ProFootball Pickem Week 2
Ok, so since I was a measly 50% last week with a 8 for 8 count, let’s take a look at this weeks picks and see how I do. I picked a couple more upsets than normal because I am trying a newer strategy this year, you will see them below. My picks are in BOLD.
| Favorite | Underdog | Final |
| Atlanta | vs Carolina | 6.5 |
| Minnesota | @ Detroit | 10 |
| Green Bay | vs Cincinnati | 9 |
| Tennessee | vs Houston | 6.5 |
| Kansas City | vs Oakland | 3 |
| New England | @ New York (NYJ) | 3.5 |
| Philadelphia | vs New Orleans | 0 |
| Washington | vs St. Louis | 10 |
| Jacksonville | vs Arizona | 3 |
| Buffalo | vs Tampa Bay | 5 |
| San Francisco | vs Seattle | 1.5 |
| Pittsburgh | @ Chicago | 3 |
| Denver | vs Cleveland | 3 |
| San Diego | vs Baltimore | 3 |
| Dallas | vs New York (NYG) | 3 |
| Indianapolis | @ Miami | 3 |
Hopefully I will be able to do a tad better this week. I like to at least get 10 or more right. The top picker in my league last week had 14 out of 16 correct! I have a lot of work to do if I plan to catch up!
ProFootball Pickem Week 1
This week there was a Thursday game so I had to get my picks in early. The first week is always a little tough because you just aren’t sure how the teams have developed throughout the preseason. I usually just go with my gut on the first week, so here is my pick for Thursdays, against the spread. (bold = my pick)
| Favorite | Underdog | Final |
| Pittsburgh | vs Tennessee | 6 |
| Atlanta | vs Miami | 4 |
| Cincinnati | vs Denver | 4 |
| Minnesota | @ Cleveland | 4 |
| Indianapolis | vs Jacksonville | 7 |
| New Orleans | vs Detroit | 13 |
| Dallas | @ Tampa Bay | 6 |
| Philadelphia | @ Carolina | 1.5 |
| Baltimore | vs Kansas City | 13 |
| Houston | vs New York (NYJ) | 4.5 |
| New York (NYG) | vs Washington | 6.5 |
| Arizona | vs San Francisco | 6.5 |
| Seattle | vs St. Louis | 8.5 |
| Green Bay | vs Chicago | 3.5 |
| New England | vs Buffalo | 11 |
| San Diego | @ Oakland | 9.5 |
As you can see, I have picked my teams (in bold) and the spread is listed right next to the game. On Tuesday or Wednesday I will be updating my “score” for the year, so stay tuned for that. Follow me every week to see how well I do this year. I will keep my stats posted in the sidebar.
Yahoo Pro Football Pickem Picks, Pools and More
This year is the 5th that I will be attempting to win a Yahoo Pro Football Pickem pool that people I know have set up. Basically, all that I have to do is pick winners each week, against the spread. Yeah, I know that it sounds so easy, but let me tell you about being a Packer fan….
This year, I thought that I would post my picks and see what others think of them. I am also going to keep a log of how well (or not) I do throughout the season. This way, if you are having issues coming up with a team to pick each week, you can bookmark this blog and check back to see who I chose as winners.
I am going to pick my top 5 winners each and every week. I am also going to keep track of my record vs. the spread. I would like to encourage you to return every week to see how I do this season. If you want you can leave comments as to how you did or if you used my picks to win in your pro football league.
