Week 13. Unlucky for some. End of season for others as they see their dreams of a Play Off berth vanish in to thin air like a puff of smoke from a 1956 Ford Anglia.

The Oakland Raiders are enjoying their greatest season in recent memory. Sitting atop the ultra-competitive AFC West with a 9-2 record, the Silver and Black have arguably the best young roster in the league and are proving to be one of the NFL’s most entertaining teams.

The Pro Bowl has become a bit like one of those colds you get every winter, you know it’s going to happen, there’s nothing you can do about it. The best you can do is hope to get through it with as much dignity as possible and hope you don’t...

So it is Thanksgiving week. What am I thankful for? Being able to pick teams that almost entirely shutdown opposing offences for three quarters (OR 56 MINUTES! I’M LOOKING AT YOU JEFF!) before blowing a lead. Anyway, on to this week’s picks.

It’s already got to the time of year when we start to look at next year, particularly because a few teams have very little to look forward to. So, as we start on the road to next season we look at which coaches are likely to get stuck in traffic...

Well that was disappointing, a 2-1 week to actually win for just the third time this year. Regular readers will know that I just don’t do winning. Apologies to those that just use this to pick against. I’ll try to get back on track this week with the 0-3s. I...

As we arrive upon Week 11, this season’s MVP candidates are now coming into full view, so it’s a good time to take a deeper look at some of the favourites for the award to see if they’re truly indispensable, or simply elevated by players around them and generous media coverage.

A boring 0-2-1 last week. Hopefully back to the 0-3s this week. I’ll get on with the picks quickly so you can get on with betting against me.
