OK, clearly the NFL was in the Halloween mood during the first week of October because I got more trick than treat last week. An 8-6 record?? That’s as unacceptable as casting Ben Affleck as Batman. The hideous record brings the Sports Mans mark down to 49-28 for the season. Still winning more games than losing with a 64% rate […]
I’ve never been so depressed being right. Yesterday I picked the Chicago Bears to upend the New York Giants. In fact, I was pretty close with predicting the final score. I said The Bears would win 27-17, they wound up with a 27-21 victory. I know I’m supposed to be neutral when discussing these games but darn it, my beloved […]
12-3 last week!! That’s what the SportsMan is talking about! Yes, I referred to myself in the third person. When you win 80% of your picks in a given week you can do that. The bounce back week 4 has brought my overall season record to a nice 41-22. My .650 win percentage would put me on top in both […]
Ok, clearly I was the victim of a cruel joke played by the NFL last week. I mean, how else do I go 7-9?? Green Bay lost the Cincinnati? Yeah, good one NFL. The Vikings lost to a third string quarterback? Sure, it could happen (said sarcastically). 12 wins to 10 wins to 7 wins. My record’s falling faster than […]
10-6??? In the immortal words of Vince Lombardi: What the hell’s going on out there?? How did I get worse from week 1 to week 2? This is intolerable!! San Diego mismanaged the clock and cost me. Dallas showed its inconsistencies already and cost me. Oakland just sucks and cost me. So you see, the lousy record last week wasn’t […]
12-4. That was the SportsMans record last week. Not a bad first week. With that record I would have won six of the eight divisions last year. While it was respectable by my standards, it wasn’t perfect. Let’s see if I can do a little better this time around. Here’s the week 2 edition of picks… New England over New […]
