Week 9 NFL Picks By Diddy

I wish I could win at least one pot at work this year but I am not having much luck. Hopefully I can turn it around this week. Here we go:

Buffalo- If they can't beat the Jets playing at home then I will stop picking them.

Chicago-Coming off the bye week, at home...gotta go with Da Bears.

Jacksonville-I think Cinci has to get a win at some point, but I don't think it will be this week.

Cleveland-I had such a hard time picking this game but I feel like Cleveland plays really well at home so I had to go with them.

Tampa-The Chiefs are terrible. End of story.

Minnesota-I know the Texans are hot right now but I think Minnesota needs a win in a bad way. They bring it this week.

Arizona-Kurt Warner comes back to St Louis. If Steven Jackson is out this will be a good pick, if not I might regret this one.

Tennessee-I am on the band wagon now.

Denver-Tough at home after a bye week.

NY Giants- Cause I hate the Cowgirls.

Atlanta-Matt Ryan is for real.

Philly-There is something about this game that makes me nervous. I have no idea why.

Indy- Gotta take the Colts at home after the disappointment on Monday night. Hopefully Peyton will be fired up.

Monday Night- My team has not had much luck of late against NFC teams. But I feel they are going to turn it around this week. If Detroit can almost beat the Skins then I know we can beat them for real!

Enjoy the games everyone!

Week 8 NFL Picks By Diddy

Well let's hope I have better luck this week I lost to Bob by points. I had 46 points for Monday night and he hit it right on the head with 48 and robbed me of my money! I found out on Sunday Bob was having his 15th stint placed in his heart so I am going to chill and let the man put it towards his medical bills. I had no idea you could have 15 stints put in! Get well Bob!

Here's to better luck this week!

Baltimore-seems like too easy of a pick so I am sure they will either lose or barely win.

Carolina- I had a tough time picking this one but I think Carolina will do ok at home.

Tampa Bay- One of my co-workers, Kim, will be at this game. She thinks she gets to sit with Romo on the bench. Just for that, I am picking Tampa to win and ruin her Romo romance.

Washington-All the teams that have not yet won a game make me nervous but I have to go with Washington in this one.

Miami- Ok, I really like the Bills in this one but Jimmy is a lifetime Bills fan and says they have always sucked playing in Miami.

New England-Gotta go with them at home. They looked really tough on Monday night.

San Diego-New Orleans without Reggie Bush is like a Big Mac without the special sauce. Gotta take San Diego.

NY Jets- If they cannot beat the Chiefs at home, Brett may need to retire for real.

Philly-Another tough game but I think McNabb will pull it off and it will help with Westbrook back.

Houston-They are on a roll and Cincinnati isn't.

Jacksonville-I suppose it depends on which Cleveland team shows up but I will take the Jags at home.

Pittsburgh-Oh yea! I am so pumped for this game. I have already got out my full size helmet (yes I sometimes wear it while I watch), my Terrible Towels and my special Steelers drinking glass (they have never lost a big game since I started drinking out of it on big game days). Not to mention I have a ton of money riding on it with some side bets I took. Bring it on ELI! We are ready for ya!

San Fran-New coach, new day. San Fran wins big.

Tennessee-Gotta love that running game and defense. Tennessee wins by a field goal.

Week 7 NFL Picks by Diddy

I have to go out of town this weekend so I thought I had better get my week 7 picks up early. Not that you should bet any large amounts of money based on my picks...mainly just because I have been doing it and it is now a habit. So here we go....

Buffalo-I like them at home and coming off the bye week.

Carolina-I think this will be close so I am going with the home team.

Chicago-This one scares me but I hope the Bears get it together and pull this one off.

Pittsburgh-Should be a win coming off the bye week.

Tennessee-Kansas City is terrible.

Miami-They have more offense than the Ravens.

NY Giants- Eli rebounds after the terrible Monday night game.

Dallas-Even with Brad as the QB they should win, unless Romo does actually blame with this bummed up finger.

Houston-Should be an easy win.

Green Bay-Another close one but I like Green Bay at Lambeau.

NY Jets-GO BRETT GO!!!

Washington-They will be back after the terrible performance last week.

Tampa-Do the Bucs look awesome or what???

New England-Another close one but I think they can win by a field goal.

Diddy's Pick Week 6

My picks are so bad, I am sure a caveman could do better! But I am still in the running for the year end pool at work. I am tied with Kim, a payroll clerk who knows more about high school football than the pros so I need to step up my game. Let's hope it starts this week. Here are my picks:

Chicago-This one makes me nervous, because Atlanta is tough at home.

Houston- I flip-flopped on this one for 2 days. I think the Texans have been so close so many times, this time they actually full off a win.

Indianapolis- Another tough one to pick. I am not sure what is wrong with Peyton but I am hoping he figures it out today and beats a tough Baltimore D.

Minnesota- At home, with a great D and Detroit has to go without Kitna.

New Orleans- They should not have lost that Monday night game, they get back on track this week.

New York Jets- Bengals without Palmer today, easy pick.

Carolina- I like them! They are a pretty good team. I think they squeek this one out by a field goal.

Washington- The Redskins roll on.

Denver-This will be a tough game, but I like Denver at home.

Dallas-I hope they lose but I think they have a slightly better D and pull this off by a TD.

Philly-Even without Westbrook I think they can win this one easily.

Green Bay-No Hasselbeck today, Green Bay has the better D. Gotta take Green Bay on the road.

San Diego-I orginally picked New England, then I remembered that the past 2 years the Patriots have kicked the Chargers out of the playoffs. Surely they want to beat this team.

NY Giants- Too easy. Cleveland sucks.

Happy Sunday everyone!

Week 5 Picks By C-Diddy

My co-workers nicknamed me C-Diddy many years ago. Sometimes they just call me Diddy. I am not sure why they call me this but I kind of like it. I supposed it is better than being called Puffy.

I am also known as the office bookie. I put together an office pool and I am now officially the leader for the end of the year pool. For those worried that I might cheat, my picks are photocopied on Fridays and left with this chick that has no idea what a football is. So my lead is legit.

Here are my free Week 5 picks:

Tennessee-it will be a tough game but I think with Baltimore coming off the Monday night game, Tennessee has a slight edge.

Carolina- I still don't believe in the Chiefs.

Chicago- Matt Forte will run all over Detroit today.

Green Bay- Aaron Rogers or not, they should win this one.

Houston- Oh yes, my upset special. I think the Texans have figured out how to use Steve Slaton properly.

San Diego- I think they will get on a roll soon and run all the way to the playoffs.

NY Giants- I think this will be close but I like the Giants at home.

Philly- Another close one but I think Philly should squeak this one out.

Tampa- I like their defense so much more than Denver's. I think Griese will be motivated going back to Denver to play.

Arizona- It seems everyone is picking Buffalo in this one but I think the Cardinals will steal this one at home by a field goal.

Dallas- Ok, I hate the Cowboys and nothing would make me happier than to see the lowly Bengals whip their asses, but I don't think it is going to happen.

New England- I hate them, but have to pick them in this one.

Pittsburgh-I believe I was the only one to pick the Steelers this week and that is fine. I am sure I am the only one in the office that remembers it was the bastard Jaguars that kicked us out of the playoffs last year. Revenge will be sweet.

New Orleans- This was a tough one to pick. I gotta go with the home team.

That is it. I made some risky picks and I hope and pray they pay off to make my lead even larger for the year end pool.

Week 4 NFL Picks

Time for my office pool picks for Week 4. Good news is I am in a 3way tie for the overall best record for the season thus far. Considering my goal is to win that big pot, I am doing ok.

So here we go:

Carolina over Atlanta- I think it will be a close game but Carolina will be too tough at home.

Cinci over Cleveland- this one was a toss up so I went with the home team.

Jacksonville over Houston- Jags are just so much better.

Denver over the KC Losers- No brainer.

New Orleans over San Fran- another toss up so I went with the home team. Plus Reggie Bush is kind of hot.

NY Jets over Arizona- I am hoping Brett can bring them from behind for a late TD to win it.

Tampa Bay over Green Bay- I think they have the better defense and they are at home.

Tennessee over Minnesota- another toss up so I took the home team.

San Diego over Oakland- San Diego will win for awhile now, I think they have their crap together now.

Buffalo over St Louis- starting Mr. Concussion in St Lou??? No brainer, oh that was not nice now that I think of it.

Dallas over Washington- I want to pick against the Cowboys, I really do! Someone beat them up ok???

Philly over da Bears- Even without Westbrook I think they can outscore the Bears.

Pittsburgh over Baltimore- I know Mendenhall gave Baltimore a little motivation this week but I don't care. The Baltimore offense is pathetic. First team to score a TD wins this one. Plus I am going to marry Roethlisberger, I cannot pick against my future hubby!

NFL Office Pool Week 3

It is almost time for Week 3 to get under way so I thought I would share my picks this week from my office pool. I am referred to as "the bookie" of our office. I run the pool for NFL, put together a March Madness bracket and do the squares for the World Series. It makes work a little more fun. So I thought for the rest of the football season I would share my picks. We just pick them straight up, no points involved.

Here we go:
Atlanta- DUH. The Chiefs could not beat a high school team.
Buffalo- Love the Bills D so much I picked them up on all my fantasy rosters.
Chicago- Another great D.
Minnesota- this one bothers me, especially if Peterson doesn't play. But they need a win to get on track.
New England- Dolphins are only slightly better than the Chiefs.
New York Giants- should be an easy win against the Bengals.
Tennessee-Strong running game and D, I think this one will be very close though.
Washington- Another game I think could go either way, I will take the home team.
Denver- I love me some Jay Cutler!
Detroit- Yes, I know...San Fran should beat them and I am the only person in our pool to pick them, but I have a feeling about them this week.
Seattle-With the 12th man behind them I think they will squeak out a win.
Baltimore- Plenty of time to prepare for this one and at home with a great D.
Indianapolis- This will be a close one but I like the Indy offense better right now.
Pittsburgh- Did you really expect me to pick against my team????
Dallas- I think I am wishing I could change this one. This game is a toss up, it may be like the Monday night game, last team with the ball wins.
San Diego-They really need a win and if they cannot get it from the Jets, then they should just shut it down for the season.

So that is it, I will come back tomorrow either rich or broke.
