THEY"RE BACK!

Food

This is not a paid endorsement. Kettle foods isn't paying me. I think they may be trying to kill me.

 

Three facts you may already know about me, and which are almost certainly documented on this website (though I'm not able to find such documentation, right now):

  1. Once I open a package, if I'm eating from the package, it is a single serving.

  2. My favorite “junk food” is chips

  3. I believe the greatest chip, of all time, was Kettle Chips Red Chili flavor

NFL Predictions 2012: Super Bowl XLVII

Sport

 

The playoffs have not been an overall success for me this season. I was 1-1 straight (7-3 overall) and can live with that. I went 2-0 against the spread (5-5 overall) and 0-2 on the over/under (4-6) which means the best I can hope for is breaking even in the playoffs versus Vegas. Now I have to deal with a very difficult Super Bowl to predict.

NFL Predictions 2012: Championship Games

Sport

It was another uneven playoff week for me, a losing one in fact. I was 2-2 straight up (6-2 in playoffs) but 1-3 against the spread (3-5) and 2-2 on the over/under (4-4). Against Vegas my winning week went out the window when Atlanta decided not to sweat out a win over Seattle and instead let them back in the game, failing to cover and allowing the game to go over. The result was a 3-5 week for me instead of 5-3 because of that comeback and as difficult as these playoffs have been to predict that is really frustrating. Worse yet, now there is really no room for error.

NFL Predictions 2012: Divisional Round

Sport

 

I never expected to repeat last season’s success (19-3 against Vegas) so I’ll have to settle for being half-perfect. I nailed the NFC and fell apart in the AFC where “betting” is concerned. I went 4-0 straight up, 2-2 against the spread and 2-2 for the over/under. Let’s see if I can rebound this week.

NFL Predictions 2012: Wild Card

Sport

 

Overall the regular season was a success. My final week I went 11-5 straight up (173-82-1 overall) and in my recollection that is the second most wins I have ever recorded. I was 10-6 against the spread (137-110-9 overall) which might be the best I have ever done in any season. Unfortunately I was just 5-11 on the over under (119-133-3 overall) and if I could understand my misery in that category I would have corrected it long ago.

NFL Predictions 2012: Week 17

Sport

 

As expected, I was uneven last week. I went 11-5 straight up (162-77-1 overall) but just 5-9-2 against the spread (127-104-9 overall) and 8-8 on the over/under (114-122-3 overall). One more full week and then it’s playoff time.

NFL Predictions 2012: Week 16

Sport

Late season games are always the toughest to predict, sometimes even harder than early in the year. I took it on the chin going just 9-7 straight up (151-72-1 overall) and likely ending my dreams of setting a new single season high for total wins. My current best is 175 and while I would like to think I can go 25-7 to finish it’s not very realistic. I was 6-10 against the spread (122-95-7 overall) giving up some ground there, but I went 9-7 on the over/under (106-1114-3 overall) and still have hopes for a positive regular season final mark.

NFL Predictions 2012: Week 15

Sport

Maybe I shouldn’t have complained about week 13 not being lucky. The numbers were not with me this past week. I did manage to go 11-5 straight up (142-65-1 overall) and that was good. Even with some tough breaks against me I was also 10-4-2 against the spread as well (116-85-7 overall) and that was great. Somehow I suffered through a ridiculous 2-14 mark on the over/under (97-107-3 overall) and the category I normally excel at is now looking like a lost year unless I pull out some magic over the final few weeks.

Sport

 

It wasn’t exactly lucky 13 for me last week, but it was good enough. I went 11-5 straight up (131-60-1 overall) and I can’t whine about that. I continued my strong season against the spread at 9-5-2 (106-81-5 overall) where I am +25 against Vegas. Unfortunately I remain in a funk picking the over/under after going 8-8 (95-93-3 overall).

NFL Predictions 2012: Week 13

Sport

 

As the season ostensibly enters the fourth quarter I’m trying to navigate what can be some choppy waters with some teams mailing it in and others making a surprise run. Last week I went 11-5 straight up (120-55-1 overall) and considering I started 7-4 I will gladly take that. I was a sparkling 13-3 against the spread (97-76-3 overall) and finally hit plus territory for the season by going 10-6 on the over/under (87-85-3 overall).
