Last week was a so-so week for me. I’d bet many of you beat me.
Before I get to my picks I would like to point out an article I read in USA Today. Talking about what a surprise Seattle QB Russell Wilson is. If I may direct you to my post of January, 13,2012. http://fromthemiddleblog.com/2012/01/13/ In this post you will notice I had Wilson as a top 3 QB, and the type of team all 3 would be ideal for. Unfortunately for one of the three was thrown into the fire pre-maturely. Read the post and see who.
In a follow up article I stated that if the COLTS chose Andrew they would have to release most of the starters and build around him. (I Believe they did this)
Here are my picks. I must say the San Francisco-Seattle match up is a poser for me. My Mind says one thing and the math says another. So I will remain true to my method and go with the numbers (reluctantly).
The Atlanta -Green Bay game, mathematically speaking came up a draw. So in case of a draw i go with the home team; that 12th man thing, and the fact that home teams seem to get a break on the calls.
IT APPEARS WE HAD A RECORD BREAKING SUNDAY. 90 TOUCHDOWNS (OR SO I AM TOLD) ; AND A RECORD SETTING 64 YARD FIELD GOAL. BY DENVER BRONCHOS MATT PRATER. WOW! What a Sunday
And of course i missed the kind of games i enjoy watching most. a good old snowy field. I could have watched the Detroit vs Philadelphia game. Had I been home. But family obligations took me away. And of course not a TV anywhere. I know many of the players enjoy these games too. They tell me it is like being a kid again, playing in the snow. Therefore we have a fun game for player and fan.
Have fun. Good Luck
I will fill in my picks Thursday. Until then feel free to:
