2017 Week #12

We hope everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving, and if you bet with Jason, you did because you made money.  I am licking my wounds after my 0-3 Triple Gobble.  But we're going head-to-head on five games for the rest of Week 12 in the NFL, so I can still salvage the week if I get red hot tomorrow.  Here are our picks for the remainder of Week 12:

2017 Week #11

Victory Auto Wreckers, Eagle Man, and Samurai Sunday were the order of the day as Jason and I went back in time in our aftershow tonight.  If you're a child of Chicago and want to reminisce on these and some other awful ad campaigns, you should listen to our podcast.  And we give you a couple of other bad ads to go find on YouTube and laugh at.  As far as the football, we differ on five games on what looks like it's going to be an entertaining Sunday of football.  Maybe some clarity on this soupy league will reveal itself as we get ready for the Triple Gobble coming up on Thanksgiving.  Here are our picks for NFL Week 11:

2017 Week #10

Jason and I differ on six games this week as the soupy mix of mediocre teams yielded a Sunday in the NFL in which only one matchup featured two winning teams.  And no one thought the Saints or Bills would be this good at this stage.  But we're probably more interested in the Chargers-Jags game because Jay chose to lock in Jacksonville while I am going with Phil Rivers and the former San Diego Superchargers on a hunch that he'll pull one of those "I'm not finished yet" performances.  No matter what though, the soup promises to deliver some results tomorrow that will shock the system, because 2017, man.  Here are our picks for Week 10:

2017 Week #9

This is one of the more fascinating weeks in recent memory because of what Jason calls a "soft reboot."  Many teams are going through new QB situations this week, so the Broncos, Texans and Cardinals get their first glimpse at life with a new signal caller for better or for worse.  Throw the Panthers in there going with less weapons at WR on purpose, and the Eagles adding a RB to the mix, and you see plenty of change at the halfway mark of the season, making things even more goofy for those of us trying to make picks and make sense of it all.  I didn't think it possible for 2017 to get stranger in the NFL, but here we are.  And here are our picks for Week 9, where Jay and I disagree on five games, including one of our locks:
