NFL weekly pick's contest (season long) 2018

[touch]

[

 

Felt good about the Eagles -3 and Panthers +1 at home. Newton heats up about this time of the year and he did not disappoint. We marvel over Patrick Mahomes and youngsters like Trubisky and Mayfield. We watch in awe when seasoned veterans like Brady, Rodgers who almost beat the Rams, Big Ben, win big games, but the guy who has never had a great supporting cast, and because of his freakish size would get hacked like Shaq when he played for L.A., decided to be a bit childish at times, failed to recover a fumble in the Super Bowl, gets a pretty bad rap. He runs and takes a lot of punishment to pick up crucial yards and first downs when the game is in the balance, connects on many third down tries to everyone in the route tree. Wide receivers, slot receivers, tight ends, running backs, or he will just take it and run. Probably the most efficient goal line running back since the days of Shaun Alexander. Won many a fantasy leagues with Shaun Alexander LoL.

 

Yes, we are talking about Mr. Panther himself the man everyone loves to hate and hates to love. Superman Cam Newton

My QB's to run my team. 1. Aaron Rodgers 2 Brady 3 Brees 4 Newton 5 Rivers Not bad Company. If Mahomes brings Andy Reid and the Chiefs a title, or DeShaun Watson wins in Houston, I would move them up into the Top 5 club but not yet. Big Ben takes to much punishment. But he deserves a mention.

 

Worst Quarterbacks Club where would one begin? Any Buffalo QB? Eli Manning for Sure is in that club. Jameis Winston unrealized talent??? Ryan Tannehill flounders in the floodplains of Miami, must be the rising seas?? But I think I will nominate the most relevant QB who just signed a new deal...Not Kirk Cousins, but the other Florida mistake and that is Blake Bortles of the Jaguars. He is the definition of the word "Bumbling." Florida... where you can go and sweat, eat old world Italian food, where spaghetti sauce in Fort Lauderdale is still called gravy, and pick any team and watch terrible quarterback play on a weekly basis. Unless!!!! a bearded man makes an appearance down in the Gulf Coastal area in Tampa Bay.

 

Week 8 2-1 Overall 13- 10 -1

Your Superman is overrated Stylish gent though......for realzzzzzzzzz

 

 

Circus Panther !

 

Though he does pull some late 4th quarter winning magic out of that Ring Master arm (and power legs) of his regularly this year.

Does his arm accuracy stay constant game to game ?? Cam's throwing accuracy sure doesn't equal his toughness.

 

Good post though cuz doctoro

[CHuntsman]

Thanks Buccs for taking horrid QB Winston out and putting the beard in.

Lost it with the back door cover. Oh well, that was my first positive win total week in many moons.

 

Seattle +3 the better team is getting points here W

 

Cincinnati - 4 1/2 tampa's D is atrocious. L

 

Chicago -7 in Mitch I put my trust W

for the week 2-1

for the season 11-13 .

I'm still the last place basement dweller!

On the bright side the Redskins beat Dallas and the absolutely trash NY Giants in Back to Back weeks.

The burgundy and gold in first place in the East.

 

httr

 

May I join you in the pit of misery??

 

YES

You may.

Look Q left half a pack of Marlboro's and 1/2 bottle of Woodford Reserve right by his recliner.

It is yours now CHuntsman, oh and welcome to the cellar.

Oh and one more thing. The Bud Light long necks are all mine.

 

Works perfect, I'm a can man! :drinks:

He's "Cam I am"!

Bringing the Deion Sanders swag game up a level.

Loves the swag! He promotes himself but still plays for the team. I am ok with that. He is a dynamic player who runs with the ball and is successfully doing it. Hopefully, Norv will help him evolve even more so he can have a longer career, and be considered one of the best QB's in the game

16-8 for the season.

I woke up with the feeling i would like to be the horse in the play "Equus" having suffered from $37M in campaign advertising in a market where a news show ad spot is $250 (that's 148,000 commercials, or 74,000 minutes, or roughly 51 days worth of commercials if run back to back). Please, just come in and kill me. Thank the stars though, many are already prepping for 2020, wouldn't want a short respite of despicable ads. But I digress, there are some wonderful short novels every person should read, including Equus, and I would put Old Man and the Sea, Sidhartha, and Night in that category.

 

And the slate of games this week sucks, I mean really, they suck. I just upped my cable package to make sure I could catch the riveting Raider/Niner game, or who wants to miss the offensive fireworks of the Jets and Brock, how about Trubisky and whoever? In today's NFL, they could fall over and still cover over of 37 points. Well, not me! I don't know if I will be able to get off my couch this week. But the pick em game is afoot, and here I go.

 

In a nod to Siddhartha, I have to take Andy Reid. There are a lot of Buddha looking coaches, but I feel like his ability to get the best out of his team is unsurpassed this season. I suspect he is in for a wonderful experience in the afterlife as he has reached the levels necessary as ascribed by Theravada Buddhists for a happy afterlife. I can tell, you Patrick Mahomes has certainly helped him attain his Zen consciousness. KC and the points.

 

In the nod to Old Man and the Sea, I am going to take NE over the Pack. I don't love this pick, but I just feel it. NE was built on the backs of cod fishermen, and while they don't hold the same panache as a marlin, its fishing nonetheless. I also like NE Clam Chowder. That team just seems to win, and I think they will again at home against the Packers. I am just not sure they will cover the points. As an aside, there is a fascinating book about Cod and the impact over fishing has had on our oceans. So, NE and the points.

 

Onto Equus, if you need a horse, James Conner is the guy. He is putting up Le'Veon Bell numbers, and if the OC can see to running the ball this time, the Steelers will not only cover, but probably win the game. I like where they are going, and most of these games are last minute FGs to win, so I like this play. I mentioned earlier (Sunday with the weekly report) the events of the past weekend at a PGH synagogue, and if you haven't heard, definitely look it up. If the meaning of the event is lost, then you can pick up a copy of Night by Elie Weisel for $0.98 on Amazon to get a very real and humanizing historical perspective on what just went down.

 

Until Tuesday, I will be wrapped up in a snuggie meekly asking for it all to stop...

N.E. -5 1/2

After Week 8, when 9/13 games didn't cover the O/U, I'm going with 2 Overs - pendulum, right? Houston has won 5 games in a row and is getting points vs a mediocre team... what am I missing?

That 37.5 O/U for the Chi/Buff game looks pretty tempting, but the Bills are scoring < 11 pts/game and haven't scored > 13 pts in a game since Sept 23. That leaves a lot of territory Chicago has to cover while playing on the road. Pass.

 

I smell a 3-0 week here ... fingers crossed the wind doesn't shift.

Parents better pony up and stop with the random 1 Starburst or stray lollipop. Get down to Costco and buy the Mega bag of MARS confections. Reeses, Almond Joy, Snickers, Twix, Kit Kat.

SO the adults can have some treats as well!
