Bik's Week 13 Thanksgiving Picks

Oh my oh my oh my – does November have to end? LOVE this month so far with the picks! Forget Movember – let’s go with #Lovember. Trucking along 32-20-4 in November... not too shabby on the march back towards .500 for the year.

Happy Thanksgiving and Happy no more bye weeks for teams! A week without Seahawks football is the worst. Onto the Thursday Picks. Home team in CAPS:

Bik's Week 12 NFL Picks

We're sticking with the quick write-ups until things go hay-wire for me since we've now had 3 weeks in a row above .500.

Seahawks, Eagles, Bills, Bengals all on byes this week - the final week for byes. Home Teams are in CAPS.

Bik's Week 12 Thursday Night Pick

Don’t call it a comeback! Back after ANOTHER above .500 week (which included 3 pushes – how brutal was that!)  and we’ll keep going with what works. Keeping things quick and simple.

Onto the Thursday Night Pick. Home team in CAPS:

Saints (-8.5) over FALCONS

I really did everything I possibly could to find a way to take Atlanta. The only thing I could come up with was that with their season effectively over, how great it would be for them to jam up their rival Saints from home-field advantage in the playoffs. It would just be too sweet right? But to do that, you actually need a good team and I just flat out don’t think they have any makings of a decent team. They’re too banged up and will once again fail to win in the trenches. They struggle with the pass-rush and if you’re giving Brees even an extra second, he’ll find a way to hurt you. I do hate going against the HOME DOG, but I gotta!

Rest of Week 12 picks on Friday

Last Week: 7-5-3

This Season: 73-83-6

Bik's Week 11 NFL Picks

Week 11 Picks: Back to back weeks above .500 – WATCH OUT 2^ND HALF SURGE!!!! On bye this week: Dallas and St. Louis..... Home teams are in CAPS

Ok so busy week again for me – so write-ups are going to be quick. In fact just 1 line each. It’s a matchup league so quick takes on the matchups that will determine the games.

Bik's Thursday Night Week 11 Pick

TITANS (+3) over Colts

Gimme the HOME DOG! I think Chris Johnson can run all over this Colts D and Fitzpatrick can do enough to not lose at home to the Colts. And the injuries might start catching up to Indy.

Last Week:9-4-1

This Season: 66-78-3

Bik's Week 10 NFL Picks: Power Ranks v3.0

It’s been a bit longer than I had hoped to do the next power-ranks so here they are through 10 weeks. So back again are my current power ranks for the NFL. The Number in brackets is the teams rank from Week 7:

Bik's Thursday Nigh Week 10 Pick

VIKINGS (+2.5) over Redskins

I just don't think Washington is very good. Especially defensively so I'm not sure why they're a road favorite so give me the HOME DOG!

Last Week: 7-6

This Season: 61-83-2

Bik's Week 9 Picks

Due to some scheduling conflicts didn’t get a chance to post my Thursday Night Pick but just know it was documented between TJ and I that I picked Dolphins +3.... I know it looks shady since my picks are struggling this year and I’m posting that I got the game right the day after, but just make a leap of faith.

I was going to write something about the Sedins’ re-signing with the Canucks but it was getting excessively long and this piece is generally saved for the NFL Picks so I’ll have that for you next week. So onto the picks – on bye this week: Denver, Detroit, New York Giants, Arizona, San Francisco, Jacksonville. Home teams are in CAPS.
