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...
Ernesto the Prediction Iguana went 5-2 last week, a good start to the season. (Still angry the Cardinals laid an egg at home against the vulnerable Rams. Gotta win those games if you want a first-round bye in the playoffs.) It’s especially good out of the gate as teams still have not identified themselves enough to our liking. There’s so much mediocrity...
