Ernesto the Prediction Iguana continued his hot hand into the playoffs, going 3-1, (1-1 in teasers). He hit with the Bengals (although they didn’t), the Packers (nobody else did:) and the OVER in the REDSKINS-packers game. His one loss was the VIKINGS-seahawks, which was well under. This week the big guns host home games, not crappy division winners with...
With a 3-1 finish (1-1 in teasers), we at GNN end the season 67-21-2 on the season – a solid 24-19 in our teaser picks as printed. The Broncos, Patriots and Bengals performed the best for us, while the Steelers, Giants and Packers were often helping us cash in on the OVER. Now we turn to the playoffs. Our intrepid forecaster, Ernesto the Prediction Iguana...
Another 5-1 week for Ernesto the Prediction Iguana (and a 2-1 teaser week) leave the totals going into the last week of the regular season at 64-20-2, (23-18-2 in teasers). Quite the comeback for Ernesto, who started the season almost as poorly as the Kansas City Chiefs, but righted the ship for a late-season ascension. Week 17 is always one of the most difficult...
That’s not Godzilla in that picture, it’s Ernesto the Prediction Iguana at the cashier’s window collecting his winnings. A gargantuan 8-0 week (4-0 in teasers) puts the season totals at a blistering 59-19-2 (21-17-2 in teasers). Since coming back from being benched early in the year, the Animal Kingdom’s Top Sports Prognosticator has been...
Ernesto the Prediction Iguana continued his late season rally this weekend with a solid 5-1 showing, bringing the season totals to a solid 51-19-2 record. He hit with the Packers, Jets, Cardinals, and Giants last week, as well as an over/under call. The lone blemish was Brock Osweiler’s first loss as QB for Denver against the Raiders. This week we continue...
A 4-2 showing last week for Ernesto the Prediction Iguana puts our season totals at a reasonable 46-18-2. The teaser stats on the exact matchups we posted aren’t quite as good – a paltry 15-16-2, but December is when Ernesto shines brightest. Let’s hope that trend holds true to form this year as well. Man, what an egg the Pats laid against the...
It appears we have the makings of a quarterback controversy when it comes to our football picks this season. A lackluster 4-4 week by our intrepid Ernesto the Prediction Iguana makes the season totals 42-16-1. That stat is misleading, however, as Barstow the Cat’s three-week appearance subbing in accounted for 16 of those wins, balanced against just three...
If you’re still buzzed from tryptophan as you’re reading this, then it must be time for another great holiday tradition: Jay’s Sports Awards…the Jazzys, to its friends. From now until the new year, we’ll take a look back at the amazing, the inspiring, the hilarious, (and for one day, the screwy), events that transpired this year. Now we...
Barstow the Prediction Cat went a blistering 7-1 last week, making his 3-week total in relief of Ernesto the Prediction Iguana a terrific 16-3-1. The season total here at GNN is a solid 38-12-1. Ernesto returns after his three week benching. My bet is the time off did him some good: He usually starts slowly every year, then heats up come crunch time, putting up...
It was a weird week for our picks: 3-2-1, bringing the season totals to 31-11-1. The Pats were the lone push for the week, let alone the season. Plus everyone who played the Steelers-Browns game got crossed-up when Ben Roethlisberger was forced into action. Here’s a sure-fire bar bet winner here for you: Who is the Steelers emergency QB? (Answer below.) While...
It was a perfect 6-0 for Barstow the cat, who filled in admirably for Ernesto the Prediction Iguana last week in making the magazine’s NFL Picks. Our first undefeated week here at GNN puts the season tally at a more-than-respectable 28-9 over all. This week, we’re gonna ride the hot hand and let Barstow have another go. He earned it, along with some sweet...
See that picture? That’s what the Buccaneers and the Raiders did to Ernesto’s house this weekend. When’s the last time those two sad sacks beat playoff caliber teams in the same week? At a paltry 3-3, that’s Ernesto’s worst week in four years! It drops the season totals to a mezza-mezza 22-9. He’s benched for the next three weeks...
Another 5-1 week for Ernesto the Prediction Iguana – his third consecutive 5-1 week, which brings the season totals to 19-6. That’s a better than 75% record. (Once again, it was a darned Rams who tripped him up for the only loss of the week.) Here’s this week’s winners before they happen. OVER EASY! PATRIOTS-dolphins OVER 45 The Patriots look...
5-1 last week for our intrepid hero, Ernesto the Prediction Iguana. He hit the Broncos, the Bengals, and 3 over/unders, for a cumulative season total of 14-5. The lone blemish was the Redskins, who packed it in a halftime against the Jets. This week the best sports betting member of the animal kingdom is going with six game picks – no over/unders. (Although...
A 4-2 showing on a particularly tough slate of games last week for Ernesto the Prediction Iguana puts him at 9-4 to start the season. Pretty good, but we’re aiming to get better still. While – of course – we correctly picked the Cheatriots, their defense refused to let in a oh-by-the-way touchdown at the end to hit on the over. The Browns win over...
