NFL 2014 - Weekly Picks

    Well, considering it will be a weekly occurrence, you should probably make an entire thread dedicated to how awesome you think I am. :p
     
  2. Oh how the big headed will fall.
     
  3. I dunno... most of this week's games seemed to kinda pick themselves. I think that picking Miami and Detroit on the road are the riskiest of the bunch, although they are the better teams, on paper. Travel never seems to favor the Lions, particularly. I ain't buying that the Eagles or the Bills are for real, yet, or that the 49ers are as bad as they've played.

    Sheesh... I should never do this crap while sober...

    Yep, there are a lot of toss-ups...so there are many variables.
    So, I actually took some time to pick...determine stats, status, history and everything.

    I know my Raiders are sucking, but it's a weird location of London this week...and they're already over there, Miami is still at home practicing...so I'm giving to the guys. (don't disappoint)

    And @Borla's prediction comes thru...if not his picking skills for this week ;)

    It was a close race for everyone this week...neck & neck, coming down to a tie between @ChrisNoyb (45) and @ralphie250 (41)
    KC prison pounded the Patriots 14-41 for a total of 55

    Leaving ChrisNoyb the leader of the pack.
    Congrats :cool:

    Man, I did decent beating the experts...but I gotta leave off my Raiders for these picks...especially now that they fired their coach mid-season :rolleyes:

    I guess this means @ZombieSquirrel gets one more week to think about all the nice things she's going to have to say about me.......



    @rogue49, are you keeping a season tally as well?

    Yes, I usually do a summary mid-season and end of season.
    But if you want, I can post one after 4 games...just let me know.

    No big deal either way if you post it yet, I was just curious if you were keeping track. :) Obviously anyone could sort through this thread and add it up if they wanted to go to the work. :D

    Yes, but I aim to please and live to serve. :cool:
    And speaking of which...I have the new week.


    Raiders are lucky they have a bye this week...allow them to get back from London, get some rest and break in a new coach. :rolleyes:

  12. Congrats to @ChrisNoyb!

    This season has been puzzling. The biggest trend is that there are few reliable trends. What'll I try this week? Should I pull winners from a hat or go find some roadkill and try to read signs in its entrails? Tea leaves?

    If y'all only knew how much I do not follow the NFL. If I wasn't so lazy I'd make my picks, then go back to do coin toss picks, and then compare them to see if there was much difference. This reminds of some the 'contests' among the local TV newscasters, many times the person who doesn't follow the NFL will beat the sports guy's picks.

    ·Bye: Oakland, Miami

    I just realized that I chose mostly home teams. And I now know the reason for my successful picks :rolleyes:; no, it's not relying on home field advantage.
