It’s difficult to get a read on the NFL for the first few weeks of the season. And week two presents another collection of unpredictable match-ups. Here are our picks: (more…)
I saw Peyton Manning doing another cheesy commercial the other day. This time he was inviting Eli over on Sunday to watch NFL Sunday Ticket. Eli was preparing to play a game.
Yes, Peyton is retired, but – the more things change, the more they stay the same. It seems we’ll still be able to count on him for some doofus TV ads. Those eye-rolling gems mean we’re just a couple days short of the kickoff of another NFL season.
And in keeping with the way the NFL does things, there are some good, tough games to pick in week one. We’re 80 percent back from last year, with Andy, Tony, John and Anthony returning to show our game-picking skills, or lack thereof. Here is our effort for week one. (more…)
Road teams ruled the wild card round, but home teams have come back with a vengeance. In the six games since they are undefeated.

Ok, it’s been 17 weeks and the riffraff has been eliminated. It’s down to 12. And this week’s wild card round has four solid, interesting games on the slate. Tony won the regular season pick segment. Can he keep it up in the playoffs?
Here’s who we think wins this weekend:
