Regular Season Week 15

Happy Birthday to me!!!!! It’s my birthday week!!!! Can you tell I’m excited? My actual birthday is the 13th but I like to celebrate all month long.
Was it just me or did you think that Sunday’s games were a bit on the peculiar side? I did horrible on my picks for week 14 at 8-8… ouch. At this point I really don’t care how I do on my picks as long as the Giants win out this season. I think the later we go into the season the more my heart gets involved in my picks.
Interesting tidbit, week 14 was the first week since 1986 that all 4 teams in the NFC East won in the same weekend….
Lets recap week 14.

Broncos @ Raiders 26-13
I’m still hoping for a Manning Bowl … and it could happen as long as the Broncos continue to play like this.

Ravens @ Redskins 28-31 OT
I wanted the Ravens to win, I needed the Ravens to win, and so of course they lost, in overtime, to the Redskins, after RG3 was taken out of the game with a knee injury.
Thanks a lot Baltimore…. Ugh.

Cowboys @ Bengals 20-19
I wanted the Bengals to win, I needed the Bengals to win, and of course they gave it up too. Ugh. Heartbreak.

Rams @ Bills 15-12
Poor Bills fans…


Eagles @ Buccaneers 23-21
Pretty sure that the Eagles fans actually want the Eagles to lose now so they can get a decent draft pick… way to screw up again Philly.

Falcons @ Panthers 20-30
This was a fantastic game; it was even better to watch it with a one year old who yelled “FOOTBALL” with great excitement at least once every time they came back from commercial break.
Cam looked great; maybe the Panthers should play with that sort of intensity and vendetta throughout the season and not just one game… just a thought.

Chiefs @ Browns 7-30
So happy for the Browns and their fans.

Chargers @ Steelers 34-24
Big Ben was back in action but that didn’t help the Steelers. They lost to the Chargers… what?!?!?!

Titans @ Colts 23-27
The AFC South thought they’d get a break for the Colts this season… so much for a rebuilding year.

Jets @ Jaguars 17-10
Hey lookit, the Jets actually won a game.

Bears @ Vikings 14-21
Just when you think the Bears are back on track…

Dolphins @ 49ers 13-27
Poor Alex Smith… Kapernick is the real deal.

Cardinals @ Seahawks 0-58
Holy Seahawks Batman! Way to run up the score like the Patriots…. Somehow I’m ok with the Seahawks running up the score on the Cardinals… hmmmm

Saints @ NY Giants 27-52
This game was a big win, a huge win, and an even bigger win with every other team in the NFC East winning just hours before as well. We are still on top of the division with a one game lead. All we have to do is win out and we’ll be in the post season. It’s the first time in a long time we actually control our own destiny.
Anyway, back to the game recap.  The game started off really rough with an Eli interception. I was driving at the time so my dad was giving me the play by play over the phone.  I wasn’t happy at all BUT then David Wilson had a kickoff returned for a touchdown and I felt better. My dad continued to give me the play by play until I reached my destination at the Ginn’s house where I watched the rest of the game. Their Christmas tree was in the spot where the official Shenoa Football Chair usually sits but that was ok because I’m not one of those superstitious people who have to do everything a certain way to make sure the Giants win. (Sorry if I’ve offended anyone with that statement) I didn’t even wear my Eli Manning Jersey, I know I’m a rebel.
The Giants didn’t look their best but they pulled it together to beat a team that usually would have crushed Big Blue. I’m just thankful that the game didn’t come down to a Tynes field goal… Seriously, I think its time to get rid of Tynes…
Can’t say this enough but it was a BIG HUGE WIN! GO GMEN!!!!!

Lions @ Packers 20-27
My favorite part of this game was the snow. I just love watching football games that really involve the elements… snow being my favorite. The Lions made it a game but it was the turnovers that cost them in the end.


Texans @ Patriots 14-42
You know its funny when you’re out watching the game and you see a guy in the bar that is pretty gosh darn good looking… you get those dreamy eyes… and then the Patriots score a touchdown and said guy jumps up and starts cheering… suddenly said guy looks like Aaron Rodgers in November and you throw-up in your mouth a little bit. The Patriots are life ruiners…



WEEK 15

Thursday, December 13th (Happy Birthday to me!) 

Bengals [7-6]  @ Eagles [4-9] (8:20pm NFLN)
Taking the Bengals.

Sunday, December 16th  

Colts [9-4] @ Texans [11-2] (1pm CBS)
Picking the Colts, I’d like to see them win. All they need is a little Luck… pun intended. 

Redskins [7-6] @ Browns [5-7] (1pm FOX)
I’m picking the Browns in an upset.

Vikings [7-6] @ Rams [6-6-1] (1pm FOX)
I’m going to take the Rams at home


Broncos [10-3]  @ Ravens [9-4]   (1pm CBS)
Picking the Broncos to win. The Ravens hurt me bad last week and I’m not quite over it.  Though I’d rather see them win this week rather than next week when they play the Giants.

Buccaneers [6-7] @ Saints [5-8]   (1pm FOX)
Picking the Saints to bounce back after last weeks embarrassment. Although the Bucs were pretty embarrassing to watch last week too.

Jaguars [2-11] @ Dolphins [5-8]   (1pm CBS)
Taking the Dolphins

Giants [8-5] @ Atlanta [11-2]   (1pm FOX)
I’m picking the Gmen! It’s the start of the last three “Angry Birds” games. You see the Giants last 3 games are the Falcons, the Ravens, and the Eagles… hopefully we’ll make all these birds very angry by beating them soundly.

Packers [9-4] @ Bears [8-5]   (1pm FOX)
I’ve gotta go with the Packers

Lions [4-9] @ Cardinals [4-9] (4:05pm FOX)
I’m taking the Lions.

Seahawks [8-5] @ Bills [5-8] (4:05pm FOX)
Sorry Bills fans I’m taking the Seahawks. Just hope they don’t embarrass you like they did the Cardinals last week.

Panthers [4-9] @ Chargers [5-8] (4:05pm FOX)
Against better judgment I’m picking the Chargers.

Chiefs [2-11] @ Raiders [3-10] (4:25pm CBS)
This game really is the battle of who could care less… I’m picking the Raiders for the win. But at this point this game could end in a tie and no one would care.

Steelers [7-6] @ Cowboys [7-6] (4:25pm CBS)
As much as it pains me to say it I’ll be rooting for the Steelers and picking them for the win.

49ers [9-3]  @ Patriots [10-3]   (8:20pm NBC)
Man I hope the 49ers beat the Patriots. But for picks sake I’ll have to pick the Pats for the win.

Monday December 17th 

Jets [6-7] @ Titans [4-9]    (8:30pm ESPN)
Both teams are playing so poorly it’s hard to pick a winner. I’ll have to take the Jets for the win. Sorry Abby.

Thanks for the edit Mom


GOOOOOOOOOOOOO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
