NFL Week 4 Picks!
I know, I know – it’s Sunday already and I have been slacking. BUT, the picks are in and I’m ready for some football!
For the 4th week in a row I picked the Thursday night winner and I now have 34 wins on the season and sit in 2nd place in my pool, just 1 win off the lead.
So here’s hoping for some big wins today so I can get up there to the top of the board!
Remember, the Pittsburgh vs Minnesota game is in London and those games are usually gross + both of those teams are winless – maybe you don’t have to watch that one too closely unless you have AP on your fantasy roster.
At 4:25pm I will be paying attention to the Cowboys vs Chargers from San Diego. A road win this weekend would be HUGE for Dallas and give them another win towards what could be an NFC East title. There, I said it. The division looks awful and we could win it.
Here’s the full list of picks for week 4…
Last week I had 12 wins. This week I’m looking for even more!
☞ Baltimore
☞ Cincinnati
☞ Detroit
☞ Kansas City
☞ Minnesota
☞ Tampa Bay
☞ Indianapolis
☞ Seattle
☞ New York Jets
☞ Denver
☞ Washington
☞ DALLAS
☞ Atlanta
☞ New Orleans
☞ Byes: Green Bay & Carolina
Note: Go Cowboys!
If you’re picking this week, good luck. Unless you’re in my pool – then I hope you’re wrong every time we have a different pick!
And remember, it’s all fun and games until you lose a ton of money. So play smart and within your limits.
Here’s hoping that we get a day full of highlights and touchdowns and great football.
Note: That Atlanta vs New England game is going to be a follow along and check-in game for me because I will be watching the Breaking Bad finale on AMC. And I’m not sorry.
Good Luck. Stay Awesome!
Movember, It’s Coming – Welcome To The Union!
Ladies and gentlemen, MoBros and MoSistas, the time has come again for us to start thinking about that most wondrous time of year – MOVEMBER!
Last year the Moustache Farmers of Canada raised close to $3000 including an awesome $1680 at the 3rd Annual Movember Challenge Karaoke night.
This year we’re looking for raise even more… and while we don’t have a solid goal yet – I can tell you that it would be the most amazing thing in the world to raise $5000.
What we do have is a new name – Moustache Growers Union Local 416647 – and we have a growing team of union members who I know are going to be amazing teammates and enthusiastic fundraisers.
I’d also like to take a second to thank the people who donated to my personal page in 2012:
Edna Mulchwegger
Kevin Armstrong
Linda Chan
Amanda Farough
Carly Wade
Trish Cassling
Laura Saba
Scott Armstrong
This year we’re throwing around some new ideas for the fund collecting. The awesome team (Matt) at sweetgif.com (one of my favourite toys on all of the internet) has been looking to get into the Movember game and we hope that this is the year it happens!
I’m also in love with the idea of little UNICEF inspired boxes to pass out to anyone and everyone. You can put have them at home, the office, the bar, the subway, wherever the heck you want. I’m looking forward to planning that one out a little bit more.
And, if all the ducks line up in a row, I’m thinking of a Kickstarter style reward program for donations including e-cards, personalized gifs, magnets and other such things that we can pull off.
I know that it’s still the last week of September and there are 5 weeks left until I shave off my beard and go ‘stache only. But I’m excited and I can’t wait to get started. This is a great cause, doing great work with great men and women all over the world. And with Canada as a leader – I am proud to participate in Movember again in 2013.
If you want to be a MoBro or a MoSista and are looking for a team – you are welcome to join the Moustache Growers Union Local 416647 – even if you aren’t 416 or 647. Just click the LINK and voila.
Keep Being Awesome!
NFL Week 3 Picks!
Week 3 is here and while the action kicked off Thursday night in Philly… there’s a lot more where that came from. For the 3rd week in a row I picked the winner in game 1 of the week. Congrats to coach Andy Reid on his 3-0 start in KC and his successful return to the city he called home for 14 seasons.
This week sees Buffalo head into New York to take on the Jets in a battle of rookie QBs. So far each one has a win and a loss. Each one has given their fans a reason to hope for the future. But only one of them can win in week 3. As you can tell by the photo above – I’m taking the Bills.
Meanwhile, in Texas… the St. Louis Rams come in to take on the Cowboys who need to bounce back from a tough 1 point loss last week against Reid’s Chiefs. I’m taking my ‘Boys this week. A win would be big. A win is needed. Let’s get a win!
As for the rest of the picks, take a look.
2 weeks in a row I’ve picked up 11 wins… here’s hoping this week brings more.
☞ Green Bay
☞ DALLAS
☞ Tennessee
☞ Minnesota
☞ New England
☞ New Orleans
☞ Detroit
☞ Carolina
☞ Baltimore
☞ Miami
☞ Buffalo
☞ San Francisco
☞ Seattle
☞ Chicago
☞ Denver
Note: Go Cowboys!
If you’re picking this week, I wish you luck. Unless of course you’re in my pool.
And remember, if you’re putting money down on these games, play within your limits…
And take a good look at the points on the Seattle vs Jacksonville game. Yes the Jags are awful, but if that things stays at 19.5 (where I’ve seen it this week) it might be worth taking them against the spread.
But not to win!
Good Luck. Stay Awesome!
