    ’19 NFL Pick’Em Week 8

    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…

      Defence wins championships…and fantasy football matchups.  The New England Patriots had shady defence throughout most of the 2018 season. Despite their shortcomings, the team still won one of the most boring Super Bowl games. It happened because of the defence. This season, the guys in blue are on pace to become one of the…

    ’19 NFL Pick’Em Week 7

    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,…

      Look at that…fourth place!  It wasn’t pretty. By the time Monday Night Football rolled around, it really wasn’t in question either. Yahoo Fantasy labelled it a “come from behind victory.” We were only “behind” because four of our critical starters didn’t play until the final day of the matchup. The great thing for us…

    ’19 NFL Pick’Em Week 6

    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,…

      The three-game losing streak is over! Pinstripe Bowl halted a season-high three-game losing streak with a 34 point victory over Luck’sRetirementTour. They were once 4-0, and we were once 3-0. Fantasy football can wear down, even the best teams.  Luck’sRetirementTour did not meet their projections, which wouldn’t have mattered in the end. We exceeded…

    ’19 NFL Pick’Em Week 5

    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…

      Still looking for answers after our third straight loss. Pinstripe Bowl dropped another matchup, their third loss in a row. Maybe because MLB playoffs are in full swing, our focus may be on the diamond and not on the football field.  Roster mismanagement cost us this week since our loss was less than seven…

    ’19 NFL Pick’Em Week 4

    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:…

  • ’19 Fantasy Football Week 4

      This house symbolizes our fantasy team this week. That’s me with the hose. Useless. Yahoo Fantasy Sports can be so rewarding yet so heartbreaking, all at the same time. I wasn’t heartbroken this week, but the agony that came with player’s performances could cause someone to go into cardiac arrest. If you don’t believe…
