By J-Pod   |  No Comments

Back again, back again this time it’s Week 10. Now that we’re in the double digits in terms of weeks maybe we can get some people in double digits in terms of wins again. In case you missed anything the last few weeks, let’s get you up to speed. Lindsay has come roaring into a tie with Mikey while Annie who was dominating in the first few weeks of the competition has stumbled through the last few weeks. How will everyone fare this week? Check the pics and judge for yourself. And away we go:

Season: 58-49 = 54%

I have been on a tremendous roll of picking almost every game incorrectly! This stunning achievement in complete and utter failure must count for something, right?! The fail was so beautiful, even Joey took the time out of his busy schedule of watching Youtube videos and pretending to punch Mikey in the head to remark upon it.

So here we go. Week 11, please be kinder to me!

Miami Dolphins v Carolina Panthers: Miami Dolphins(+3)
Detroit Lions v Cleveland Browns: Detroit Lions(-3.5)
San Francisco 49ers v Green Bay Packers: Green Bay Packers(-6.5)
Pittsburgh Steelers v Kansas City Chiefs: Pittsburgh Steelers(-10) (I don’t eve have any reasons for picking these things anymore)
Atlanta Falcons v New York Giants: New York Giants(-6.5) (at least they couldn’t fail me last week…)
New Orleans Saints v Tampa Bay Buccaneers: New Orleans Saints(-11.5)
Bufallo Bills v Jacksonville Jaguars: Jacksonville Jaguars(-8.5) (The Bills organization is a mess)
Indianapolis Colts v Baltimore Ravens: Baltimore Ravens(+1) (here’s hoping they’re the ones who can dethrone the Colts)
Seattle Seahawks v Minnesota Vikings: Seattle Seahawks(+10.5) (why not?!)
Arizona Cardinals v St. Louis Rams:  Arizona Cardinals(-9)
New York Jets v New England Patriots: New York Jets(+10.5)
Cincinnati Bengals v Oakland Raiders: Cincinnati Bengals(-9.5)
San Diego Chargers v Denver Broncos: Denver Broncos(+3) (my friend Sara lives there)
Philadelphia Eagles v Chicago Bears: Philadelphia Eagles(-3)
Houston Texans v Tennessee Titans: Houston Texans(-5)
Washington Redskins v Dallas Cowboys: Dallas Cowboys(-11)


These will all be wrong. I advise you to use a #2 pencil and to not copy off of my test.

Happy picking! See you at week 12!!
