Oooppppsss! 2001 Season Week 9 Outcomes

I just realized that I forgot to publish my results from Week 9 of the 2011 NFL Season.  She-yit!  How did I managed to do this?  Well... last week was very busy.  I guess I just forgot.

In any case, my record was 9-5.  Nothing to boast about, but only Eric Allen of ESPN managed to match my record of success.  Everybody else was less accurate than me and Eric.  You can see their picks here for the record.  I am proud that I called both of the big games correctly.  I nailed Ravens v. Steelers and also the Giants v. Patriots.

One of these days I hope to hear from the NFL Network about that software management position.  They can use my gaming-calling skills as an added free bonus.

Week 9 Results, Week 10 Predictions

I had another so-so week last week going 8-5. I suppose you can make money in Vegas at that level, but I never better. True Virgos don't gamble. I strive for accuracy. I am still looking for that elusive perfect week where I call them all down the line.

This week is full of difficult choices. I can see a lot of different scenarios in this weeks matchups. Texans v Jaguars is one of the most maddening choices on the board. Right next to it is the terrible match between the Cardinals and Seahawks. Those are truly no-win propositions.

Of course, the game I am looking forward to the most is the Rams at 49ers. This is our first opportunity to defeat them in some time, and it is our first opportunity to post a winning record past mid-season in a very long time.

Memo to Sam Bradford: The very best birthday present to you can serve yourself is a victory over the 49ers. Understand that they are the most hated enemy in the lexicon of despised Ram foes. We hate them with every fiber of our being. Kurt Warner cemented himself with Ram fans by busting up the 49ers in his first try. Do the same and most all doubters will be silenced. Lock those pinchers on them and sting them good, Scorpio. You'll be glad you did.
