Week 7 Picks

I had a pretty good football picking week last week, so I get the win. I only had to beat one person this week because only Andrew remembered to submit picks, and I barely did. But I'll take this point because Cliff Lee has ruined my life.

Standings:

Zila/Zanonymous: 3
Justin: 1
Tebow: 1
T. Mali: 1

In other sports' related news, I'm pretty bummed out about that Rutgers player who got paralyzed. I think there are links on the Rutgers website where you can send him messages and stuff, which I may or may not do later, but in the end I hope the school does the right thing and takes care of (at least) hospital bills for life.

Week 7 picks:

Bengals over Falcons.

Bears over Redskins.

Eagles over Titans.

Chiefs over Jaguars.

Dolphins over Steelers.

Saints over Browns.

Rams over Buccaneers. RAMS!

49ers over Panthers. Sad situation in Carolina.

Ravens over Bills. Sad situation in Buffalo.

Seahawks over Cardinals.

Broncos over Raiders.

Chargers over Patriots.

Packers over Vikings.

Giants over Cowboys.

Football Picks Week 5

Man, real busy and lazy. Forgot I have to do posts. Susan Tebow won week 4. She won the prize I mentioned in the week 4 picks post.

Standings:

Zila/Zanonymous: 2
Justin: 1

Everyone else: 0

Today's prize is a half-full glass of water. The losers get the empty half. K?

Here we go:

Jags over Bills

Bengals over Bucs

Falcons over Browns

Rams over Lions

Colts over Chiefs. 72 dolphins can do their dumb champagne toast after this one.

Packers over Redskins. Still no extension for #5

Panthers over Bears. Cutler's out with a giant concussion.

Ravens over Broncos. Tebow doesn't play. But will she win football picks again?

Giants over Texans.

Saints over Cardinals. Nice little mess in Arizona.

Cowboys over Titans.

Chargers over Raiders.

49ers over Eaglers.

Vikings over Jets.

Week 4 Football Picks

Zanonymous won week 3. Everyone is really happy about that. Zila has just claimed that he is Zanonymous. We won't verify and just take his word for it and give him the donut point.

Standings so far:

Zila: 2
Justin: 1


Very exciting.

Week 4 is here already. This week's winner gets a pile of water.

It's never too late to play. Just put the winners in a friendly comment and leave some kudos. Or just post them in a jerkly fashion.

My picks:

Falcons over 49ers. The Singletary era comes to a close. He drops his pants.

Jets over Bills. Apparently Sanchez is now called the Manchise. Weird nickname. Bills stink.

Bengals over Browns. Tricky game.

Packers over Lions. Packers cut the dumb penalties out.

Broncos over Titans.

Rams over Seahawks.

Saints over Panthers. Fox era ends this week. He keeps his pants on.

Ravens over Steelers. Batch botch.

Texans over Raiders.

Colts over Jaguars. Del Rio era comes to a close.

Eagles over Redskins. Vick's first bad game. Eagles win anyway. McNabb air guitars.

Chargers over Cardinals.

Giants over Bears. Giants look terrible and Bears are undefeated. Advantage Giants.

Dolphins over Patriots.

Football Picks Week 3

Justin won last week's picks. I'm a little tired but I'm pretty sure Andrew (Tex) tried sneaking in the Chiefs over Browns pick twice in his picks. I almost counted it twice but I eventually caught it. He almost won the broken lawnmower. Instead Justin will be getting the broken lawnmower in the mail in a couple of hours.

I have thoughts on Mike Vick starting for the Eagles. It was going to be a long-winded blog. But I stopped caring about it. To sum up in 5 words and a contraction: I think it's the right move.

This week the winner will receive a bunch of Sports Illustrated subscription postcards that fall out everytime you try reading the magazine. Maybe I'll throw in some Cosmo subscription postcards too. We'll see.

I've watched a decent amount of football this year. I watched the Monday night game while doing homework and was impressed by the 49ers and the Saints ability to cause turnovers. I was also impressed by how many commercials occur during a football game. I now know that soccer will never catch on in America because the American sports fan needs commercials. So as a bonus, the winner will get a bunch of youtube links for some classic commercials. Think: Shake Weight, Patrick Chewing, and Doublemint gum



Week by weekWins: Zila, Zandrews

Week 3 picks:

Giants over Tennessee. I hate my team, but I still think they'll end up undefeated even though they lost already.

Pittsburgh over Tampa Bay. Who woulda guessed Pittsburgh will be undefeated after Week 3? If Tampa Bay wins, who woulda guessed Tampa Bay would be undefeated after Week 3?

Cincy over Carolina: Clausen's first start will be overshadowed by TO's first TD

Baltimore over Cleveland: Flacco doesn't throw 4 ints

Dallas over Houston: Dallas isn't going 0-3. Houston isn't going 3-0.

San Fran over KC: _____________

Minnesota over Detroit: Detroit seems a lot better than last year, but at the end of the day they are still winless. Detroit rookie RB Best looks like the real deal though.

New England over Buffalo: Brady gets a break since it's the Bills, giving Giselle a few snaps at QB.

New Orleans over Atlanta: New Orleans still seems hungry.

Washington over St. Louis. I seem hungry

Philadelphia over Jacksonville: Kolb weeps on the bench. Team leaves him in Jacksonville in exchange for a couple Gatorade coolers

Oakland over Arizona. Don't expect great QB play in this game.

San Diego over Seattle.

Colts over Denver

Miami over Jets. Jets in Miami is a bad combo. Braylon skips trip because LeBron told him to stay away.

Green Bay over Chicago. With Cutler playing well, this is a pretty cool Monday Night game.

Football picks week 2

Zila won week 1. I don't think it was even close. I got basically every game wrong except the Giants and Texans. Which are the only games that matter, but still. Zila wins an imaginary donut and a pile of nothing else. The week 2 prize is a broken lawnmower and a melted grill. If you fix the lawnmower you have to return it. Pickup only.

Week 2 picks.

The earlier you submit your picks, the better chances you have at absolutely nothing. So play early or go home.

My picks:

Falcons over Cardinals. If we learned anything from week 1, is the Falcons and Matt Ryan are pretty bad. Since we learned this, it is obvious that they will beat the Cardinals, although Whisenhunt is still a good coach.

Bengals over Ravens. Ravens seem pretty good. Bengals seem pretty Bengally. I pick the Bengals unless Ray Lewis murders TO. So I guess this one could go either way.

Chiefs over Browns. Excellent game.

Cowboys over Bears. An 0-2 Cowboys start would be appreciated. It won't happen.

Eagles over Lions. I know people want to pick the Lions. I want to pick the Lions. But I also want Vick to do great. And then I want to see Reid try and start Kolb in Week 3. Then I want to see what happens if Kolb is terrible in Week 3. This is what I want to happen. It starts with an Eagles win on Sunday.

Packers over Bills. A lot to nothing.

Titans over Steelers. Chris Johnson is really good.

Vikings over Dolphins. Favre will bounce back with a better game. D picks off Henne 2 times, one for a score.

Panthers over Buccaneers. As long as Carolina doesn't throw 3 int's into the end zone.

Seahawks over Broncos. Is Seattle good?

Rams over Raiders. I hope St. Louis wins a game this year so I'll pick till they win it.

Patriots over Jets. Still not buying Sanchez.

Jags over Chargers. LT curse.

Redskins over Texans. Texans are my new team, but Washington will figure out how to stop the run better than Indy.

Giants over Colts. Eli plays D on a series and sacks Peyton, LT-Joe Thiesmann style.

Saints over 49ers. Hooray.
