How about those Lions?  Amazingly the Failsafe Machine once again proved to be worth much more than I paid for it as it predicted a Lions cover and has me working out of my prior slump (I’m 15-13 now for the year).  For a few minutes I thought the Lions might even win that game [...]

I don’t know if we are just spoiled from the previous weeks slate of exciting games but this week feels somewhat lackluster to me.  Yes there should be some decent games but these last 2 or 3 weeks there have been multiple must see games on at the same time (making DirecTV very happy I [...]

Monday Night Football last week lived up to all the hype and more as the Eagles kept it close and brought my record to 4-3 so far this year with my picks.  While I doubt we find a primetime game nearly as exciting as the Cowboys & Eagles, there are some very interesting games for [...]

Its always tough week 1 as 99% of what we saw during the long preseason means virtually nothing.  While Ray Rice may have looked like the best sleeper in the world this preseason for all we know McGahee is about to have a career year and keep Rice locked up on the bench.  While there [...]

I’m sure anyone seeing my list thinks I have ranked the Bengals/Browns players too high. Weather permitting (I learned my lesson there last week), I don’t see any reason why we can’t see another 11 aerial touchdowns as we did in the prior meeting early this year. Also Brady and Manning, the others [...]
