Out of the Blue

[Sep 20, 2012, 11:08 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Thursday night football seems to make today the right day to post picks if you want to match wits. Last week was pretty rough for football predictions with all those upsets. I ended up second out of four participants at 8-8, and Cutter won the week again at 9-7. For this week besides my default pick of the Giants I'll take the Bucs, Colts, Bills, Jets, Saints, Redskins, Bears, 49ers, Lions, Chargers, Cardinals, Steelers, Texans, Ravens, and Packers.

Thanks to Blue, I am reading an article on The Science of Procrastination instead of working while I am at work.

I think I'm going to try to shoot the moon from here on out. I dare you to make worse picks than me! Giants, Bucs, Colts, Bills, Dolphins, Saints, Bengals (will lose, but have to pick the local team), Bears, 49ers, Lions, Falcons, Cardinals, Steelers, Broncos, Ravens, Packers.

Not much of a sports person (I know the rules, can follow the game, and scream out against bad calls), but I REALLY want to go to a Bengals game when it's snowing. I don't mean flurries, I mean the field has 3-4 inches of snow on it! (And not really the Bengals but the stadium is 10 mins away)

Just straight wins. The spread is for suckers. And yeah, there were several big upsets last week. I was in 'Holy shit! Really?' mode. That's one of the things that's great about football however. Lots of interesting stuff going on in the college games as well. There are several tough calls again this week where it really could either way but since we have to pick one or the other let's go with the following...
Giants, Colts, Browns, Jets, Saints, Redskins, Lions, 49ers, Bears, Cowboys, Chargers, Eagles, Steelers, Broncos, Patriots, Packers.

P.S. That article on procrastination looks interesting, I'll check it out later.

Alright, I'll play. Are we just predicting who wins, or are we predicting against the spread? Giants, Bears, Bills, Bucs, Jets, 49'ers, Saints, Redskins, Titans, Colts, Cardinals (the Eagles CAN'T keep winning games in which they have 4+ turnovers, right???), Chargers, Broncos, Steelers, Ravens, Packers. That's just who wins. If we play against the spread, I'll have to look them up first. Creston
