It has been so long since I have written about the Yankees. Spring training is right around the corner. I have extremely high hopes for the Bombers this year. With the addition of Giancarlo Stanton, I am optimistic the Yankees will win the division. I think they can win it all. I am still hoping for some additional pitchers somewhere along the line. The more...

The Superbowl was an exciting game. The Eagles were definitely the better team. The Patriots defense was awful. They deserve most of the blame for the loss on the New England side. Tom Brady was very good. He did struggle at the end. He is still the GOAT! Rob Gronkowski may retire as he has too many concussions. At least Julian Edelman will be back next more...

The Superbowl is Sunday and it is time to pick the big game. I had originally picked the Eagles and Patriots in the Superbowl, but changed it to Minnesota last week. Just shows you should always follow your first instinct. My first instinct tells me that Sunday is going to be a close game. Philadelphia 23, New England 28 – Yes, I believe the Patriots can win more...

And now we are down to four teams. What great games took place last weekend. Each one I enjoyed better than the previous one. Minnesota’s unbelievable last second play topped them all. I am still in disbelief. I went 3-1 and am 131-66 for the season on my picks. I never saw Jacksonville beating Pittsburgh coming. I knew the Jaguars were good and ha beaten more...

Every single playoff game last weekend was exciting. I am shocked that Kansas City allowed such a come back by the Tennessee Titans. Atlanta was my upset winning pick. Jacksonville squeaked by Buffalo and it was certainly interesting in New Orleans. I was 3-1 for the week and am 128-65 for the year. This week is very interesting. I picked 1 underdog, but was tempted more...

In my last published predictions I was 15-1 putting me at 125-64 on the season. It is time for the playoffs. Who do I think will win it all? I do not have any big upsets. I am picking Philadelphia to beat Minnesota in the NFC and New England over Pittsburgh in the AFC. Of course I predict New England to win it all. But, honestly any one of those four teams could take more...

I had the worst week ever as I was 6-10. Overall I am 110-63 for the season. As I write this I am still laughing at my Patriots loss to the Dolphins. The Patriots are still the team to beat. I really wanted 87 cent coffee. Denver 24, Indianapolis 23 – Tough call Chicago 13, Detroit 24 – Home team LA Chargers 31, Kansas City 32 – Good game Buffalo more...

I went 10-6 last week and am 104-53 for the season. Minnesota is slowly becoming a team to beat as Philadelphia lost this week. There is constant change in football. New Orleans 28, Atlanta 27 – Saints are surprising Buffalo 17, Indianapolis 20 – Bills looked pathetic Chicago 13, Cincinnati 21 – Bengals take it easily Green Bay 10, Cleveland 16 – more...
