Week 14 Picks

In lieu of telling you what will happen in this week’s games, I’m going to simply give one word responses to each matchup.  Consider it the greatest word association idea ever.  At least that’s what I consider it to be.

Ugh.
Cowbys 44, Lions 14
God.
Bengals 28, Rams 24
Disappointing.
Packers 35, Raiders 21
Overpromotion.
Buccaneers 17, Texans [...]

Week 13 Picks

It’s easy to say this now, but I did have the Cowboys winning on Thursday night. 
 I’m far too much of a procrastinator to have finished all of my picks three days before Sunday, and these Thursday night games have an awful way of creeping up on me.

I knew the Packers were in trouble from [...]

Week 12 Picks

The debut of Frank TV was met with a rather ambivalent shrug in the Lee household. The show, which is a series of sketch comedy routines from impressionist Frank Caliendo, was good at times and awkward at times and funny at times. The main problem, though, was that it didn’t have enough John Madden skits.Basically, [...]

Week 11 Picks

Rick Reilly and Dan Patrick will be essentially changing jobs in the near future, which is far smaller news than people may make it seem.
Both have become caricatures of themselves—Reilly with his inane storytelling and media blitz and Patrick with his self-promotion and glibness. And neither will make as much of a [...]

Week Nine Picks

I don’t pick NFL games very well.

I pick NFL games extremely well.

Last week, I nailed every single one of my choices, going a perfect 12-0.  My streak was remarkable, considering I made most of my picks in a Starbucks listening to some sort of loud indie pop and wondering why the guy across the room [...]

Week Eight Picks

It’s cute how baseball takes the nation by storm once every year. 

Oh, wait.  Did I say nation?  I meant Boston and most of Denver.  The rest of us don’t really care that much about what’s going on, which makes the NFL’s annual favor to MLB of not broadcasting a Sunday night game to make [...]

Week Seven Picks

I finally had a good week picking games in Week Six.  And while the facts may make it seem like my good week was mere coincidence, I like to think of it as my genius finally taking over.
Therefore, picking games is simply no longer hard enough.  Now I’m going to tell you exactly what will [...]

Week Six Picks

Picking games against the spread last week was a disaster.  It got worse when I realized I was not good at math and still have a hard time understanding what being “plus-four” means. 
That said, the weekly picks are going back to a straight-up version.  I never did like change anyway.There is a good variety [...]
