Week 10 2012 NFL Picks

My computer is on the fritz, so I won't be able to engage in any high tech applications. Sorry, Rachelle, I will not be dancing around in a tutu. Nor will you be strutting your stuff in a string bikini either since chances are I won't be able to see it if my computer completely dies by then.

We'll have to decide what the stakes are on Twitter.

Here are my winning picks:

11/11 1:00 ET Buffalo At New England
11/11 1:00 ET NY Giants At Cincinnati
11/11 1:00 ET San Diego At Tampa Bay
11/11 1:00 ET Denver At Carolina
11/11 1:00 ET Tennessee At Miami
11/11 1:00 ET Oakland At Baltimore
11/11 1:00 ET Atlanta At New Orleans
11/11 1:00 ET Detroit At Minnesota

11/11 4:25 ET St. Louis At San Francisco
11/11 8:30 ET Houston At Chicago
11/12 8:40 ET Kansas City At Pittsburgh

Pray for my computer. It held up long enough for me to post this.

Week 9 2012 NFL Picks

Last week, Rachelle and I tied. So the same stakes are out there.

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

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


Here are the picks that are going to have to make Rachelle send her tweet:

11/1 8:25 ET Kansas City At San Diego
11/4 1:00 ET Denver At Cincinnati
11/4 1:00 ET Arizona At Green Bay
11/4 1:00 ET Miami At Indianapolis
11/4 1:00 ET Baltimore At Cleveland
11/4 1:00 ET Buffalo At Houston
11/4 1:00 ET Carolina At Washington

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:
