Week 8 NFL Picks

So, long story short... Beth and I kicked Patrick's booty again last week, making that two week's in a row that he's had to succumb to more and more embarrassment (see right). This week, we go for our third week in a row. With that said, here's Beth and my picks for week 8: Carolina at Chicago: Chicago SD at Cleveland: SD Seattle at Detroit: Detroit Jacksonville at GB: GB Indy at TENN: TENN NE at STL: NE Miami at NYJ: NYJ Atlanta at Philly: Atlanta Washington at Pittsburgh: Pittsburgh Oakland at KC: Oakland NYG at Dallas: NYG NO at Denver: NO SF at Arizona: SF 39

Week 8 2012 NFL Football Picks

Rachelle, I may be a good sport. I am gracious in defeat. But trust me, I'm vicious in victory. So here are my winning picks:

10/28 1:00 ET New England St Louis (At London)
10/28 1:00 ET Indianapolis At Tennessee
10/28 1:00 ET Jacksonville At Green Bay
10/28 1:00 ET San Diego At Cleveland
10/28 1:00 ET Atlanta At Philadelphia
10/28 1:00 ET Seattle At Detroit
10/28 1:00 ET Miami At NY Jets
10/28 1:00 ET Carolina At Chicago
10/28 1:00 ET Washington At Pittsburgh
10/28 4:05 ET Oakland At Kansas City
10/28 4:25 ET NY Giants At Dallas
10/28 8:30 ET New Orleans At Denver
10/29 8:40 ET San Francisco At Arizona


Since I'm at the lake this weekend and will not have the ability to do crafty things like post pictures of heels on my Twitter page or upload photos of me in some liberal's Obama hat, I suggest we keep things simple.

If (and when) I win, you tweet "@ReaganTMan is a lady killer and king of NFL picks. All who follow me are so jealous that he tweets me so much."

If you win, I tweet "I, a lonely old man, was beaten by the beautiful and popular @RachelleFriberg in my NFL picks. I am such a loser."

If I don't respond to anyone right away, it means there's a hurricane hitting where I am. I expect to be slammed by high winds and heavy rain on the way home from Lake Gaston on Sunday. Banzai!

Week 7 2012 NFL Football Picks

There can be no more losses to Rachelle. Having to put pictures of heels on my Twitter page is enough. This manly man is not going to lose to a girl again. It's time to send her home a loser this week.  The stakes are high. I have to tweet a picture of me in an Obama hat if I win and Rachelle has to tweet a picture of her with the words Loser as an overlay.

Here are my picks for this week:

10/21 1:00 ET Tennessee At Buffalo
10/21 1:00 ET Arizona At Minnesota
10/21 1:00 ET Cleveland At Indianapolis
10/21 1:00 ET Baltimore At Houston
10/21 1:00 ET Green Bay At St. Louis
10/21 1:00 ET Dallas At Carolina
10/21 1:00 ET Washington At NY Giants
10/21 1:00 ET New Orleans At Tampa Bay
10/21 4:25 ET NY Jets At New England
10/21 4:25 ET Jacksonville At Oakland
10/21 8:30 ET Pittsburgh At Cincinnati
10/22 8:40 ET Detroit At Chicago

Update: Since Rachelle and I have the same picks we're going to use the Sunday night and Monday night games as the tiebreaker by picking points. The closest one to the actual total of points scored in each game wins that game.

Pittsburgh at Cincinnati 42 points
Detroit at Chicago 44 points

Update: We didn't have the same picks. Rachelle picked New Orleans and I picked Tampa. Gosh, how does a blonde figure out how to do that.

Anyway, here's my concession picture:

Week 7 NFL Picks!!!

Well, Beth and I knew it would happen.... Patrick LOST again last week to us girls. You think he would just make it easy on his blood pressure and give up by now than suffer the heartache he feels each and every week. (Even his friends rib him when he loses.) Perhaps the best part of his losing was the Twitter background that he's had on his page this week. Missed it? No worries! Luckily for a little thing called a screen shot, you can see it displayed on this post (Even if it is a crappy shot). By the way, Patrick, you have EXCELLENT taste in heels. Those babies cost almost $900. I will lay off of Patrick (for now). Here are Beth and my Week Seven NFL picks: TENN at Buffalo: Buffalo Cleveland at Indy: INDY GB at STL: GB Arizona at Minnesota: Minnesota Washington at NYG: NYG NO at TB: NO Dallas at Carolina: Dallas Baltimore at Houston: Houston Jacksonville at Oakland: Oakland NYJ at NE: NE Pittsburgh at Cincy: Pittsburgh Detroit at Chicago: Chicago

Week 5 2012 NFL Football Picks

Girls aren't supposed to win football pools. This week, I will prove once again that I am #WinnerTMan.

I'm going to leave it to Rachelle to pick the loser's tweet this week. What's fair is fair.

This way, when I win, she can't say I picked the tweet again this week.

Good luck to the rest of you all who join us this week. Rick Santorum and Rachelle Friberg tied for the best picks last week.
