    SuperBowl predictions

    Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

    Am I allowed to say Superbowl?  Too late now I guess.
    I’m going to go way out on a limb at pick the Patriots to win this one.    I’ve been picking the Giants to lose since halfway through the regular season, and this time I’m finally going to be right.
    I’m actually rooting for the Patriots […]

    NFL Playoffs

    Monday, January 14th, 2008

    The home teams should have been worried on Sunday after seeing that I picked the games on Saturday correctly.  It would have gone against the laws of the universe for me to be over 500.  So the Colts had to lose, which wouldn’t have surprised except that it was their practice team that did it, […]

    NFL Divisional Playoffs

    Friday, January 11th, 2008

    Allright.  I was 2-2 in the wildcard playoffs, although the Chargers certainly had me worried.   I watched bits and pieces of each game, but didn’t see any of them in their entirety.  I’m still shocked the Giants pulled that one out, and I really thought the Steelers could hold off the Jag.s.   But that’s […]

    Slacker

    Friday, January 4th, 2008

    Not that anyone’s noticed, but I’ve been a slacker and haven’t posted my picks for the last two weeks of the NFL season. I haven’t even posted my results from week 14.  I could have been perfect that week and we may never know.
    I stopped picking because I kept running out of time during the […]

    Mike’s NFL Picks 2007 Week 15

    Saturday, December 15th, 2007

    Its been a busy week, and I already missed picking one game.  Have I mentioned how stupid I think the Thursday night games are?  They need to get rid of them.  If there must be another day of football, put it on Saturday after the College season winds down.  I’d be more likely to watch […]

    NFL Week 14 Pick Results

    Saturday, December 15th, 2007

    Week 14 was not a great football week for me. The Bears lost as only they can, the only fantasy team in the first round of the playoffs that put up decent numbers was my opponent, and I went 7-9 in my picks bringing my total to 80-99-11. At this point I […]

    Mike’s NFL Picks 2007 Week 14b

    Saturday, December 8th, 2007

    I almost forgot to get the remainder of my picks in. Here goes:
    Carolina Panthers +11 at Jacksonville Jaguars. 11 points is a lot to give for a Jaguar team who I don’t think has a very high powered offense, but the Panthers only have one offensive weapon in Steve Smith and he’s by […]

    NFL Week 13 Pick Results

    Saturday, December 8th, 2007

    I think last week was my best this year as I had a somewhat impressive 10-6. That brings my season total all the way up to 73-90-11. With a perfect week this week I can get to one game below .500.

    Mike’s NFL Picks 2007 Week 14a

    Thursday, December 6th, 2007

    I still haven’t tallied up my results from last week and here I am having to make an early pick this week.  Stupid Thursday games.  Only one game to pick so far though and its the Bears, so you know where I’m going with this one
    Chicago Bears +3 at Washington Redskins - The Bears have […]

    Live Blogging the Bears Game

    Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

    I’ve been wanting to do this all year. This week I’m finally going to do it.
    9:58 First Quarter - You couldn’t have scripted the first possessions much better. An interception on the Giant’s first drive followed by the Bears Offense dominating the Giants D. Grossman looked like an actual quarterback, rolling […]
