There are many ways to predict the outcome of an NFL game. Some sites bring out the animal mascots or flip coins. Some dig through the numbers. Some claim to be gut-instinct experts. So when we looked at how we might predict the winner of this year’s Super Bowl, we thought why not look to…… Continue reading Astrological Super Bowl Predictions: Who’s Dancing in the Bayou?
Category: Best Bets
Currently in hiatus, Chadam and Nick’s “Best Bets” feature predicted who would win on Sunday, with or against the spread.
A Fool and His Money – Week 4
Bengals (-5.5) over BROWNS The Bengals beat the Packers and Steelers in back-to-back games. The Browns finally benched Ms. Quinn, but Derek Anderson somehow managed to play worse in his second half debut. I have to imagine it’s tough for anybody to like the Browns in this one. Lions (+10) over BEARS The first step…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money – Week 4
A Fool and His Money – Week 2
Editor’s Note: Yes, we’re a little late with this one, and yes, it’s probably better if you don’t listen to Nick’s picks anyway. We’ll post them now just so we can still hold him accountable for his mistakes. Texans (+7) over TITANS I want to choose the Titans in this one, but for some reason…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money – Week 2
Guest Post: 2009 NFL preview from a fantasy outsider
This guest post comes to Fantasy Football Fools from Eric Amzallag of sports pick site UnlockedSports.com. Rather than stay in our fantasy bubble this season, I thought taking a look at the playoff picks from a relative fantasy outsider would be a nice jump start to the conversation — since, inevitably, my Super Bowl and…… Continue reading Guest Post: 2009 NFL preview from a fantasy outsider
A Fool and His Money – Week 1
Week 1 is my favorite week to make bets. You get to trust your gut more than any other week of the season, and you feel extremely smug when your predictions come true. But the first games are also full of questions. Which teams developed chemistry over the offseason? Who will exceed expectations, and who…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money – Week 1
Take a shot at $1000 in SpendOnLife’s Survivor Pool Challenge
Unless you’re Bill Gates, $1,000 probably sounds pretty good to you, and the cash could be yours this season if you can pick a winner every week. Following up our own 9/9/09 contest which wraps up tonight — get your comment in now! — Spend On Life sent me some information about the football survivor…… Continue reading Take a shot at $1000 in SpendOnLife’s Survivor Pool Challenge
A Fool and His Money in Week 17
It’s craziness in Week 17. Will the playoff teams even bother to start their studs? Will the backups be decent when they get in there? We can attempt to negotiate through the darkness of the last week of the season, but in reality, we’ll just be happy to be at .500 for the season with…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 17
A Fool and His Money in Week 16
Nick’s picking solo once again this week as everything starts to get sketchy here at the end of the season. Baltimore Ravens at Dallas Cowboys Ravens (+4) over COWBOYS This game could decide who gets into the playoffs. It’s tough to pick against Dallas at home, but I do think the Ravens are the better…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 16
A Fool and His Money in Week 15
Jacob here. I guess it’s time for us to stop covering up the deep, dark secret we’ve been hiding for the last several weeks. You see, we killed Chadam. It’s not that he was doing a terrible job picking spreads each week … well, actually, he really was falling off there near the end, but,…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 15
A Fool and His Money in Week 14
Note from Jacob: Somehow, after a rager of a game of Monopoly — yes, we are five years old — and a weekend of fantasy football talk, we got Chadam to disagree with Nick on some of this week’s picks. Oakland Raiders at San Diego Chargers Fools Take: CHARGERS (-9) over Raiders Nick says: I…… Continue reading A Fool and His Money in Week 14
