OTB's NFL Week 9 Picks


Much like the NFL LOLCat above, OTB has been denied at the gate with it's pick em' contest with Great Sports Name Hall of Fame.

We are now officially nine games back in the standings. That's pretty sad but there is still plenty of time left.

However this week, these picks remind me of a song:



Wait, not that song. This song:



Here are the picks for Week 9:

NFL Week 9

OTB's NFL Week 8 Picks


As we continue the OTB vs. GSNHOF NFL picks contest, I keep falling further behind.

Here are the current records:

75-28 - Great Sports Name Hall Of Fame
67-36 - Outside The Boxscore (8 Games Back)


Yep, I'm only 8 games back and I'm picking at a rate of 65%. So that's really nothing to hang my head about; if I was below 50%, then I would take a serious look at my NFL picking habits.

GSNHOF's latest trash talk came regarding my Raiders pick over New York Jets:

Well the Raiders were themselves this week and got slaughtered 38-0 (how bad did that hurt Ben?) and the Eagles, though they still looked sloppy, easily took care of a horrible Redskins team on Monday night

I think GSNHOF might need some vicodin to calm themselves down. Besides, the Raiders will probably win this week just prove the point and screw me over again in regards to my pick.

Anyway, here are the picks.

SUN, NOV 1 TIME (ET) TV
Houston at Buffalo 1:00 PM CBS
Cleveland at Chicago 1:00 PM CBS
Seattle at Dallas 1:00 PM FOX
St. Louis at Detroit 1:00 PM FOX
Denver at Baltimore 1:00 PM CBS
San Francisco at Indianapolis 1:00 PM FOX
Miami at NY Jets 1:00 PM CBS
NY Giants at Philadelphia 1:00 PM FOX
Jacksonville at Tennessee 4:05 PM CBS
Oakland at San Diego 4:05 PM CBS
Carolina at Arizona 4:15 PM FOX
Minnesota at Green Bay 4:15 PM FOX
MON, NOV 2 TIME (ET) TV

OTB's NFL Week 7 Picks


Well, OTB has done a decent job at picking NFL games on a week to week basis, but let's be honest, we need to pick up the pace here.

This is one of those "Big Boy" weeks where there appears to be a limited numbers of easy picks. We could gain some ground or take a cliff-dive.

Here are the picks for Week 7.

NFL Week 7
SUN, OCT 25 TIME (ET) TV
Green Bay at Cleveland 1:00 PM FOX
San Diego at Kansas City 1:00 PM CBS
Indianapolis at St. Louis 1:00 PM CBS
Minnesota at Pittsburgh 1:00 PM FOX
New England at Tampa Bay 1:00 PM CBS
San Francisco at Houston 1:00 PM FOX

OTB's NFL Week 5 Picks


Okay, for those of you keeping count, I am currently behind GSNHOF by 8 games in the NFL picks. However, when you compare the records it eventually looks like the trend will head towards me.

45-17 - Great Sports Name Hall Of Fame
37-25 - Outside The Boxscore (8 Games Back)


GSNHOF is picking at a rate of 72% of their games and eventually they have to trend down. Why? Well, obviously somethings are going to shake down in the NFL where games are going to become harder to pick and we all know that even the best prognosticators cannot keep up with a 70% winning percentage for the entire year.

Here are my picks for week 5 and I have feeling that comeback will be happening in the next few weeks.

Week 5
SUN, OCT 11 TIME (ET) TV
Cleveland at Buffalo 1:00 PM CBS
Dallas at Kansas City 1:00 PM FOX
Minnesota at St. Louis 1:00 PM FOX
Oakland at NY Giants 1:00 PM CBS
Tampa Bay at Philadelphia 1:00 PM FOX
Pittsburgh at Detroit 1:00 PM CBS
Washington at Carolina 1:00 PM FOX
Cincinnati at Baltimore 1:00 PM CBS
Atlanta at San Francisco 4:05 PM FOX
Jacksonville at Seattle 4:15 PM CBS
Houston at Arizona 4:15 PM CBS
New England at Denver 4:15 PM CBS
Indianapolis at Tennessee 8:20 PM NBC
MON, OCT 12 TIME (ET) TV
NY Jets at Miami 8:30 PM ESPN

Byes: Chicago, Green Bay, New Orleans, San Diego

OTB's NFL Week 3 Picks


Last week, we bounced back to pull within four games of Great Sports Name HOF in our NFL pick em' battle.

Here is short excerpt from his picks for this week:

Ben gained a bit on me this week (he went 10-6 last week, GSNHOF went 9-7), so this week we're out to show Ben and the OTB team that last week was a fluke. From this point forward, we're aiming to now lose a week to OTB for the rest of the season. Lofty goals, but we're damn good.

Last week was a fluke? No, let's correct this, your first week was a fluke. The odds of picking 14 out of 16 NFL games is pretty low to begin with and I doubt that either of us will come close to that number again. So of course, there will be a drop off the following week. However, I do have a sinking feeling that this week, no ground will be gained.

Here are my picks for this week:

Week 3
SUN, SEP 27 TIME (ET) TV
Washington at Detroit 1:00 PM FOX
Green Bay at St. Louis 1:00 PM FOX
San Francisco at Minnesota 1:00 PM FOX
Atlanta at New England 1:00 PM FOX
Tennessee at NY Jets 1:00 PM CBS
Kansas City at Philadelphia 1:00 PM CBS
NY Giants at Tampa Bay 1:00 PM FOX
Cleveland at Baltimore 1:00 PM CBS
Jacksonville at Houston 1:00 PM CBS
New Orleans at Buffalo 4:05 PM FOX
Chicago at Seattle 4:05 PM FOX
Miami at San Diego 4:15 PM CBS
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati 4:15 PM CBS
Denver at Oakland 4:15 PM CBS
Indianapolis at Arizona 8:20 PM NBC
MON, SEP 28 TIME (ET) TV

NFL Picks-The Clusterbomb of Week 14


When we look at the week 14 of NFL games, it reminds me more of the Victoria's Secret fashion show. There alot of attractive games but you probably still have no chance of scoring with any of them.

PHI @ NYG: The Eagles fly into New York as the Giants look to improve on an 11 to 1 record. The Eagles had an impressive win against the Cardinals and it appears that McNabb is back to being the starter again. Even without the Plaxico Burress situation, look for the Giants to take the lead through their running game and Eli Manning.
Winner: Giants


MIN @ DET: The Lions continue their winless season as the Vikings come to town. Gus Frerotte looked like the 1994 version against the Chicago Bears. Honestly after awhile, we have to look at the team of destiny that is the Detroit Lions who will be the first 0-16 ever. However we have to take a look at the close 12 to 10 victory earlier in the season but who cares, Lions lose big. Winner: Vikings


ATL @ NO: How many of you picked the Atlanta Falcons to be in the playoff hunt by week 14? Rookie of the Year Matt Ryan will have to go the Superdome to keep the Falcons in the Wild-Card hunt. However, Drew Brees is looking to bounce back to that loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Watch for the shoot-out and "home-dome" advantage to give the Saints an edge.
Winner: Saints


MIA V BUF in Toronto, Canada: The great white north of canada will have its first ever regular season NFL game between the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills. The Bills will have to start JP Losman due to an injury to Trent Edwards, the Bills without Edwards should be on track for a loss. Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams (who played in Canada for Toronto in the CFL) will just have to show up to Tim Horton's and get a victory.
Winner: Dolphins


NYJ @ SF: The 49ers and Shaun Hills face the J-E-T-S, JETS!, JETS!. It would be easy to assume that Brett Favre will carve up the 49ers secondary and Thomas Jones will have another big game. I like things, easy.
Winner: Jets


DAL @ PIT: The Cowboys will face off against Steelers on the road. The Boys will be without starting runningback Marion Barber but expected back-up running-back Tashard Choice to fill in fine. The Steelers are coming off a big victory against the Patriots on the road and look to take the strangle-hold on the AFC North. Look for the Cowboys to steal a win on the road.
Winner: Cowboys

and Sunday Night Football

WAS @ BAL: The Joe Flacco experiment seems to be working with the Ravens competing in the AFC North. The first flex-game of the year and well the only flex game, the Redskins will have to force turnovers and run the football down Baltimore throat. However, the Ravens should hold the Washington Redskins below 100 yard rushing and Joe Flacco throws for two touchdowns.
Winner: Ravens

Enjoy the games of Week 14.
