2011 NFL Week 7 Picks and Podcast

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.

2011 NFL Week 6 Picks and Podcast

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.

2011 NFL Week 4 Picks and Podcast


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.

All the picks followed by a half hour of Poor Man’s PTI.

2011 NFL Week 3 Picks and Podcast

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.

2011 NFL Week 2 Picks and Podcast

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.

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

2011 Week 1 NFL Picks

It’s football season! Every season, I give the excuse that week 1 is the hardest week to pick. But looking at the results from last season might give us some insight into what will happen this week. In the first week of 2010, 12 home teams won as well as 10 favorites. In a straight up pick, when in doubt, go with the home favorite.

As far as against the spread goes, think about picking dogs as Vegas/bettors often rate the favorites a little too high. Last year, 8 dogs won vs only 6 favorites, with only 2 backdoor covers.

The featured games this week are Saints @ Packers, Lions @ Bucs, Steelers @ Ravens, and Cowboys @ Jets.

By the way, for those of you on the “NY teams will win because of 9/11” bandwagon, Ryan wanted to remind you that it’s 9/11 for everyone.

Super Bowl XLV Picks and Prop Bets

By now you’ve read and listened to almost everyone pick the Super Bowl. Since no one but RJ has any interest in this year’s Super Bowl, we’ve decided to spend the majority of this year’s Super Bowl Podcast on what really matters: the prop bets. From Christina Aguillera drawing out every note in the National Anthem to who the winning coach will thank first to which QB WAG is going to get airtime first (the smart money is not on Jessican Szohr), we’ve got you covered.

This year’s Super Bowl Odds and Prop Bets are from our friends at Betus.

2010/2011 NFL Conference Championship Games Picks and Podcast

Ryan and Stat Boy join Vin on the  “no vested interested in the games” sidelines this week as both New England and Atlanta both fall in the divisional round. For those of you who aren’t bitter about last weekend’s results and can stomach the games, the championship Sunday games are usually much better than the Super Bowl. We discuss Green Bay at Chicago and NY Jets at Pittsburgh.

2010/2011 NFL Divisional Round Picks and Podcast

The Divisional Round – where all the bye week teams assert their dominance over the poor suckers that had to play last week. The team that’s rested should have no problem with the first round winners, right? Not so fast.

Recent history has shown that the away team has a great chance of upsetting the home favorites. In the last 10 games in the divisional round, the road team has won 5 times. So which teams have the best chance of upsetting the well rested home teams? (Hint: It’s not the Jets.)
