Fast kicking, low scores, ties. You bet!

After watching these painful picks for several weeks, I have to make a little proposal.  Perhaps the picks league could be run like Premiere League soccer.  Bottom two at the end of the season get sent to the B Blog, where they spend next seasong picking D3 college soccer games, because I KNOW how much Carl likes soccer down there in Miami.

NFL Pick ‘Em: Week #8

Carl from Miami + Miller Genuine

Miller Genuine: Everything I know is wrong. Alright, I can deal with the Patriots crushing an incredibly inconsistent Broncos teams and even a surging Bolts squad succumbing to the East Coast road trip sleep-walk, but FUTURE FIRST-BALLOT HALL OF FAMER AND WRANGLER JEANS ENDORSER BRETT FAVRE LOSING TO THE ‘ONLY A HERM EDWARDS COACHED TEAM COULD BE MORE HAPLESS THAN WE ARE’ OAKLAND RAIDERS!?! I might as well just start drawing team names out of a hat to pick these games.

NFL Pick ‘Em: Week #7 Wrap-up

Carl from Miami

Well.  Well, well, well.  King Carlos has been reduced to a pauper this week.  And wanna know why?  Instead of letting everybody’s pal, Big Carl, pick games that a blind monkey could come out ahead on, that idiot Miller went ahead and chose this week’s matchups himself!  And look what happened!  0-4.  1-3.  2-2.  And another 2-2.  Our winning percentage is WRECKED.  Here are the new standings:

NFL Pick ‘Em: Week #7

Carl from Miami + Miller Genuine

Carl: Okay, last week broke down like this: I went a respectable 2-2, Miller hit 3-1, the hapless Bill Simmons went 0-4 and the Madden Simulator went 3-1. This puts our standings at: 1) Miller: 10-6; 2) Big CARL!: 9-7; 3) Simmons 9-7; 4) Madden 9-7. The season has been tight so far, but I am confident that my picks will emerge victorious!

Miller Genuine: It’s lonely being at the top…and it’s only going to get lonelier after every week’s picks!

NFL Pick ‘Em: Week #6

Carl from Miami + Miller Genuine

Carl: The favorites all covered last week. That means Miller and I both went 3-1, that damned Simmons went 4-0 and the Madden Simulator went 1-3. Our rankings through last week:
1) Simmons, 9-3 2) Carl, 7-5 3) Miller, 7-5 4) Madden, 6-6

Miller Genuine: Carl and I are both 7-5 on the season, but I notice he ranked himself #2 and me #3. He must have won the scalebreaker…er…i mean…tiebreaker.

NFL Pick ‘Em: Week #5

Carl from Miami + Miller Genuine

Chiefs at Panthers (favored by 10)

Carl: Panthers! Put all the money you have on this! The Chiefs… are terrible. They can’t play at all!

Miller Genuine: I will NEVER, EVER bet on a game involving Herm Edwards unless there’s a gun to my head (or it’s for the blog). The Chiefs lost to the formerly 4-12 Atlanta Falcons by 24 one week and then beat the previously undefeated Denver Broncos by 14 the next week. Everything points to a big Chiefs loss, but I like Damon Huard back in at QB, and this is a classic trap game with the Panthers playing at division leader Tampa next week – Chiefs.

Simmons: Panthers

Madden Simulator: Chiefs

NFL Pick ‘Em: Week #4 Wrap-up

Will from D.C. (formerly Will from New York.  Briefly Will from his parents’ house)

It’s been a while, but I’m finally back and ready to post.  The move took a while, and it seems I am making it around to every NFC East city–God help me if I ever land in Philly.

Here are the results from last week’s picks:

Carl: 2-2, 4-4 overall

Miller Genuine: 1-3, 4-4 overall

Simmons: 3-1, 5-3 overall

Madden Simulator: 4-0, 5-3 overall

This blog collectively sucks at making picks.
