This might be the week to say to your girlfriend/wife, “You know, it’d be nice to get out on a Sunday. Let’s do something outside together.” You don’t have to tell her that this might be the worst slate of games since the year of the replacement players. Every week we try to feature 4 exciting games on the podcast. It was a struggle to even find 2.

Your (sorta) Featured Games this week are Jaguars at Browns, Bills at Dolphins, Raiders at Vikings, and Chargers at Bears. We challenge you to find another game that’s significantly better than these.

We’ve got a full slate of games this week including the start of the NFL Network Thursday Night Games. Don’t forget to get your survival pools and fantasy lineups set.

While we have many many guests on the show this week, we only have 1 special guest: The triumphant return of Fordham University Polo legend and original host of Sportscolumn’s Weekly NFL Picks, Trevor Freeman. We discuss the Penn State scandal and the biggest egos on all 32 NFL teams.

The featured games are Lions at Bears, Saints at Falcons, Patriots at Jets, and Vikings at Packers.

We’re halfway through the NFL season and it’s actually getting harder to pick the games. Outside of the Packers (I just jinxed them), are there any great teams / sure things in the NFL this year? The Sunday night battle between the Steelers and the Ravens should answer a lot of questions in that regard. But in the NFC, the Niners might clinch their division before thanksgiving and nobody really knows it they are a legitimate contender. Meanwhile the NFC South is up for grabs and the Lions are the best wildcard team. Madness.

The featured games this week are Bucs at Saints, Jets at Bills, Packers at Chargers, and Ravens at Steelers.

By the way, if you’ve ever wondered (and you probably haven’t) what Ryan and I talk about off the air, here’s an outtake because I accidentally left the recorder on: idle chit chat

Not a very good week last week for some of us but we’ll rebound this week. (Everyone who picked Jacksonville to win the game, raise your hand.) There are some intriguing matchups this week but the last two games on Sunday, Patriots/Steelers and Cowboys/Eagles are the big draws. We’ll also find out how the Lions rebound from adversity and whether Tim Tebow was a half game fluke last week.

The featured games this week are Jaguars @ Texans, Lions @ Broncos, Patriots @ Steelers, and Cowboys @ Eagles.

It’s a big week for new quarterbacks. John Beck gets the nod in Washington and Christian Ponder replaces McNabb is Minnesota. But most importantly, Tim “The Savior/ Media Darling” Tebow gets his first start in Miami. Of the three, Beck finds himself in the worst situation. No one expects the Vikings to even come within a touchdown of the Packers and Tebow will have plenty of “hometown” support in Miami and goes up against the worst team in the league. We’ll see how it all shakes out.

The featured games this week are Chargers @ Jets, Texans @ Titans, Falcons @ Lions, and Packers @ Vikings.

The start of the bye weeks was not kind to us. The biggest surprise of week 5 was Seattle beating the Giants. How many people got knocked out of their survival pools because Eli Manning might be worse than Cooper Manning at this point? Following on that point, most of us are picking Buffallo to be the upset special this week.

The featured games this week are Niners @ Lions, Texans @ Ravens, Cowboys @ Patriots, and Saints @ Buccaneers.

It’s the start of the bye weeks which means less good games to go around. If you think the choice of featured games this week are a stretch, it’s because they are. But hey, at least you don’t have to watch Indy on prime time this week so that counts for something.

The featured games this week are Eagles @ Bills, Raiders @ Texans, Jets @ New England, and Packers @ Falcons.

Anyone who told you they knew the last 3 undefeated teams would be Detroit, Buffalo, and Green Bay is lying. While everyone thought GB would be super, and everyone was jumping on the Detrot bandwagon, the biggest surprise of the season has to be the Buffalo Bills. Most people expected 1-2 at best after 3 weeks. Now watch them lose to a dreadful team like the Cincinatti Bengals just to put the NFL world back on its axis.

The featured games this week are Bills @ Bengals, Patriots @ Raiders, and Jets @ Ravens.

If you want to pick winners, just pick the favorite. Last week, only 3 dogs pulled off the upset and the only real upset was Tennessee over Baltimore. If you want to pick Against the Spread, then flip a coin. The favorites went 9-7 last week ATS. What does this mean for week 3? Probably nothing.

The featured games this week are Texans @ Saints, Falcons @ Bucs, and Packers @ Bears.

After a wild start to the NFL season, we’re back with week 2 picks. A little more information this week to base picks on but don’t get too carried away with surprise teams from last week. Good teams always bounce back and bad teams always come back down to earth. (Are we taking about the Bills or the Raiders?)

This week’s featured games are Oakland @ Buffalo, Chicago @ New Orleans, San Diego @ New England, and Philly @ Atlanta.
