A little late but as promised, before Sunday action kicks off, here are Jason and my picks for NFL Week 14. We're butting heads on six games, not counting my win Thursday taking the Bears over the sorry-ass Cowboys:

NFL 2019 Week #14: The Mahomes Strikes Back?

2019 Week #13

Jason snatched a game from me on Thanksgiving as he continues to inch up on me for the season.  He's now sitting four games in back counting the Saints win over the Falcons.  I had ten games on him after Week 10, so it's falling apart for me right now.  We've got five (or four) more games to decide for NFL Week 13, so theoretically he can close the gap all the way.  But that would be very greedy of him and not in the holiday spirit.  In our first contingency pick of the season, Jay will keep Arizona if Kyler Murray gets the start with his bad hammy, but if he doesn't, Jay will join me in picking the Rams.  Here are our picks for Week 13:

Fav	Spread	Dog	Final		Dre	Jay
	Thanksgiving
Chi (5-6)	5	DET (3-7-1)	Chi 24-20		Chi	Chi
DAL (6-5)	6½	Buf (8-3)	Buf 26-15		Buf	Buf
	Thanksgiving Nite
NO (9-2)	6½	ATL (3-8)	NO 26-18		Atl	NO
	Sunday
GB (8-3)	6½	NYG (2-9)			GB	GB
Cle (5-6)	2	PIT (6-5)			Cle	Cle
TB (4-7)	3	JACK (4-7)			TB	Jack
Phi (5-6)	10	MIA (2-9)			Phi	Mia
NYJ (4-7)	3	CIN (0-11)			Cin	NY

2019 Triple Gobble

We had an old-school Wednesday podcast picking the Thanksgiving games after recapping the previous weekend of football.  And we're both tired after a long day, so without further adieu, here are the Turkey Day picks, where Jason and I will be intently watching only the nightcap because we agree on the day games:

Fav	Spread	Dog	Final		Dre	Jay
	Thanksgiving
Chi (5-6)	5	DET (3-7-1)			Chi	Chi

Week 12 Recap + NFL 2019 Triple Gobble

2019 Week #12

Sometimes I make a bunch of wild picks thinking I've got a special insight that allows me to see upsets that no one else sees.  Then Jason picks some of those same upsets.  This was one of those weeks.  As you will hear on our show, we both had some off-the-wall upset picks in common, spoiling the other's attempt at shocking the world.  But that's what happens when you pick all the games.  Here are our NFL Week 12 picks ATS, where we wound up differing on a mere six games:

Fav	Spread	Dog	Final		Dre	Jay

NFL 2019 Week #12: For The Insufferable Fan Base Championship

2019 Week #11

This was one of those weeks picking games where Jason and I start off disagreeing on the first two and figure we're gonna do battle for the whole schedule, and wind up against each other on only three games total.  So Jay won't be cutting much into my ten-game lead, if at all.  We definitely cut up in the aftershow reminiscing about our Chicago days, so if you're into that, it's in the podcast.  And if you're into "serious" sports talk, we cover our thoughts on Myles Garrett and Colin Kaepernick while making our picks.  A little bit for everyone tonight.  Here are our selections ATS for NFL Week 11:

2019 Week #9

We were proud to be visited by another intelligent caller on our podcast, Naj in Atlanta, who trusts us enough to give us a listen before he makes his NFL plays.  That's at least one guy who thinks that highly of us.  It's an honor to know that our work and dedication is being acknowledged, and hey, you start there and who knows where you end up.  Jason and I played a little Real or Fake in the aftershow if you want our thoughts on the contenders to this point of the season.  Here are our picks for Week 9, where we're again opposite each other on five games, not counting Thursday:
