NFL Football Picks for Week 3 2009

2009-09-25T00:10:00.002-04:00

Not so hot this year so far, but I will always keep on trying. I'm holding off opposite week for at least one more week. I also refrained my letting my sone make my picks this week. Here goes:

New England Patriots -4.5 over Atlanta Falcons

Houston Texans -3.5 over Jacksonville Jaguars

Kansas City Chiefs +9.5 over Philadelphia Eagles

Detroit Lions +6.5 over Washington Redskins

Green Bay Packers -6.5 over St. Louis

Cincinnati Bengals +4.5 over Pittsburgh Steelers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +6.5 over New York Giants

Cleveland Browns + 13.5 over Baltimore Ravens

Minnesota Vikings -6.5 over San Francisco 49ers

Tennessee Titans +2.5 over New York Jets

New Orleans Saints -5.5 over Buffalo Bills

Chicago Bears -2.5 over Seattle Seahawks

San Diego Chargers -6.5 over Miami Dolphins

Oakland Raiders -1.5 over Denver Broncos

Arizona Cardinals -2.5 over Indianapolis Colts

Dallas Cowboys -9.5 over Carolina Panthers

NFL Survivor pick for week 3 2009

2009-09-25T00:03:00.003-04:00

I think this is an easy pick this week. Going with a good team playing a bad one. Cleveland sucks and the Ravens are playing very well, hence the 13 1/2 point spread. Survivor pick of the week: Baltimore Ravens

NFL Football Picks for Week 2 2009

2009-09-18T21:26:00.004-04:00

Week one wasn't so hot for me, but let's give it another try. Here are my picks for NFL week 2.

Minnesota Vikings - 9.5 over Detroit Lions

Tennessee Titans -6.5 over Houston Texans

New England Patriots -5.5 over New York Jets

Kansas City Chiefs -3.5 over Oakland Raiders

Washington Redskins -9.5 over St. Louis Rams

Cincinnati Bengals +9.5 over Green Bay Packers

Atlanta Falcons -6.5 over Carolina Panthers

Jacksonville Jaguars -3.5 over Arizona Cardinals

Philadelphia Eagles -2.5 over New Orleans Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers +4.5 over Buffalo Bills

Seattle Seahawks +1.5 over San Francisco 49ers

Baltimore Ravens +3.5 over San Diego Chargers

Cleveland Browns +3.5 over Denver Broncos

Chicago Bears +2.5 over Pittsburgh Steelers

New York Giants +2.5 over Dallas Cowboys

Miami Dolphins +3.5 over Indianapolis Colts

NFL Survivor pick for week 2 2009

2009-09-18T21:19:00.002-04:00

Employing a usual method this week. Take whoever is playing Detroit or St. Louis. I don't trust the Redskins, so that leaves me with a team that is going to light up the board vs Detroit. The pick of the week: Minnesota

Week 1

2009-09-17T16:25:00.001-04:00

Not so hot last week. I'll try again for week 2.

2009-09-13T14:15:00.001-04:00

Survivor pick for week 1 2009

2009-09-08T23:07:00.004-04:00

Week 1 survivor pool picks usually aren't that tough, but there is always a chance your team will get upset and you'll be pissed you got knocked out on week 1. I think the popular pick this week will be the Saints, who are playing Detroit. However, I am going to stick my neck out a little, despite my own advice of always making the best choice. I'm betting the rest of the season that the G-men beat up on the Redskins this week and like them for my Survivor pick.

Week 1 Pick:

Giants

NFL Football Picks for Week 1 2009

2009-09-08T23:01:00.008-04:00

As promised, here are my picks for week 1 of the 2009 NFL season. Week 1 is always tough, but we've seen enough in preseason and from the media to know who is good and who is not. However, the spread always causes some havoc when a bad team loses, but manages to keep it close and covers. There are some dominant teams and some weaklings, but with the NFL, you never know. I'll probably get better as the season goes on, and if not, I'll let me son make my picks for me. Here you go for NFL week 1, 2009:

Tennessee Titans (+5.5) over Pittsburgh Steelers

Atlanta Falcons (-4.5) over Miami Dolphins

Cincinnati Bengals (-3.5) over Denver Broncos

Minnesota Vikings (-3.5) over Cleveland Browns

Jacksonville Jaguars (+6.5) over Indianapolis Colts

New Orleans Saints (-11.5) over Detroit Lions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3.5) over Dallas Cowboys

Philadelphia Eagles (+0.5) over Carolina Panthers

Kansas City Chiefs (+8.5) over Baltimore Ravens

Houston Texans (-4.5) over New York Jets

New York Giants (-6.5) over Washington Redskins

Arizona Cardinals (-6.5) over San Francisco 49ers 9/13 4:15 PM

St. Louis Rams (+7.5) over Seattle Seahawks

Chicago Bears (+3.5) over Green Bay Packers

New England Patriots (-10.5) over Buffalo Bills

San Diego Chargers (-6.5) over Oakland Raiders

Let's see how I do.

"It would not be the first time NFL scouts were fooled. I'm thinking about can't miss prospects like Alex Smith, Ryan Leaf, Tim Couch, and Charles Rogers.

Tebow is a great college QB, and as a Florida fan, I love watching him lead the Gators to national championships. However, I also see a lot of similarities between him and other great college QB's that didn't quite make it in the NFL. Two great QB's from Nebraska come to mind.

Given the type of QB he is vs the type of QB that succeeds in the NFL, I just don't see it happening."

NFL starts today, but it's going to be hard not to watch the Yankees and the Red Sox. I guess that's what picture in picture is for

A new beginning

2009-07-31T07:23:00.001-04:00

Training camp has begun. Only a few weeks to go before the season begins.

Time to start planning your fantasy draft and signing up for pick em pools.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Sorry for not posting my picks last season. Trust me, you didn't want them anyway. I have a new netbook now and it will be easier to post. I will try to do a better job in 2009.

If anyone has any suggestions or wants to discuss picks, let me know.

New Season

2007-08-19T23:56:00.000-04:00

Just a quick note to all those (and there aren't many) who missed my blog throughout the year. Football season is back and I'll be making weekly posts with my NFL picks. Remember, I'm better than just flipping a coin.

Also, this year I'll try to focus more on fantasy football rather than college football. Not that there is anything wrong with college football, and I've spent many Saturdays glued to my television, I'd like to focus more on the NFL this year.

NFL Football picks for week 10 (11/12/06 - 11/13/06)

2006-11-09T21:18:00.000-05:00

Last week was respectable with 7 correct, but the late games ruined my week. Here are some of the things that I am sure of so far this season:

1. The Patriots will win this Sunday vs the Jets. They haven't lost two in a row in a long time.

2. The Raiders have no offensive line. I had to turn the game off it was so bad. Looks like Andrew Walter is getting QB lessons from Drew Bledsoe.

3. My fantasy team keeps putting up big numbers, but not big enough to win.

This week, as always, my goal is to go undefeated. The picks of the week are:

1. Indianapolis - 12 1/2 over Buffalo

2. Baltimore - 7 1/2 over Tennessee

3. Cleveland + 8 1/2 over Atlanta

4. Minnesota - 5 1/2 over Green Bay

5. Kansas City - 1 1/2 over Miami

6. Detroit - 6 1/2 over San Francisco

7. Houston + 10 1/2 over Jacksonville

8. New England - 10 1/2 over New York Jets

9. San Diego - 1 1/2 over Cincinnati

10. Washington + 7 1/2 over Philadelphia

11. Denver - 9 1/2 over Oakland

12. St. Louis + 4 1/2 over Seattle

13. New Orleans + 4 1/2 over Pittsburgh

14. Arizona + 7 1/2 over Dallas

15. Chicago + 3 1/2 over New York Giants

16. Carolina - 9 1/2 over Tampa Bay

NFL Football picks for week 9 (11/05/06 - 11/06/06)

2006-11-02T21:27:00.000-05:00

This week is opposite week. Aside from a few favorites that I usually pick, I mixed it up this week and went against by better judgment for many of my picks. The NFL is full of surprises, and sometimes, two wrongs do make a right. Here is my attempt to fake out the gambling gods:

1. Chicago - 13 1/2 over Miami

2. Detroit + 5 1/2 over Atlanta

3. Washington + 3 1/2 over Dallas

4. Houston + 13 1/2 over the New York Giants

5. Buffalo - 3 1/2 over Green Bay

6. Kansas City + 2 1/2 over St. Louis

7. Cincinnati + 3 1/2 over Baltimore

8. Tennessee + 9 1/2 over Jacksonville

9. New Orleans - 1 1/2 over Tampa Bay

10. Minnesota - 5 1/2 over San Francisco

11. Pittsburgh - 3 1/2 over Denver

12. Cleveland + 12 1/2 over San Diego

13. New England - 3 1/2 over Indianapolis

14. Oakland + 7 1/2 over Seattle

Too bad the Jets have off...

2006-10-12T21:35:00.000-04:00

Last week was my best week yet. I posted a 10-2-2 record, which I am very happy with (83% winners). This week, due to my success and a little superstition, I will post in the same format with no commentary. You'll notice this week I went with mostly away teams.

1. Detroit + 1 1/2 over Buffalo

2. Houston + 13 1/2 over Dallas

10. Kansas City + 7 1/2 over Pittsburgh

11. San Diego - 10 1/2 over San Francisco

12. Denver - 15 1/2 over Oakland

13. Chicago - 10 1/2 over Arizona

Suicide pick of the week: Denver

2006-10-05T19:58:00.000-04:00

Last week was a good week, but it could have been better. There were 4 games that came down to the last few minutes, and none of them went my way. Overall, I did post 8 wins, 5 losses and 1 push. This week, due to the demands of my career, I will only post my picks for winners without my usual commentary. Here goes:

2. Cleveland + 8 over Carolina

3. Detroit + 6 over Minnesota
