[&:] 2-2 this week. Good by comparison to last week. Green Bay and New England. Both the easy picks in my opinion. Although at the end you could tell Green Bay's defense was gassed. Great game. My wife very happy. I love Jerry Jones losing more than anything, even Packers losing. I actually have no problem with the Packers going to the Super Bowl this year and getting their butts handed to them by New England. Still a big Tom Brady fan (by osmosis, had a friend in Browerville who was first cousins with him, so I was getting my ear talked off about him from the time he was drafted. All the Michigan coach was a moron, Tommy will be great you just wait.) So that has always been kind of cool. Pretty funny when a friend talks about a relative like that and you just yeah ok then all of the sudden, Holy Crap he wasn't kidding this guy might be the best to ever play the game. Matt Ryan looked terrific. I do not see how the Packers can cover Julio Jones. By the way (Not to Spielman) that is what a first round wide receiver looks like). If Jones is healthy Packers will need 45 points to win. I see the Falcons Defense giving that up, I think Quinn is a year away from complete dominance in Atlanta. They should be the favorites in NFC next year. I give Pittsburgh no chance against New England. NE will put up 30 easily on them.

Patriots over Steelers Falcons over Packers SUPER BOWL Falcons over Patriots

Patriots over Steelers Packers over Falcons (If Jones is hobbled) Patriots over Packers.

I lose $20 if it's NE & GB. I bet $10 a long time ago GB wouldn't win the division. They did the guy offered me double or nothing saying that GB an NE would be in the SB - I took it.

SUPER BOWL Patriots 34, Falcons 24

GB over Atlanta, revenge match for GB just like with Dallas. Rodgers is playing at too high a level, and his WRs are rising to the challenge for him. I don't think Ryan will be able to keep pace. NE over Pitts GB over NE in the SB - it took a bone headed play or else NE would not have won a SB since Spygate. Refs will like the Packers early, Rodgers will make more plays in the 2nd half.

You don't think the team that just scored the 7th most points in NFL history will be able to keep up with your Packers?

Pittsburgh vs Dirty Birds in SB. Atlanta wins the SB.

Jeff Jesser -> RE: Predictions for Next Week (and maybe beyond) (1/18/2017 6:08:49 PM)
Puke/Falcons all depends on #11's health. It's really that simple, IMO.

You don't think the team that just scored the 7th most points in NFL history will be able to keep up with your Packers? Did it matter when in '98 when the Vikes scored a lot in the regular season ? I will take Erin Rodgers and the way he is playing now, versus Matt Ryan in a playoff game. The Cowboys saw a different Packers team than the one they beat in the regular season, it will likely be the same for the Falcons. Sure the Packers 2ndary is poor, but in a shoot out, you might only need ONE 4th quarter INT off a Clay Matthews or Julius Peppers deflection, and the Packers win.

I never understood giving scores when making picks; is anyone ever right?

Ricky, some people HAVE gotten exact scores right, I have gotten about 3 or 4 right in the regular season. I predicted the exact score if Vikings/Falcons '98 playoff game, and OT, with Anderson missing the game winner at the end of regulation. Except, I had the Vikings then WINNING in OT. Many posters have been within a couple of points on predicted scores, pretty cool when that happens.

You're saying you know how many touchdowns, FGs, etc are going to take place in a game. By most accounts, never happens if not by blind luck. A FG better, a couple touchdowns better, yeah, but 42-38 not so much. Keep it coming, though. When it happens it's fun to look at. Which three games did you get right?

I had to pull for the Packers last week because I hate the Cowboys that much. Meh on the Falcons, but totally in love with them this week. Patriots are one of the best organizations in the world (Spurs and Barca and???),but they are the biggest asshole organization bar none. Go Tomlin, go Steelers)

Well done JC Atl offense is red hot but betting against bellichek in this spot seems foolish. I think Pats win and cover. Belichek will have a better game plan and will take Julio out of it.

Tim Cady -> RE: Predictions for Next Week (and maybe beyond) (1/23/2017 10:38:35 AM)
What Jandro said.[;)]

marty -> RE: Predictions for Next Week (and maybe beyond) (1/23/2017 12:43:25 PM)
Very nice job JC ! And I think you will be right on the SB as well. The Pats are a 3 yard Lynch run from being 0-3 in SBs since Spygate. Belichek probably doesn't have a game plan to stop a WR from going up 8 feet in the air (Tyree Hill ?), too many weapons, and they should be healthy. I was very wrong on Packers/Falcons, thankfully had no money on the game. GB didn't have the defense, which is what I was questioning many weeks ago, but I errantly thought Rodgers would continue to play at the level he was playing the previous 9 weeks. I was pretty close on Pittsburgh/NE, only missing NEs score by one point, and I had the Steelers getting 6 more points.
