NFL Picks 2007 Week 8

    Friday, October 26th, 2007

    You know the drill.  Here are my picks.  They probably suck.   Feel free to bet against me and prosper.
     Cleveland Browns -3 at St. Louis Rams -  Browns.  No contest.
     Detroit Lions +5.5 at Chicago Bears - I’m going to keep picking against the Bears.  That way even if they lose, at least I picked right.  Plus […]

    NFL Week 7 Pick Results

    Thursday, October 25th, 2007

    Well, my winning streak lasted all of one week. I went back to my craptacular form in week seven, going 5-8-1 and bringing my embarrassing season total to 34-59-9. If there’s one thing I’m not good at, its picking football winners against the spread.
    I just realized that if you […]

    Mike’s NFL Picks 2007 Week 7

    Saturday, October 20th, 2007

    Lets go for two week in a row with positive results shall we?  I put the over/under on number of games I get right this week at 5 out of 13.  Anyone brave enough to take the over?
    Arizona Cardinals +8.5 at Washington Redskins - Both of these team s have confused me this year.  Normally […]

    NFL Week 6 Pick Results

    Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

    Its a miracle. I actually finished over 500 this week. Can that be right? Just when you thought it was safe to take the opposite of my picks, I have a good week. I went an amazing 6-5-2 last week, bringing my year to date total all […]

    Mike’s NFL Picks 2007 Week 6

    Friday, October 12th, 2007

    Lets see if I get half of these right this time I think that would be a major accomplishment.
    Cincinnati Bengals -3 at Kansas City Chiefs - Bengals easily. They need to get their season back on track and KC is the perfect place to do it. The Chiefs formerly incredible offense is no longer […]

    NFL Week 5 Pick Results

    Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

    Hey look, I still suck at making picks. I went an amazingly awful 4-8-1 last week bringing my year to date results up to 23-46-6. I know I recommended that you not take my picks seriously and that it wasn’t a good idea to make any wagers based on what I said, but […]
