My song this week was “Wretches and Kings” by Linkin Park. Whie one of my favorite bands, it was more pu;lling straws than anything this time.
Let me start off by thanking those of you who watched our political election night live coverage! It was a monumental achievment for our university’s media department, and we heard we got some very positive reviews from social media for it. Because of the amount of working myself and my colleagues were putting into the night last week, I could not afford the time to upload my picks. But with my assistant editor for my blog, Paul Wintruba, as my witness, I did make my picks (and typed them onto my phone). I went 10-4, good enough for, when combined with my 11-3 week 8 performance, 80-52. That puts me tied for eighth place out of 13 people. My picks may not be all before kickoff, but here they are:
Indianapolis over Jacksonville
New York Giants over Cincinatti
Miami over Tennessee
Detroit over Minnesota
New England over Buffalo
Atlanta over New Orleans
Tampa Bay over San Diego
Denver over Carolina
Baltimore over Oakland
Seattle over New York Jets
Dallas over Philadelphia
San Fransisco over St. Louis
Houston over Chicago
Pittsburgh over Kansas City
Well those are the picks. Now for a day of football, frisbee, brothers, and “The Green Mile”. Pretty good!
God Bless and Happy Sunday!
