It had been a long time since Jay and I had a late night Football Party, and by the time it wound down, we were both feeling it and ready to call it a night. It will be an interesting Sunday of football though, as we went against each other on nine of the 15 NFL games between Sunday and Monday, ten counting Thursday. Seeing that Jay took five of the six that we battled on last week, I'm sure he feels really good about this week. But this is my week to get him back, so I hope. Here are the picks for what might be a wild Week 7:
Scott Norwood
Wide Right started it all.

2024 Week #6
In this very odd year of football, we have a couple of oddities in our picks this week. First, Jay and I have a Double Lock for the second time, and the first time was trusting the Brown Fever over the Giants in Week 3, so hopefully this time it works. We also had a run of Kumbaya, agreeing on four straight, then going head-to-head on five straight, then Kumbaya on the last three games, which I can't remember us doing before. But in this NFL season, nothing make sense, which makes anything and everything make sense. Here are our picks, which looks like it will include a Chicago win over Jacksonville for Jay at the time of this writing:

2024 Week #5
Jay and I got some battles head to head in the early games today, disagreeing on five of the six noon contests. We're going to know how good or bad the week is by 3 o'clock today. We handled our business in a timely fashion on the podcast, picking our NFL games in a tidy amount of time, so the last segment is a tribute (in our own way) to two all-time sports stars from our youth who died on the same day last week, Dikembe Mutombo and Pete Rose. Very vivid legacies, but very different reasons. Here are our picks for Week 5:

2024 Week #4
Stunningly, the Blog Talk Radio website worked this morning, allowing the first full Football Party of the season with Jay and me giving out awards for Week 3 in the NFL and previewing Week 4. The preview had lots of laughs but little conflict, as we only disagreed on two games. Jay has one on me already this week thanks to a missed FG Thursday, so I will look to sweep these two and take the week. What drama. Here are our picks for Week 4:

2024 Week #3
The hellsite that is Blog Talk Radio torpedoed our attempts (multiple) to do our podcast Friday and Saturday, so I took a hunch and went live Sunday morning and it worked out. Now, it may not sound the way it's supposed to sound because my mike may not have been up at the beginning, and also, remember, the site sucks, so that may affect the quality as well, and all that is to assume the show even recorded. But if it did, there's the link under our picks, as always. Jay and I are different on five of our picks, but we're united in our Giant hate as we have a Twin Lock of the Week. Invest wisely. Here are our picks:

2024 Week #2
Poor Jay was trying to host the podcast tonight when his internet flashed off briefly, which always ends the show when the host loses his connection. So he now knows the frustration I have as host trying to find drops while hoping to stay on the air. Through texts and e-mail we have managed to piece together our picks, our Locks, and the spreads. All to chronicle the fact that we differ this week on, as Jay put it, a whopping two games. What a night. Here, from my resort in Jamaica, are our picks:
