NFL Week 11 recap

Week 11 of 17 is in the books with a bit more entertaining results than last week. Some tight games, fewer blowouts, some OT games, all that like. Thanksgiving Day starts Week 12 and it will start the whole playoff talk even though I mentioned about playoffs a few weeks ago. It isn’t usually until Thanksgiving when the playoff talk starts to heat up. Here’s the recap:

Miami 14, Buffalo 19: Had Miami winning. The game was on my birthday (November 15th) and it was a tight contest in the 4th quarter. Both teams are 4-6 right now in a tighter division then quite a few people had thought (including me). Despite the loss I still had a good birthday. 🙂

Green Bay 24, Detroit 20: Had Green Bay winning. A tighter game for the Packers against a very struggling Lions team that was looking to get back into the postseason. It certainly almost happened when Mason Crosby missed 2 of 3 field goals that were definitely make able field goals. Ugly win but even ugly wins are better than good losses I suppose… right?

Arizona 19, Atlanta 23: Had the Falcons winning. Matty Ice lived up to its second meaning in this one. Seriously Matt Ryan was cold as a Foreigner tribute band singing  “Cold As Ice.” Not 1, not 2, certainly not 3, not even 4 but 5 interceptions for Matt Ryan. They didn’t deserve to win it but the Falcons seriously should be looking at themselves in the face after this one. Cardinals almost pulled off a great upset.

Tampa Bay 27, Carolina 21 (OT/F): Had Buccaneers winning. Really one of the great games of the weekend. Doug Martin had another great game to further solidify his offensive rookie of the year stock. Cam Newton had this one in the bag really…

Cleveland 20, Dallas 23 (OT/F): Had Cowboys winning. Had another bad feeling in my gut with this one and this was merely evident in the game if you watched it. Cleveland seriously should’ve won this game because the Cowboys stunk it up.

Cincinnati 28, Kansas City: Had Cincy winning. This game was purely awful. This game was the NFL team in the Cincinnati Bengals and the Division 1 FBS Kansas City Chiefs. Purely awful.

New York Jets 27, St. Louis 13: Had New York winning. Here’s a theory I would like to propose to you: if you put the Jets and a great team on the same field, the Jets lose. Now if you put this same Jets team with a bad team (like the Rams) and the Jets win big. The Jets have a bigger split personality than Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Maybe worse. I’ll leave that up to you.

Philadelphia 6, Washington 31: Had Redskins winning. I rested my case on Wednesday on who would win in a battle with Nick Foles and Robert Griffin III and I proved you right, Eagles sucked harder than The Love Guru (seriously Mike Myers, I’m sorry I still think you’re an awesome Canadian). RGIII had one of the best games you could ever ask for in a quarterback. To say that the Redskins would be at 4-6 at this point would be a great season for them.

New Orleans 38, Oakland 17: Had New Orleans winning. Saints are getting hot and to say that they will make the postseason is a bit of a stretch. What’s sad in this game was that Carson Palmer threw for more yards passing than Drew Brees and still lost.

Jacksonville 37, Houston 43: Had Houston winning. Another one of those surprise games that the team that’s supposed to win by a lot had to find a way to win… in overtime when that particular team should’ve lost. Yep that’s the Texans. Chad Henne woke up that lummox in the Jaguars offense and made the Texans say “say what?”

Indianapolis 24, New England 59: Had Colts winning. Well this game looked pretty entertaining in the first half, then Andrew Luck did too much for his team and then choked badly. I’m sorry Patriots.

San Diego 23, Denver 30: Had Denver winning. The game didn’t look that good to me but it actually was good. I hate it but I like it when I’m wrong. It actually was a good game.

Baltimore 13, Pittsburgh 10: Had Ravens winning. A defensive battle that ended up like any Ravens-Steelers game in the past. Gritty, hard-nosed defense that was a bloodbath. Ravens sneak away with a win and control their own destiny in the AFC North.

Chicago 7, San Francisco 32: Had San Francisco winning. The thoughts before I picked this game was that Jay Cutler and Alex Smith would be back and I didn’t get that wish. 49ers defense is seriously better than the Bears. Bears starting to go on their annual skid this time of the season. Of course Jay Cutler is the reason, poor soul.

Week 1: 11-5
Week 2: 7-9
Week 3: 7-9
Week 4: 11-3-1
Week 5: 8-6
Week 6: 4-10
Week 7: 11-2
Week 8: 11-3
Week 9: 10-4
Week 10: 9-4-1
Week 11: 12-2

Overall 101-57-2

NFL Week 6 recap

Well I hope you guys had a great weekend. I certainly did. Green Bay Packers won. Notre Dame Fighting Irish won. Yankees down 0-2 in the ALCS against the Tigers. What would’ve made this weekend better? Well let’s just say that my picks for week 6 of the NFL season turned into pretty much crap. 4-10. Yep that’s right. I only picked the Packers, Ravens, Buccaneers, and Falcons correctly this week. Here’s the results:

Pittsburgh 23, Tennessee 26: Had Pittsburgh winning. The Steelers suffer another heartbreaking loss going into the final few seconds in the game. Surprising game to see the Steelers lose. 

Oakland 20, Atlanta 23: Had Atlanta winning. The biggest story in this game was Matty Ice getting the cold shoulder for 3 interceptions. Atlanta escapes away from a win, but it was also an ugly win. 

Dallas 29, Baltimore 31: Had the Ravens winning. The Ravens lost quite a few key guys on defense. Especially their fearless leader Ray Lewis for the season. Dallas lost due to a missed field goal which would’ve gave the Cowboys the win. Good game none the less. 

Cincinnati 24, Cleveland 34: Had the Bengals winning. The Browns shocked the world! They got a win! *slap* That’s for me doubting you for this season so far. I didn’t hurt myself too bad. Trust me. 

St. Louis 14, Miami 17: Had St. Louis winning. The Dolphins looked great, especially Ryan Tannehill, obviously his hot wife had to do with the win somehow. Lucky guy.

Indianapolis 9, New York Jets 35: Had the Colts winning. Obviously this pick was a stupid pick. The Jets offense had this game in cruise control. Why did I pick the Colts, I don’t know. 

Detroit 26, Philadelphia 23: Had Philly winning. The game had “Toilet Bowl” written all over it. The Eagles didn’t deserve to win, but neither did the Lions. But Lions get a win. 

Kansas City 10, Tampa Bay 38: Had Buccos winning. The one game that truly was a great pick was actually a great game. Josh Freeman had a great game. All around great game for the Buccaneers. 

Buffalo 19, Arizona 16 (OT): Had the Cardinals winning. The best game in the weekend was a close one. If you could learn anything from it, John Skelton looked bad in relieving for a Kevin Kolb who got a ribcage injury in the game. Heartbreaker loss anyway. 

New England 23, Seattle 24: Had the Pats winning. The story in this game is that the 12th man rose up to the occasion to shut up Tom Brady and the Patriots. Russel Wilson has beaten Tom Brady, Tony Romo, and Aaron Rodgers, not a bad resume ehh? 

New York Giants 26, San Francisco 3: Had San Francisco. Another head scratcher for me to pick. Alex Smith looked awful. 49ers looked awful. 

Minnesota 26, Washington 38: Had the Vikings to win. The Vikings looked crap when it came to stopping RGIII. 6th best rushing defense and Robert Griffin III had 138 yards rushing. Bad, bad, bad. 

Green Bay 42, Houston 24: Had Green Bay winning. The Aaron Rodgers critics train finally halted to a dead stop as the MVP threw for not 1, no way 2, definitely not 3, not 4, certainly not 5 but 6 touchdowns. “Shh” 

Denver 35, Chargers 24: Had the Chargers winning. BIGGEST CHOKE JOB EVER! The Chargers did a Tony Romo, they did a New York Yankees in 2004 ALCS, they did so many things to let the Broncos hang 35 unanswered points on the Chargers. Unbelievable. 

Week 1: 11-5
Week 2: 7-9
Week 3: 7-9
Week 4: 11-3-1
Week 5: 8-6
Week 6: 4-10

Overall: 48-42-1
