Regular Season Week 14

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! It’s my birthday weekend and I’m pretty excited. Maybe for my birthday, the Giants will get a win…. At this point we would probably have to call it “a birthday miracle”. Week 13 was NOT what I had expected, and even though I’ve waited longer than usual to post this report the pain of the Giants loss still runs deep. The Panthers are still undefeated, the Patriots have dropped two in a row, and I actually rooted for the Cowboys and was extremely happy that they won. I didn’t do too bad on my picks (12-4) and I won in one of my leagues, so it wasn’t a complete wash. The Giants are in a three-way-tie for first place in their division, at an abysmal 5-7 record.  I’m looking forward to week 14, mainly because my birthday is Sunday and the Giants play on Monday SO they can’t loose ON my birthday… probably the day after… anyway…

Let’s recap week thirteen.

Packers @ Lions 27-23

Don’t ask my dad about this game, he still gets a little heated talking about it. Apparently there was a facemask penalty that wasn’t a penalty in his opinion, which set up an Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary to win the game. Personally I was more impressed with the perfectly thrown Hail Mary…

Jets @ NY Giants 23-20 OT

I was in PA with some friends for a holiday party and watched this game at their house… it started out great, as games usually do. I was able to explain the game to my friends because I was really the only football fan, and they humored me and even asked questions.  I was able to teach them the term “choke” as it pertains to the Giants…. And that’s all I have to say about that.

Cardinals @ Rams 27-3

Easy win.

Falcons @ Buccaneers 19-23

This is the Falcons 5 loss in a row… Bucs on the other hand are on the up and up.

Seahawks @ Vikings 38-7

This win shocked me. Seattle is getting hot at just the right time of year.  

49ers @ Bears 26-20 OT

The 49ers got their fourth win of the season, there is a joke in there somewhere.  

Jaguars @ Titans 39-42

I was really excited for my cousin Abby, as she is a Titans fan and her season has been far worse than mine.

Texans @ Bills 21-30

At least the Bills won. On our ride back from PA my friend asked if I would ever choose another team because the Giants are so terrible.  I said I’ve kinda picked up the Bills but apparently I wasn’t too convincing.  The Giants will always be MY team. 

Ravens @ Dolphins 13-15

I thought this would be more of a blowout win, I guess not.  

Bengals @ Browns 37-3

Poor Brownies.

Chiefs @ Raiders 34-20

The Chiefs looked good, the Raiders, not so much.

Broncos @ Chargers 17-3

Brock Osweiler has won 3 in a row for the Broncos while Peyton continues to sit on the bench and heal.

Eagles @ Patriots 35-28

THE ONE TIME I ACTUALLY WANTED A PATRIOTS WIN…. AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Panthers @ Saints 41-38

It was nice to see the Panthers fight for a win. I’m glad they got the W. I’m also glad that I didn’t have to watch this game with Panthers fans… it would be like getting a taste of my own medicine I’m sure.

Sometimes I look at the Saints record, which is 4-8, and I think to myself, well at least the Saints have a worse record than the Giants…. And then I remember, that New Orleans beat the Giants…. SMH.  Coincidently, The Cowboys also have a worse record than the Giants and they also beat the Giants.

Colts @ Steelers 10-45

Blah blah blah Big Ben is back.

Cowboys @ Redskins 19-16

Dear Cowboys, thanks for beating the Redskins, love Giants fans everywhere.

WEEK 14

Thursday December 10^th    

Vikings (8-4) @ Cardinals (10-2) [8:25pm NFLN]

So, Thursday I got really sick and wasn’t able to post this report. I did make sure to pick this game though, I picked the Cardinals over the Redskins… yeah, it doesn’t make sense, that’s how delusional I was. Clearly I meant the Cardinals over the Vikings, which is what happened.

Sunday December 13^th

Bills (6-6) @ Eagles (5-7) [1:00pm CBS]

I’m taking the Bills over the Eagles, mainly because I can’t pick the Eagles, I just don’t have it in me.

Seahawks (7-5) @ Ravens (4-8) [1:00pm FOX]

I’m picking the Seahawks.

49ers (4-8) @ Browns (2-10) [1:00pm FOX]

Johnny Football is once again starting for the Browns so I think I’ll pick them for the win.

Lions (4-8) @ Rams (4-8) [1pm FOX]

I’m picking the Lions.

Titans (3-9) @ Jets (7-5)  [1pm CBS]

 I’m going to have to take the Jets over the Titans, sorry Abby.

Steelers (7-5) @ Bengals (10-2) [1pm CBS]

I’m picking the Bengals.

Colts (6-6) @ Jaguars (4-8) [1pm CBS]

 I’m picking the Colts.

Chargers (3-9) @ Chiefs (7-5) [1pm CBS]

 I’m taking the Chiefs.

Redskins (5-7) @ Bears (5-7) [1pm FOX]

I’m picking the Bears, because like the Eagles I can’t pick the Redskins.

Falcons (6-6) @ Panthers (12-0) [pm FOX]

 I’m taking the Panthers.

Saints (4-8) @ Buccaneers (6-6) [1:00pm FOX]

I’m picking the Bucs… I bet it’ll be a high scoring game.

Raiders (5-7) @ Broncos (10-2) [4:05pm CBS]

I’m picking the Broncos.

Cowboys (4-8) @ Packers (8-4) [4:25pm FOX]

I’m picking the Packers.

Patriots (10-2)  @ Texans (6-6)[8:30pm NBC]

I’d like to pick the Texans but I’m going with the Patriots.  

Monday, December 14^th   

Giants (5-7) @ Dolphins (5-7) [8:30pm ESPN]

Picking against the Giants doesn’t work for them getting a win so I’m going to go back to picking the Giants for the win… I’m delusional. Maybe they’ll win and I’ll get a late birthday present.

GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the edit Mom!!!!!
