Torrey the Prediction Cat, our intrepid NFL prognosticator had another rough week, going 3-3 for the week, 1-2 in teasers, sinking the young season’s tally to 75 overall, 24 in teasers. The Steelers defense actually showed up to play football instead of ballroom dancing, although they only managed to play 56 minutes. Better shore that up fast, black and gold...
Torrey the Prediction Cat went 4-2 last week to open the season, but just 1-2 in teasers. As usual, the Patriots were a shoo-in, and the Seahawks were their usual, reliable selves. He also hit with the Panthers and Saints tough to do in the unpredictable NFC South. The two losses were the putrid Giants laying an egg at home against the Vikings and a surprisingly weak...
Ernesto the Prediction Iguana went 3-1 last week, 1-1 in teasers. This week it’s the Rams and the OVER. The Rams are getting nine, but may win outright. Even if the Cheatriots pull it out, it’ll be so close that the Rams will cover. Moreover, the line is a mere 51, low enough that even if it’s a blowout one way, they still should hit the OVER. RAMS...
Torrey the Prediction Cat went 3-1, 1-1 last week in the Wild Card round. He won with the Cowboys, the Chargers and one OVER/UNDER. Sadly, the Bears came up short on that field goal and he missed the OVER against the Eagles. His totals thus far are a respectable 8-2, 3-2 in teasers. We’ll give him one more week before switching back to Ernesto the Prediction...
It was a wild week in the NFL, and it was a wild week for Ernesto the Prediction Iguana as well. He went 4-4, 2-2 in teaser plays, putting the season totals at 45-21 overall, 20-13 in teasers. He won three overs, and hit with the Saints, (5-1 for us this season), but lost with the Chiefs, (4-1 for us), Broncos, (0-1 for us), Patriots, (7-2), and Texans (1-1)...
It was another excellent week for Ernesto the Prediction Iguana and his crackerjack research staff: 4-2 overall, 2-1 in teasers bringing the season totals to 8-4 overall, 4-2 in teasers. He won last week with the Patriots (Ernesto is 2-0 with them this season), the Panthers (also 2-0) and Chargers. We are also 2-0 betting against the Browns. As always, we do 2-team...
All year long for this? PATRIOTS-eagles?? Most of the country is shaking their head over this stinker of a Super Bowl. This one is like voting for President – you hold your nose, pull the lever, and hope for the best. If Ernesto had hands, he’d throw them up in frustration. As it is, he’s sticking his tongue out and hissing, partly because of the...
It was one of the greatest plays in NFL history. It was a bit of a fluke, to be sure – two defenders colliding when one decides to go airborne – but the Vikings will take it. After all, they were on the receiving end of that in 1975 when Roger Staubach and the Cowboys shattered their hopes with the original “Hail Mary,” also in the divisional...
Faith the Prediction Cat picked right up where she left off last season, going a stellar 7-1 last week, 3-1 in teasers, bringing our AWITP/Golf News Net season totals to 38-12, 15-10 in teasers. Her lone loss was the Chargers shocking upset of Dallas on Thanksgiving Day, (and nobody got that right). Faith also increased her lifetime record percentage filling in for...
It was another strong 5-1 week (2-1 in teasers) for Ernesto the Prediction Iguana, the undisputed reigning champion of the Animal Sports Prognostication Kingdom. That swells the season totals to a sterling 28-8 overall, 12-6 in teasers! The only loss was the REDSKINS-Vikings as both defenses forgot to show up…or went to Landover by mistake or something. At...
Upsets by the Bears and Chargers triggered Ernesto the Prediction Iguana’s worst week in three years – a 2-4, 1-2 performance that left the season totals at 12-6 overall, 5-4 in teasers. That makes three big wins by the bears over quality opponents, as they beat both the Ravens and Steelers, making them and the Rams the season’s most remarkable...
We’re back! It’s Week 5 and teams have started to identify themselves. That means Ernesto the Prediction Iguana is out of hibernation and ready to ascend his throne as the undisputed, all belts unified champion of the Animal Prognostication Kingdom. As always, we do teasers here, so you get to move the line six points in either direction, using lines from...
Ernesto the Prediction Iguana went .500 last week, 2-2 over all, 0-2 in teasers, putting the playoff record at 5-2-1 overall, 1-2-1 in teasers. That puts the season totals at 66-23-3 overall, 23-15-3 in teasers, a solid total. Here’s this week’s winner – and remember what Paulie Walnuts said about gambling on the Sopranos, “Bet wi’ ya...
Ernesto the Prediction Iguana went 3-0-1 last week, hitting on the Texans and the OVER against Oakland, and the Seahawks in their shellacking of Detroit. He got lucky pushing the STEELERS-dolphins game on the back end. That makes us 1-0-1 for the playoffs (64-21-3 overall this season, 23-13-3 in teasers). Here’s this week’s winners before they happen. As...
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...
