Torrey the Prediction Cat went a solid 4-2 last week overall, 2-1 in teasers. Swelling his lifetime percentage in this column to just shy of 60%, Torrey continued his winning ways playing the Chiefs and Bucs. Sadly the third parlay of road dogs spit the bit, but in sports prognostication, 59% is Gold Standard, and Torrey has not only carried on the torch passed to...

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 a wild week for Ernesto the Prediction Iguana, our intrepid animal kingdom prognosticator. He went 4-2, but by the skin of his teeth as he looked to go 1-5 early on. Thank you Patriots for your dominance and Ravens for the back door cover. The season total stands at 10-8. Ernesto got a stern talking to this weekend. He goes on vacation every November and the...
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...

Here’s how Cincinnati lost an UN-LOSE-ABLE game to their hated rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers. The NFL Wild Card game between the Steelers and the Bungles – for that’s what they are after the way they lost that game – should be required viewing for every young athlete. It’s a perfect example how to blow a game with selfishness and...
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...
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...
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...
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...
