NFL Picks 9/19: Thursday Night Football – Kansas City Chiefs at Philadelphia Eagles

NFL Picks and Predictions: Thursday Night Football – Kansas City Chiefs at Philadelphia Eagles

In a game with almost no Z-Code signal, I thought it would be fun to bring back one of my favorite forms of analysis – the bullet point organization of a tricky game. Unfortunately, I still can’t come to a decision. Let’s check out why:

1. Thursday Night Football always favors the home team. With less time to prepare, road teams historically have some serious difficulty adjusting to the short week with travel. Beware road teams on Thursdays! It’s a DEFINITE trend.

2. Both the Philadelphia  ...

MLB Picks 9/18: Desperate New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays

MLB Picks and Predictions 9/18: New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays

The Yankees have owned the Jays this year, but they’re mired in a year-end slump that could end their push for the playoffs.

It’s been a horrible season for the Yankees. Injuries took away New York’s chances early on, but they battled through. Just when they looked like they were turning a corner in a tight wild card race, injuries seem to have hit them too hard once more.

When you look at this Yankees lineup, it’s just not the same team we thought they were. Then again,  ... 

MLB Picks 9/16: Free Cash Contest – Texas Rangers at Tampa Bay Rays

MLB Picks and Predictions: September 16th – Featured $100 Contest Game – Texas Rangers at Tampa Bay Rays

This is a rare opportunity to showcase two slumbering teams that are equally futile at the moment, but also the two teams tied for the wild card at the moment. The Rangers have lost ten of eleven, the Rays have sunk to within a few games of missing the playoffs. This is a battle – but not the type you’d expect from the current wild card placeholders.

With at least three teams nipping at their heels, this series could mean everything to  ... 

NFL Week Two Picks: Dallas Cowboys at Kansas City Chiefs

Arrowhead is a tremendously difficult stadium to go into and win. This could be a factor when Romo’s receivers are already running the wrong routes when they’re in friendly confines. Andy Reid knows the Cowboys pretty well, which could also be a factor. I see why Vegas is making the Chiefs a three-point favorite, but I don’t necessarily agree with it.

I don’t know that the Chiefs are very good. I understand the higher expectations, but I don’t believe in Alex Smith and I don’t think the Chiefs have all that many weapons on offense. Charles is an excellent running  ...

NFL Picks and Predictions Week Two: Thursday Night Football – New England Patriots Vs New York Jets

NFL Picks and Predictions: Thursday Night Football – New York Jets at New England Patriots

I’m on the Patriots -12 and the Patriots teased to -6 with the over. I am very low confidence and betting this because it is the only show in town and I’m looking for fun… I would not qualify this spread as a system play, but I will be on it.

The Jets surprised everyone when they stole a win from the Bucs, who I thought were going to have a great year. New York is a garbage team with a slow defense, weak running  ... 

MLB Picks 9/11: Pittsburgh Pirates at Texas Rangers

MLB Picks and Predictions: Pittsburgh Pirates at Texas Rangers

Z-Code and I are in an epic battle in this one so I figured I’d feature it on the main page. Normally, when Z-Code and I disagree, it’s a good sign to stay away from a game. I’d have to continue with that advice on this game, but it’s fun to take a look at.

Z-Code likes the Pirates. With full five-star support on the underdog, the play looks to have some value. Still, Burnett is slumping and there’s sweep resistance here. I don’t trust AJ Burnett to snap out of  ...
