My NFL picks for playoffs round 2
Here we are at playoffs, week 2! Last week saw some great games, particularly Seattle over Dallas and of course, my New England Patriots defeating the Jets. I like Pennington, so it’s a tiny bit of a shame to see him lose…so let’s hope he finds a home with a team that doesn’t choke against…

My picks for NFL week 13
Here we are again- it’s time for this week’s NFL Pool wrap-up and preview. Last week: 7-9 Summary: Like most NFL teams, I hover between mediocre (but losing) and average (but winning) each week. 2 weeks ago it was 9-7, last week it was 7-9, and if it weren’t for a couple strong weeks at…
