2011-2012 Week 17 Picks NFL

#1 Sportsfan — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 16:54:32 +0000

So we have ended up doing pretty well considering all of the set backs that we have faced here. I have a feeling we are going to have another good week. I think picking games at the end of the season can tend to be an easier job than those at the beginning of it. For one, you have seen all the teams play the entire season so one would think that it would be pretty easy to pick the winners at this point. The second reason I like picking them now is that a lot of teams have already solidified their spots in the playoffs and therefore will probably only play their starters for a quarter, or maybe even just a series. Its the final week of the season and everyone is scrambling to make the playoffs. Probably the key game of the entire weekend is going to be the Cowboys/Giants game which will come down to who has the better offense. I have a feeling that the Giants are going to be able to pull it out in the end. The Cowboys have done pretty much everything in their power this season to try to stay out of the playoff hunt and I really do not see anything changing today. So here are our Week 17 Picks:

Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers – Detroit Lions
San Francisco 49ers @ St. Louis Rams – San Francisco 49ers
Carolina Panthers @ New Orleans Saints – New Orleans Saints (High Scoring Game)
Tennessee Titants @ Houston Texans – Houston Texans
Kansas City Chiefs @ Denver Broncos – Denver Broncos
Dallas Cowboys @ New York Giants – Dallas Cowboys

2011 NFL Picks Week 9

#1 Sportsfan — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 14:39:19 +0000

After one of the worst weeks in Sidelineblog history, we have decided to go a more conservative route. We have picked 7 games all of which are near guaranteed picks. If you are crazy like us, you will go with the Eagles against the Bears.

Jets @ Bills – Jets
Seahawks @ Cowboys – Cowboys
Falcons @ Colts – Falcons
Bucaneers @ Saints – Saints
Browns @ Texans – Texans
Broncos @ Raiders – Broncos
Bears @ Eagles – Eagles

2011 NFL Picks Week 8

#1 Sportsfan — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 01:44:54 +0000

So far this season was going pretty well until last week. It took a few late game rally’s for me to go .500 last week. The Ravens really sucked it up last night against the Jaguars. I was trying to figure out if the Ravens and Joe Flacco were that bad, or if the Jaguars were just playing some inspired football. I know the Jaguars are really not that great, but they made the Ravens look stupid last night. I believe the Dallas Cowboys might have saved their season with a huge win over the St. Louis Rams. I think they are giving their fans (like me) hope for the rest of the season (as long as Tony Uh Oh stays home).

Here are my picks for this weekend (All Times are Central Standard):

Arizona Cardinals @ Baltimore Ravens – 1:00PM - Baltimore
Minnesota Vikings @ Carolina Panthers – 1:00PM – Carolina
New Orleans Saints @ St. Louis Rams – 1:00PM – New Orleans
Detroit Lions @ Denver Broncos – 3:05PM – Denver Broncos
Cleveland Browns @ San Francisco 49ers – 3:15PM – Cleveland
New England Patriots @ Pittsburgh Steelers – 3:15PM – New England
Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles – 7:20PM – Dallas
San Diego Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs – MON 7:30PM – San Diego

Here are our previous results for the season:

Week 1: 3-3
Week 2: 3-3
Week 3: 7-0
Week 4: 5-2
Week 5: 6-2
Week 6: 5-4
Week 7: 4-4

Totals For Season: 30-13 (Roughly 70%)

2011 NFL Picks Week 7

#1 Sportsfan — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 12:57:11 +0000

We have been doing pretty decent so far this season. We thought we would do better considering we are picking more games per week this season. Apparently it just makes the results blend in. About half and half honestly which has definitely become our worst season so far, but we are skeptical that this could possibly go on. See, once you have had a chance to see most of these games, you get a feel for how the team is going to do for the rest of the season. You just need to stay on top of injury reports, make sure the right players who are the best for that game are starting in the game. Each team is different and it may seem like its a lot to handle but thats why we have a team behind out picks. They may not be the best and the brightest (judging by this years picks) but they get the job done and 5 heads are better than 1.

Picks for this week:

San Diego Chargers @ New York Jets – San Diego Chargers

Washington Redskins @ Carolina Panthers – Washington Redskins

Seattle Seahawks @ Cleveland Browns – Cleveland Browns

Atlanta Falcons @ Detroit Lions – Detroit Lions

Kansas City Chiefs@ Oakland Raiders- Oakland Raiders

Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings – Green Bay Packers

St. Louis Rams @ Dallas Cowboys – Dallas Cowboys

Indianapolis Colts @ New Orleans Saints – New Orleans Saints

2011 NFL Picks Week 6

#1 Sportsfan — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 23:07:20 +0000

So far this season we have been pretty much even again. We are definitely getting better though. We are picking more wins than losses and we are getting the games we lock every time. This week we are taking some pretty hardcore chances with our picks. We are picking the Bengals over the Colts which has never happened in SidelineBlog history. We are picking the Bills over the Giants and the Cowboys over the Patriots. The Eagles over the Redskins I feel is probably just hoping for the best but I truly believe that if Michael Vick can keep the turnovers down, they have the best team on the field everytime they step onto it.

Colts @ Bengals – Bengals
49ers @ Lions – Lions
Rams @ Packers – Packers
Bills @ Giants – Bills
Eagles @ Redskins – Eagles
Texans @ Ravens – Ravens
Cowboys @ Patriots – Cowboys
Saints @ Buccaneers – Saints
Dolphins @ Jets – Jets

2011 NFL Picks Week 5

#1 Sportsfan — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 21:57:00 +0000

Here are our picks for week five. We have been about even so far this season but you better believe that our picks are just going to get better and better as the season goes on. Once we have had time to diagnose each team and how they play together, we should be able to pinpoint almost the exact score of the games in the future. Each play of each game goes into our algorithms. No one is perfect obviously, but we try to be as close as possible. The Eagles are really making it hard for me to choose them but as you can see we have gone with them once again this week. Take this pick with a grain of salt though as we are definitely Michael Vick fans. If he can keep the turnovers down then I know he can make it past the Bills.

Eagles @. Bills – Eagles
Chiefs @ Colts – Colts
Cardinals @ Vikings – Vikings
Saints @ Panthers – Saints
Bengals @ Jaguars – Bengals
Chargers @ Broncos – Chargers
Jets @ Patriots – Patriots
Bears @ Lions – Lions

#1 Sportsfan — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 15:36:20 +0000

Detroit @ Dallas – Dallas by 3
San Fran @ Philly – Philly by 7
New Orleans @ Jacksonville – New Orleans by 13
Pittsburgh @ Houston – Houston by 4
Denver @ Green Bay – Green Bay by 6
New England @ Oakland – New England by 10
Indianapolis @ Tampa Bay – Tampa Bay by 8

2011 Week 3 NFL Picks

#1 Sportsfan — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 14:53:32 +0000

Well, after a huge week of football I am getting excited about today’s NFL games. Last week was a crazy one for sure as it saw some pretty hardcore upsets. Last week we went 3-3 which is obviously the worst week we have ever had I think. Anyways, we have a whole new fresh list of picks for you because .500 is not where we want to be right now. Tennessee beating Baltimore is something that I never want to see again. That was a really rough loss haha. There are some pretty good games this weekend with some great rivalries. The Cowboys are taking on the Redskins for Monday Night Football which is one of the biggest rivalries in NFL history.
