NFL Conference Championship Playoff Picks

January 20th, 2006 · 1 Comment

We’re taking a little break from JeremyAbramson.com™ Presents: The Real World, Ultimate Hump List, just in time for the conference championships. I went 2-2 this past week, picking both NFC games (including a road dog and a home favorite that needed to cover by almost 10 points!), but losing out on both AFC games. [...]

NFL Divisional Round Playoff Picks

January 13th, 2006 · No Comments

We’re back with picks this week, trying to edge toward profitability. Picking playoff games is a bit rough, since both teams are, presumably, good squads who have a chance to win. Instead of “fun facts” or “favorite momements” this week, we’re going with another alternative way of picking teams: The number of USC [...]

Gambling is for morons

January 8th, 2006 · 1 Comment

This is why we don’t gamble on football. After a promising Saturday (with the Pats and ‘Skins winning) I went 0-2 on Sunday, after Carson Palmer’s ACL did it’s little string cheese impression. With the Bengals and Giants getting crushed, my push for profitability took a mild hit, as I went 2-2 for [...]

NFL First Round Playoff Picks

January 6th, 2006 · 1 Comment

My first post of 2006! Whoo hoo!
I know, I know. It’s been awhile. I’m sorry.
This isn’t going to turn into a sports-only blog – I promise – but there have been a lot of sports-related things going on. Actually, there have been a lot of other-related things going on as well, [...]

Week 17 NFL Picks

December 30th, 2005 · No Comments

Sigh. Week 17. Parting can be such sweet sorrow.
I didn’t really put a lot of thought into the picks this week, which is too bad. This is my last — unless I pick the playoff games, which I’ll probably do — chance to get above .500 for the season. [...]

Week 16 NFL Picks

December 23rd, 2005 · 2 Comments

So Jeffy is still busy, and Sam is busy on his “Hey, I’m a Jew / NorCal ‘05″ Tour, so it looks like I’m all by myself this week as far as picks are concerned. And I know things have been slow here this past week, but don’t worry. We’ll catch up soon [...]

Week 15 NFL Picks

December 16th, 2005 · 1 Comment

Jeffy has been very busy with minor shit like “working” and “making money” so the picks have been spotty at best these past couple of weeks. But have no fear, loyal JeremyAbramson.com™ reader, we have a super special guest-picker in this week.
Yes, that’s right…our own Sam Greenspan (dot com) is taking his turn picking [...]

Week 13 NFL Picks

December 3rd, 2005 · No Comments

We’re back like vertebrae this week, with a special twist: Jeffy is making his picks in Haiku form. Of course, that reminds me a bit of Gregg Easterbrook, who used to write the slightly-amusing “Tuesday Morning Quarterback” column for ESPN.com’s Page 2, and was subsequently fired for hating Jews or something. Now, I’m [...]

NFL Mascot Power Rankings, Week 12

November 29th, 2005 · No Comments

Both Jeffy and I feel bad about not having any picks last week. Jeffy is offering, by way of apology, his first ever Mascot Power Rankings. For those of you that don’t read ESPN.com religiously / live in a cave, ESPN does weekly Power Rankings of most major sports. So on with [...]

A Triumphant Return…

November 21st, 2005 · No Comments

…perhaps without the triumph.
So, after a two-week hiatus, we returned with the Football Picks, only for me to go 2-2. Whoopdee-freakin’-do. Of course I fared better than Jeffy, who showed a little rust from the layoff, and went 0-4. This brings my overall record to a disappointing 15-17 (under .500 and far [...]
