One good week (10-4) led to another good week (9-5) in week 12 of the pick’em pool. Despite two strong showings in back to back weeks, we remain dead last in the pool of seven teams. Once Upon a Time in NE Picks Thursday Night Football: Indianapolis @ Houston (+1) Houston had suffered recently, but…

After only collecting three wins in Week 10, we rebounded grandly by going 10-4 in Week 11. Sadly, we remain dead last in the overall standings. Once Upon a Time in NE Picks Thursday Night Football: Pittsburgh @ Cleveland (-1) I didn’t expect the mess that is the Cleveland Browns to beat the Steelers. Then again,…

Week 10 of the NFL Pick’em season was a disaster. It reminded us that no matter how hard we try, we are not going to be able to salvage the season. For here on out, we will only recap the picks. We won’t provide updates on the standings or how bad we finished in the…

One week after stunning the pick’em pool with a perfect week, we sunk back to reality with a 9-5 week. Although we ran our correct picks streak to 18 straight games, it really didn’t matter in the end. Once Upon a Time in NE Picks Thursday Night Football: San Francisco @ Arizona (+1) The 49ers…

The perfect week. The only team so far this season. The only one who achieved the feat in back to back seasons. Once Upon a Time in NE Picks Thursday Night Football: Washington @ Minnesota (+1) Thursday games are as dull as paint drying. I took the home team in this one. Seattle @ Atlanta…

We came within two losses of the first perfect week of the season. Thanks to last week’s debacle, we rebounded in style with a 12-2 showing. The 12 wins are a season-high and smashed our season average of eight correct picks. It is still going to take a miracle to pull off a first-place finish,…

Week six in the NFL Pick’em Pool was a disaster. You will probably wonder why I would open this post with such a bold statement. You will scroll down and wonder how I could have picked so horrible. Weren’t there a handful of guarantee wins this past week? Sure a few upsets here and there,…

It has become clear that with each passing week, we know nothing about the National Football League. Our seven victorious picks in Week 5 were good enough for the last place in the league. Some of the games we picked should have been won, but surprises can happen on any given Sunday.  Once Upon a…

For the second straight week, we predicted most of the early games right, only to falter in the afternoon. Not only that, we went 0-2 on the nightcap games. Hopefully, this isn’t a growing trend for us. It could cost us dearly down the stretch.  Once Upon a Time in NE Picks Thursday Night Football:…

We got off to a hot start on this week’s Pick’Em sheet by predicting eight of the first nine games correctly. The afternoon games were not so kind to us as a 1-4 record brought us back to reality. A win and loss capped the last two games of the week, which brought our record…
