Week 8 - With Apologies to D‘Ernest Johnson

Week 7 provided the lopsided decisions we expected, but there were some surprises along the way as well. We share our thoughts on an interesting weekend of games in the NFL.

We discuss Roger Goodell's handling of the Washington Football Team Investigation and speculate on what he could be hiding.

Then it's on to Week 8 as we bring the epic not-so-expert analysis and predictions for Halloween weekend. And in a contrast from last week, some of these picks are very difficult to make.

Plus, our new segment "What's Bothering the Minorities?" debuts as we look at what can be done to set up a level playing field in college sports, especially in the FBS football world. And the NHL expansion Kraken honor Seattle's hockey history.

Week 7 - The Most Lopsided Match Ups of the Season

We all did very well with out Week 6 picks... well, except Rob that is. We look back on the past weekend which featured the Jacksonville Jaguars of London claiming their first win of the season.

After Chickenwing and DJ share their Bye Week Report Cards for the 49ers and Cowboys, respectively, we jump into our trademark not-so-expert analysis and predictions for Week 7 and all of it's crazy double-digit point spreads... which may still be too low for some match ups.

Plus, the NBA season has begun! We discuss who we think walks away with the Larry O'Brien trophy this year.

Week 6 - Return of the London Jaguars

To say that this was an eventful week in the NFL would be an understatement. We try to make sense of Week 5 (and its many missed field goals) as we discuss what surprised us the most.

Week 6 features some very good match-ups and another meeting of bad teams in London We provide our not-so-expert analysis and predictions for the week.

Plus, we also discuss the John Gruden email controversy that has been the talk of the NFL. Did the NFL do enough? And what else is hiding in those 650,000 emails?

Week 4 - Derek Carr is a Pad-Statter

DJ just killed it in Week 3 and has jumped into the lead. We're gonna look back and discuss our "regret picks" and biggest surprises from the weekend. And do we have a clear understanding of who is for real this season after 3 weeks?

Then it's on to our shit-talking, not-so-expert analysis, and predictions for Week 4. This weekend's games featured some tough match-ups to pick and a highly anticipated Sunday Night game.

DJ and Chickenwing also take a few minutes to pay tribute to their grandfather who passed away over the weekend.

Week 3 - Jameis Winston is Back... to Normal

We fared a lot better on our Week 2 picks, but the weekend provided some interesting results. We take a look back at some of the surprise teams, picks we regret making, and try to figure out what a taunting penalty is in the NFL.

From there, it's the not-so-expert analysis you know and love as we make our Week 3 predictions. We discuss what games will be close, what the big upsets may be, and what games we are most looking forward to.

Week 2 - It‘s a Good Week to Break Curses

Let's face it, the NFL's Week 1 had so many surprises. We overreact and try to make sense of it all as our prediction records look very similar to last year's NFC East standings.

We also provide our not-so-expert analysis of the Week 2 slate of games and make our predictions.

Is Urban Meyer a good fit for Jacksonville? Or would he head west if he got the offer for USC? And will Nori and JC break their Falcons and Texans prediction curses, respectively?
