NFL Confidence Picks Week 16 12/22 To 12/23/2013
What we had last week is an example of why they play the games. One thing of note we saw was a field goal kicker score all 18 of his teams points for a win. Hats off to Ravens kicker, JUSTIN TUCKER. And just for the record. the hit to Bengal punter, Kevin Huber may or may not have been illegal, BUT, I DO BELIEVE : The Steelers were playing their usual dirty tactic game PLUS. It was reminiscent of little brats who think if we can’t beat them lets HURT THEM. Tis a shame to see this in any adult activity. Specially when at that level it is ALL about money. WINNING, is a secondary thing. Only need wins to get more MONEY. I will fill in my picks Thursday. Until then feel free to: Just copy and paste for your own Fun Pool Use.

NFL Confidence Picks Week 14 12/05 To 12/09/2013
Last week was a so-so week for me. I’d bet many of you beat me. Before I get to my picks I would like to point out an article I read in USA Today. Talking about what a surprise Seattle QB Russell Wilson is. If I may direct you to my post of January, 13,2012. https://fromthemiddle.blog/2012/01/13/ In this post you will notice I had Wilson as a top 3 QB, and the type of team all 3 would be ideal for. Unfortunately for one of the three was thrown into the fire pre-maturely. Read the post and see who. In a follow up article I stated that if the COLTS chose Andrew they would have to release most of the starters and build around him. (I Believe they did this) Here are my picks. I must say the San Francisco-Seattle match up is a poser for me. My Mind says one thing and the math says another. So I will remain true to my method and go with the numbers (reluctantly). The Atlanta -Green Bay game, mathematically speaking came up a draw. So in case of a draw i go with the home team; that 12th man thing, and the fact that home teams seem to get a break on the calls. IT APPEARS WE HAD A RECORD BREAKING SUNDAY. 90 TOUCHDOWNS (OR SO I AM TOLD) ; AND A RECORD SETTING 64 YARD FIELD GOAL. BY DENVER BRONCHOS MATT PRATER. WOW! What a Sunday And of course i missed the kind of games i enjoy watching most. a good old snowy field. I could have watched the Detroit vs Philadelphia game. Had I been home. But family obligations took me away. And of course not a TV anywhere. I know many of the players enjoy these games too. They tell me it is like being a kid again, playing in the snow. Therefore we have a fun game for player and fan. Have fun. Good Luck I will fill in my picks Thursday. Until then feel free to: Just copy and paste for your own Fun Pool Use.

NFL Confidence Picks Week 12 11/21–25/2013
Not a bad week 100 points of 120. Houston let me down or Oakland had a really good game. Wasn’t broadcast in my area. But on the upside I was only off 2 points . I really would like to know what was going on in the mind (assuming he was using it), Indianapolis Colt’s linebacker, Erik Walden, Using his HELMET to head butt another player without his helmet. Perhaps, he was thinking, I really would like to have next week off. Expensive, week off, but it worked. What I think they forgot was to have all the Titans give him a helmeted head butt to his unhelmeted head. After all let the punishment fit the crime. Enough basking in last weeks glory. Now for this weeks. I will fill in my picks Thursday. Until then feel free to: I may be a little heavy toward the home teams, this week. But you do have that 12 th man in close games. Eight of the games came out close (in my calculati0ns). An average of 1.1 difference between the eight. Thus you have to factor that 12 th man, while allowing for gut feeling.

NFL Confidence Picks Week 11 11/14–18/2013
A really tough week. Nothing to be proud of here, except the effort. Both, by the teams which pulled off MAJOR and MINOR upsets; and by myself, for enduring the pain of my worst week ever. This week we saw two team, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers; win there first games of the year. Sure they were bound to win at least one game this year. BUT, with both winning the same week……well that just puts a really big hole in one’s confidence score. As for the COLTS loss; that was a possibility I had considered, without Reggie Wayne, there is a gaping hole in the offense. I felt the Colts team would be able to plug that hole this week. I think they have the crew to do that; it will only take more than one game. Maybe this week or next they will have plugged the hole sufficiently to be a contender again. BUT, (there is always that but), if you happened to overlook the RAMS’ defense the last two or three weeks, THEY just keep getting better and better. Not being a sportswriter, I will close my comments now. I will fill in my picks Thursday. Until then feel free to: Just copy and paste for your own Fun Pool Use. Or to see if you can beat me.

NFL Confidence Picks Week 9 10-31–11-4 2013
What an ugly game Monday night. Too many flags; but isn’t that true in more and more games this year. Probably the best play this week was Pryor;s 93 yard touchdown scamper. (Longest by a QB.) On the other hand the UGLIEST play was Seattle’s TATE, taunting TD. His actions show how immature some of the PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES are. Maybe why a goodly amount of these instant millionaires are broke a few years down the line. With this kind of maturity, one wonders what occupation they would be in, if he had not been fortunate enough to make the big leagues. I am pretty proud of my picks. I only missed 3 games, and gave up 11 points. HOW did you do? DID you beat me? Probably not. Good Luck this week. I will fill in my picks Thursday.
