Colston is out and that's gonnaake things tough. Brees gonna need game of his life tonight. The Falcons are undefeated and they are looking good. The defense should feast on this Saints team and the offense should put together some pretty good drives to get this win.

Let's go.
Baltimore @ Pittsburgh
The Steelers bring out their rusty dusty backup in Michael Vick after Big Ben's injury. This will be a test against a wounded Ravens team so we'll have to see how well Vick plays. I'm rooting for you Vick.
The Ravens need a win, nothing more nothing less. Last week they were Inquisitive Mindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12922088798894467491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22967616.post-7836169182328023582015-09-24T18:48:00.000-05:002015-09-27T12:23:21.757-05:002015-16 NFL Week 3 Picks
Washington @ New York Giants
The Giants come in 0-2 after giving up two W's in the 4th quarter of their last two games. Eli has something to prove, even though he hasn't thrown a pick yet this year. Giants fans, keep praying about this. Not sure that the Giants are going to have enough talent to beat a surprising (redacted) team with OBJ and Ben Vereen being the top targets Inquisitive Mindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12922088798894467491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22967616.post-49493040113272397492015-09-17T16:42:00.000-05:002015-09-18T11:40:12.321-05:002015-16 NFL Week 2 Picks
Denver @ Kansas City
The Broncos come into KC with the media (and everyone else) wondering if Manning is done and a great defense. The Broncos escaped with a win last week against Baltimore, more because of their defense than anything they were able to do on the offensive side of the ball. Rumors swirled around Manning's arm strength and whether the noodle is already gone week 2 Inquisitive Mindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12922088798894467491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22967616.post-31432858692516053632015-09-14T12:33:00.000-05:002015-09-17T16:27:59.278-05:002015-16 NFL Week 1 Results
Pittsburgh @ New England
Welp, I guess Tom Brady
(25 of 32, 281 yds, 4 TDs) wanted to prove to all of us that it’s not the
amount of air in the balls, but what you do with the balls that count. The Patriots blasted the Steelers and what
makes it worse if that they seem to do it with ease. Both of their tight ends (Gronk 5 rec, 94
yds, 3 TDs; Scott Chandler 1 rec, 1 yd, 1 TD) Inquisitive Mindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12922088798894467491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22967616.post-31739576956012306012015-09-13T03:17:00.000-05:002015-09-13T03:17:06.015-05:002015-16 NFL Week 1 Picks Continued
Green Bay @ Chicago
The Chicago Bears begin the season with a new coach, a new
GM, and hopefully a new outlook on what professional football should look like
in Chicago. The offense looks somewhat
similar to last years with the caveat that there are a lot of injuries with
their starting wideouts (Kevin White, Alshon Jeffery, Eddie Royal, and Marques
Wilson ). The biggest question isInquisitive Mindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12922088798894467491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22967616.post-82593547866076992432015-09-10T16:20:00.000-05:002015-09-10T16:20:55.443-05:002015-16 NFL Week 1 Picks
Welp, I got the itch to start writing again and this seems
like a great time. I will probably have
to play with the format a little to make sure that I am providing good content,
but I’m sure you’ll enjoy. Ok, now we’re
done with that,…let’s get back to NFL football.
Welcome 2015-16 NFL Season, you have been sorely missed.

Games start soon so I have to get my Thursday pick in now.
Indianapolis @ Tenessee - These Colts sold me out last week so I need for them to right the ship. I felt this team is one of those that runs and passes well and they remind me of those good NFC East teams from years ago.

Washington @ Minnesota - Look for RGIII to have a good game and the Redskins to win a tough one. Winner - Redskins
Seattle @ Atlanta - The Seahawks comes across the country and they have been starting slow lately. The Falcons have just sucked and I really have no words for them.

Cincinnati @ Miami - We get arguably the best defense in the league right now and a Dolphins team that seems to be taking multiple steps backwards. Home team should have some juice, but not enough for a win. Winner - Bengals.
Kansas City @ Buffalo - Chiefs go into Buffalo and stay undefeated.

Carolina @ Tampa Bay - The worst team in the NFL plays the Panthers,...what do you think? How many days left in this Schiano regime again? Winner - Panthers.

After going back and looking at everything, maybe it was best that I didn't look at the numbers of W's and L's with my picks. If you followed them and bet any money, you're probably in the unemployment line by now.

That is just not acceptable. Winner - Bears.

Lets see what we got.
Buffalo @ Cleveland - The Browns have made all of us look silly by winning their last two since trading Richardson. Can they get 3 in a row? The Browns have been playing some good tough defense and I expect much of the same. Winner - Browns

Let's see what happens.
San Francisco @ St. Louis - This is simple, we need a pulse from these 49ers. They have to show up and play, forget that, win this game. They are 0-3 and they are struggling. They've been hit with injuries, but this is a divisional game and they are going to need this W.

Better week last week, but still looking for perfection.
Kansas City @ Philadelphia - We knew that the NFL would schedule this game at some point, and they put it on a Thursday night with nothing else to distract you from it. The Eagles need a performance from their defense if they are going to win this game. The offense should do well as long as Vick Inquisitive Mindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12922088798894467491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22967616.post-3320877046256914112013-09-15T10:32:00.000-05:002013-09-15T10:32:50.427-05:002013-14 NFL Week 2 PicksBad week last week and I'm still a little pissed so I haven't even done my wrap up for last week yet. It'll be short, but it's coming up. Let's turn it around this week. I'm going to jump in since I have to get Thursday's pick up. Leh go,......

Well it's been a minute but as the NFL season approaches, it's time for me to get back to this blogging thing. Lots has happened over my brief hiatus, but like the quote from above, I'm back to give you guys hell and enjoy myself the entire time. Maybe this time away made me better. We'll see.

We're down to 8 teams and may the best win.
Baltimore @ Denver - The next step in the Ray Lewis Retirement Roadshow goes to cold Denver. The snow/sleet has already fallen and by gametime, it should be brutally cold. A lot of people don't give the Ravens a chance to win because Manning has beat this team consistently over the years.

Things couldn't be better unless your team happens to be at home for the playoffs. Let's jump right in and see if we can pick some winners.
Cincinnati @ Houston - I think this is the best way to start the weekend off. The Bengals travel to Houston with hopes of upsetting the Texans at home.

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Lets jump in because we got our first game up soon.
New Orleans @ Atlanta - The Saints need this game badly in order to think about playoffs. They are normally successful against the Falcons but these are the new Falcons right? Should be a shoot out.
