Giants owners John Mara and Steve Tisch didn’t expect the backlash that would come from former head coach Ben McAdoo’s decision to bench star quarterback Eli Manning for the reminder of the season. When it became obvious that Giants fans and current and former players were not happy with Manning’s benching, the Giants owners decided to cut bait and fire McAdoo and Reese. The decision to fire McAdoo and Reese…

Some thoughts on the week that was in the NFL. 1.Rob Gronkowski‘s belly flop on Tre’Davious White warranted a fine but not a suspension. That was an over the top reaction by the NFL. They listened to the national talking heads, especially the loud mouths at NBC. 2. John Mara and Steve Tisch caved to public pressure and that is why they fired Jerry Reese and Ben McAdoo. 3. The…

Matt Stafford and the Lions face a must win against the Vikings today.  Thanksgiving day football is a tradition unlike any other in sports. Nothing beats family, food and football. Here are my Thanksgiving day picks. 11/23 12:30 ET Minnesota -3 At Detroit 44.5: This is a big game for both teams. Detroit traditionally plays well at home on Thanksgiving and this year should be no different. The Lions don’t…

Some thoughts on the week that was in the NFL. 1. Firing coordinators in-season is a way of life in the NFL. I feel bad for Mike McCoy of the Broncos and Ken Norton Jr. of the Raiders but the reality is, there were experienced alternatives already on staff. 2. The Chiefs loss to the Giants just reinforces the notion that I am a fool. I was foolish enough to think…

Andy Reid and the Chiefs have an opportunity to get back on track today.  Week 10 was meh for me but I like some of the match ups this week and I’m feeling lucky. I have a good handle on some of these games and I am ready to advise you on what teams to pick. Here goes!  11/19 1:00 ET Detroit -3 At Chicago 41: The Bears can’t score…

Here are some thoughts on what was an interesting week 10 in the NFL. 1.I knew the Bills were frauds. It was only a matter of time before they were exposed. 2. Looks like the clock has struck midnight for Josh McCown. You can only play over your head for so long. 3. Silly me. I thought the Browns might pick up their first win of the season when they…

Snow is being forecasted in Chicago today for the Packers, Bears game.  It is Week 10 of the 2017 season and we are starting to get into playoff scenarios now with seven weeks left in the regular season.  Here are my picks for Week 10. 1:00 ET Minnesota -1.5 At Washington 41: The Vikings are coming off a bye. The Redskins beat the Seahawks in Seattle thanks to a stellar…

Here we are for our Rookie Rundown from Week 9, where I pick the 2 best rookies of the week and the 2 rookies who didn’t do so hot. Again, I don’t look at the result of the game unless I am using it as a tiebreaker. Good Alvin Kamara RB New Orleans Saints- Kamara could be looked at as a reason why Peterson got shipped away a few weeks…

Here are some thoughts on Week 9 in the NFL.  1. The Eagles are the best team in the NFL never mind the NFC.  2. The Giants 51-17 loss to the Rams may be the reason Ben McAdoo gets canned at the end of the season. The team quit on him on Sunday. 3. Tom Savage is beyond awful. The Texans have no chance at staying in the playoff race with…

It’s Week 9 and I need to be better than I was last week. Quite frankly, I wasn’t good. I sucked.  Here are my picks for week 9.  1:00 ET At Philadelphia -7 Denver 41: The Eagles are the best team in the NFC and today, they will prove they are one of the best team in the NFL. They will cover with ease. 1:00ET LA Rams -5.5 At NY…
