Ernesto the Prediction Iguana had a strong 8-2 week last week, 3-2 in teasers. That brings thee overall standings to an excellent 58-20-2 overall, 21-12-2 in teasers. Week 17 is always a dicey proposition, what with teams saving their best players for the playoffs. It’s good to stay quiet this week, so as a result, you get just two plays. GREEN LIGHT REDSKINS ...
It was a 3-3 week for Ernesto the Prediction Iguana, 1-2 in teasers. Although that was rather milquetoast, (that’s what happens when you play NFC West divisional games), and I’m giving him appropriate scowls, he did go undefeated the week before, so we’ll cut him juuuuuuuust a little bit of slack. That brings the season totals to 50-18-2, 18-11-2 in...
Nothing like a vacation to get Ernesto the Prediction Iguana back to firing on all cylinders. His 7 wins, 1 tie, zero losses swells the season totals to a strong 17-9-2 in teasers this season, 47-15-2 overall. Here’s this week’s winners before they happen. And when you collect, tell your man he got crushed iguana style. As always, we do 2-team teasers...
A 4-2 week overall, 2-1 in teasers leaves the season totals at a 40-15-1 overall, and a constantly improving 14-9-1 in teasers. With Ernesto the Prediction Iguana returning this week, it’s time to close the season with a sizzling hot streak. Here’s this week’s winners before they happen. As always we do 2-team teasers here, so you can move the line...
If you didn’t play Faith the Prediction Cat’s picks last week, then you were the biggest turkey on Thanksgiving. Faith went a purr-fect 6-0 last week, 3-0 in teasers, to raise our season totals to a strong 36-13-1 overall, 12-8-1 in teasers. It also means that Faith has tied the single season record for a cat in this column. Her 16-3-1 in relief of...
We’re bringing back Faith the Prediction Cat for two more weeks after her excellent 7-1 showing this week, 3-1 in teasers. The Lions almost made Faith regret her faith in them with that lackluster performance, but they did pull out a late win…unlike the Chiefs, who blew a home game to the hapless Buccaneers and fell out of the lead temporarily in the AFC...
So Faith the Prediction Cat went a rather pedestrian 3-2-1 (1-1-1 in teasers) last week, bringing the season totals to 23-12-1. Covers/wins by the Cowboys, Dolphins and the over in the Skins/Vikes game were offset by the Patriots getting stuffed at the goal line and the Steelers defense melting down like Hillary Clinton in the 4th quarter. Faith gets one more shot...
Ernesto the Prediction Iguana obviously heard the calls for his benching, because he rattled off his second straight 5-1 week, 2-1 in teasers. That brings the season totals to 20-10 overall, 7-8 in teasers. Ernesto heads down to the Dominican Republic this month; he takes every November off to go to Casa de Campo and the Lollapalizard Music Festival. I hear Dinosaur...
That’s more like it – Ernesto the Prediction Iguana went 5-1 last week, and 2-1 in teasers. That brings the season totals to 15-9 overall, 5-7 in exact teasers. He’s headed off for his annual November vacation next week, so the cats all get a chance to show their prognosticating prowess, but before Ernesto and his girl take off to some iguana...
It was another 3-3 week for Ernesto the Prediction Iguana. He hit with the Patriots, Falcons, and Bills, but the Steelers stank up the joint in Miami, while Dallas shellacked the Packers. That brings the young season totals to 6-6, but Ernesto looks to rebound this week. As always, we do teasers here. Home team in CAPS, all lines from www.vegasinsider.com GREEN LIGHT...
It was a 3-3 week for Ernesto the Prediction Iguana, as he got snake-bitten twice in one game when the Ravens laid an egg against the hapless Redskins. Also, what the hell, Cincinnati? That was dismal the wa they laid down against the Cowboys. On that note, Hey Dallas: Tony Who? Anyway, here’s this week’s picks. Cash ’em in. Home team in CAPS. All...

With all the grace and class of a Tinder profile, Hope Solo once again proved that if she’s the voice, face, and heart of the United States Women’s National Soccer team, then they are the quintessential Ugly Americans. It was as colossal a disaster as Women’s soccer could possibly absorb: a perfect storm of athletic defeat, ghastly sportsmanship...
We all read Sally Jenkins’s indispensable guide to the corruption, lack of security, and filth of the 2016 Rio Olympics. Now she breaks down like a fraction all of the mounting failures – everything from acid green pools to suspicious packages to shots fired at media sites. Meanwhile IOC execs have gone Full Mayor Quimby – “Nothing to see...
We’ve said it from day one – golf didn’t need to be in Olympics. This was just a money grab for the networks, the IOC, and the PGA and European Tours. We’ve steadily reported about the terrible format of the tournament, the devastating Zika virus, the filthy water conditions sickening athletes by the dozens, and the security risks. Now Sally...
