Records so far:
Nachos: (37-18)
Jed: (38-17)
Managed to close the gap a little with one more win than Jed last week. Keep em rollin!
LEGEND:
49ers vs. Seahawks- Steel is terrible this year but he won't lose to Potus in a divisional match up...he hopes. Nachos picks the Seahawks.
Redskins vs. Panthers- Despite the turnovers Jed has managed to put up a lot of yards, I think he’ll handle a struggling Panthers team. Jed picks the Redskins.
Rams vs. Ravens- Doom will put up a good fight but in the end Rbot is just unstoppable. Nachos picks the Ravens.
Raiders vs. Lions- Picked against Snorkel last week and he destroyed the Vikings. The Lions are a far weaker opponent, hopefully he shows more restraint than other members of his family. Nachos picks the Raiders.
Packers vs. Vikings- Zeek may have let me down this week but I don't see him losing 2 in a row and definitely not to Stokes. Nachos picks the Packers.
Jets vs. Texans- I really hope I'm wrong and Bern smacks the Texans. I'd also like to point out at 8-1 Sticks has played just one real opponent this season. Nachos picks the Texans.
Cowboys vs. Dolphins- This is a close call here. There's not a whole lot to separate these two, but I'm giving the edge to Dallas. Jed picks the Dolphins.
Colts vs. Falcons- The Colts are a far better team than their record would suggest. The Falcons are still struggling and I expect that trend to continue. Nachos picks the Colts.
Chiefs vs. Chargers- First divisional matchup for these two in what should be an evenly matched game. I think the Chargers are a little too one dimensional though, so goin with the Chiefs. Jed picks the Chiefs.
Buccaneers vs. Eagles- Going with Oz again this week. The Eagles have played terribly through 10 weeks and Oz's aggressive game play will take advantage of that. Nachos picks the Eagles.
Broncos vs. Bears- You got this one Felix. Jed picks the Bears.
Bills vs. Patriots- The pats have struggled but you gotta figure they’ll right the ship eventually, right? Jed picks the Bills.
Bengals vs. Cardinals- Never put your faith in Tebow. Jed picks the Cardinals.
Titans vs. Jaguars- I’m not sure what to expect out of the Titans now, so I’ll take the safe bet here. Jed picks the Jaguars.
Records so far:
Nachos: (27-14)
Jed: (29-12)
Jed had an awesome 10-3 record last week, giving him the lead finally. Gotta play some catch up!.
LEGEND:
Week 10 picks
Bears vs. Rams- Spocky is doing his best but the best offense in the league is going to run all over him. Nachos picks the Rams.
Texans vs. Bengals- Sticks has dealt with screens, spies, swats, and burns. He loses big this week...I'll grab the tissues. Nachos picks the Texans.
Saints vs. Redskins- Both teams have struggled so far but the rumor mill says there might be some shake ups in Saints’ management. Expect the skins to take advantage of the confusion. Jed picks the Redskins.
Patriots vs. Giants- Wilson has play horrible this year and Halpin's defense is going to take advantage. Nachos picks the Giants.
Panthers vs. Titans- The panthers fall in the bottom half of the league on both defense and offense, while the Titans are in the top 10 in both categories. Easy pick here. Jed picks the Titans.
Lions vs. Packers- If Lions plays tough underneath, he can beat Stokes at his own game. Nachos picks the Packers.
Jaguars vs. Ravens- even Smooves highest paid gamers can't beat Rwalk. Nachos picks the Ravens.
Dolphins vs. Eagles- Philly has struggled in almost every game this year, that trend continues in week 10. Nachos picks the Dolphins.
Cowboys vs. Buccaneers- Sorry Oz, you’re getting smoked. Jed picks the Buccs.
Chiefs vs. Broncos- The only storyline here is who can become the next face of Denver’s franchise and right their ship next season. Jed picks the Chiefs.
Cardinals vs. Seahawks- These are two users that have been far less dominant than in the previous madden, but it should be a good matchup. I’m going to give the cards the edge here due to a slightly stronger run game. Jed picks the Seahawks.
Browns vs. Steelers- Knashville can hold CPU to 19 plays but doesn't fair as well against a user. Nachos wins easily. Nachos picks the Steelers.
Bills vs. Jets- The new Bills owner played a close one last week, Bern won't put up anywhere near that fight. Nachos picks the Bills.
Vikings vs. Raiders- Game of the week here! Both of these guys have been hot out the gates in the first half of the season and this should work out to be a tight one. Due to my own bias of controlling the Raiders last year, and their own ability to hold on to the ball, I think the Raiders pull this one out. Jed picks the Vikings.
Records so far:
Nachos: (19-9)
Jed: (19-9)
Jed and I are neck and neck, splitting all the games that we differ on our picks. Let’s look at this week.
LEGEND:
Week 9 Pick'ems:
Bears vs. Chargers- I wish I could call this on closer but until the bears can mount a running game they won't be getting much going this year. Nachos picks the Chargers.
Redskins vs. Patriots- Seems I’ve got more faith in Jed than he does in himself. Pats have struggled with the new Madden, Jed should pull this out. Jed picks the Patriots.
Rams vs. Vikings- The Vikings are one of the best in the league, Dooms lack of defense will show in this one. Nachos picks the Rams.
Raiders vs. Steelers- This will be a defensive fight with Snorkel edging it out against the AFC opponent. Nachos picks the Steelers.
Packers vs. Panthers- Panthers win this one easily if he plays smart underneath. Nachos picks the Packers.
Jaguars vs. Jets- Smoove's recent coming out party is the only thing I can assume is feeding is success. And after a week away gaying it up he'll come back focused. Nachos picks the Jags.
Giants vs. Buccaneers- this might be closer than it looks on paper but Halpin will come out on top. Nachos picks the Giants.
Falcons vs. 49ers- Falcons have struggled through the first half of this season but so have the 49ers, this is their (last) chance to right the ship. Nachos picks the Falcons.
Eagles vs. Cowboys- Cowboys have been putting together a solid season, and I think they handle their divisional opponent here. Jed picks the Cowboys.
Dolphins vs. Bills- Peyton has been having a turnover filled season so far. This guy is not going out on a high note. Look for the phins to run away with this one. Jed picks the Dolphins.
Browns vs. Bengals- This looks pretty close on paper, but while the Bengals have no run game to speak of it’ll be hard for them to win game. Jed picks the Browns.
Broncos vs. Colts- Keep goin for that #1 pick. Jed picks the Colts.
Titans vs. Saints- The Saints have a very tough offense to slow down here, and I don’t think they can answer enough times on their own to pull off a win. Jed picks the Titans.
LEGEND:
Records last week:
Nachos: (9-5)
Jed: (9-5)
Week 8 pick 'ems
49ers vs. Rams- Potus hasn't shown much this year with a 1-5 record. Doom will make quick work of this game. Nachos picks the Rams.
Titans vs. Texans- Little Snorks is still undefeated and will continue that trend against Sticks weak defense. Nachos picks the Texans.
Seahawks vs. Cowboys- Steel still hasn't gotten the hang of 16, allowing 30 points a game on average. Nachos picks the Seahawks.
Packers vs. Broncos- Felix is the only team in the AFC without a win and his 16 points a game for 30 points allowed show why. Nachos picks the Packers.
Lions vs. Chiefs- Personal bet here. Fuck you David. Nachos picks the Chiefs.
Jets vs. Raiders- Bern is coming off a huge win over sausage toes, but Snorks #3 overall team is going to bring him back to reality. Nachos picks the Raiders.
Giants vs. Saints- Made the mistake of betting against them last week. Not gonna happen again. Jed picks the Giants.
Dolphins vs. Patriots- After last week's loss of Wilson Patriots will struggle against the Dolphins defense. I expect another big loss. Nachos picks the Patriots.
Colts vs. Panthers- Colts have had a solid season numbers wise, and their losses come from some good teams. I think they’ll pull out a W here. Jed picks the Colts.
Chargers vs. Ravens- Rbot. Jed picks the Ravens.
Cardinals vs. Browns- What a match up at qb. Tebow vs Bortles. It’ll be a test to see who can limit turnovers the best, and the Browns have a slight edge on D. Jed picks the Cardinals.
Buccaneers vs. Falcons-Not exactly a matching of two world beaters here. Gonna pull for the commish. Jed picks the Falcons.
Vikings vs. Bears-The Bears’ defense is near the bottom of the league and I don’t see the Vikings having too much trouble here. Jed picks the Vikings.
Steelers vs. Bengals - Jed forgot to include this one when he sent me his picks (what an idiot), but I'll assume he's smart and will pick me. Jed picks the Steelers.
Welcome back to another edition of Nacho’s Pick ‘Em. We’ve had a delay in the start, but Jed and I are ready to get our predictions underway. Not a lot separating our picks, seems like a lot of the games were pretty clear cut imo. Let’s take a look at Week 7:
LEGEND:
Bills vs. Jaguars- Jesse's inability to run and overuse of the pass with lead to a blow out here against Smoove's cpu. Nachos picks the Jags
Texans vs. Dolphins- Sticks is letting up over 200 yards passing and 100+ rushing on average. Randy is going to have a field day against this soft defense. Nachos picks the Texans
Steelers vs. Chiefs- Don't even need stats, good luck David. Nachos picks the Steelers
Seahawks vs. 49ers- Steel has struggled so far in 16 but the 49ers weak defense and stagnant offense should give his guys the confidence boost they need. Nachos picks the Seahawks.
Saints vs. Colts- Not a bad matchup between two .500 teams. Despite their record, the Colts have been able to run the ball fairly well and they turn it over much less than their opponent. I’m giving them the W. Jed picks the Colts.
Ravens vs. Cardinals- Savage is a good user but Rbot has allowed 10 points a game on average though 6 games. Need I say more? Nachos picks the Ravens.
Raiders vs. Chargers- Travis blows and Snorks 2nd rated defense is going to expose that to the whole league. Nachos picks the Raiders.
Jets vs. Patriots- Poor Bern, his offense isn't bad but he's as lost as the Redskins on defense. Sausage toes is going to beat up on him this week. Nachos picks the Patriots.
Falcons vs. Titans- I don’t think I need to dig too deep here. Unless a new user surprises us with some stick skills, Titans all the way. Jed picks the Titans.
Eagles vs. Panthers- Season hasn’t started too well for either of these offenses, with both qbs hovering near a 1:1 Td to int ratio and in the bottom 10 teams in scoring. I’m leaning Panthers in a close, turnover filled game. Jed picks the Eagles.
Cowboys vs. Giants- Two 1 loss teams face off in an early season divisional rematch. The Giants were able to take the first meeting by a touchdown, but the Cowboys have been on a tear since. Romo’s yards may not jump out at you, but he finds the endzone as well as anybody and he takes care of the football. ‘Boys get revenge behind his arm. Jed picks the Giants.
Buccaneers vs. Redskins- Been a tough road for the Buccs so far, but I’m taking them for an upset in the battle of commishes. Jed picks the Redskins.
Browns vs. Rams- Looking at their schedule, the Browns may have had the toughest start to their season. Their 4 losses come from teams with a (19-3) combined record. It’s not getting any easier this week against the Rams and their #1 offense. Jed picks the Rams.
Vikings vs. Lions- Not too much to say here, a strong Vikings team is going against the Lions who have struggled on defense so far. Jed picks the Vikings.
