I am going to use my powers for good.

Okay, this day has been down right scarey.

At lunch my wife and I were talking football. She wanted to know who was playing today and who to root for. It's rare to watch football on Sunday and it not be the Panthers so my wife, who loves the Panthers but really could care less about about the NFL until the playoffs, wanted to know some information about the game she "had" to watch.

During the dicussion I made some predictions. I picked NO over ATL, PHI over NYG, PIT over DAL and BAL over WAS. I also made some predictions about tomorrow's game but more on that in a little while.

Before the games started, I turned the channel to one of the Sunday Ticket Channels and pressed the menu button. (For those who do not know, Direct TV has a interactive menu with Sunday Ticket that gives you scores, standings and stats.) One of the thing I always love to do is take the trivia quiz. For the first time ever I got all five questions correct. Good start to the afternoon.

Then the Falcons and Giants lost. I was so happy. My wife laughed at me and said "Lucky Guesses."

As we were watching the Steelers and Cowboys play I was getting really pissed. I truely hate the Cowboys and throught my luck that helped in my two early game picks had died. Then suddenly the game took a turn and Pittburgh scored a feild goal.

My wife chuckled and said "Too little too late, no way they are going to win this game." I imediately replied and said " Watch, they are going to hold Dallas to a three and out and then score a TD to tie the game."

Sure enough, Pittsburgh did just that. Then before they kicked off I turned to my wife and said "Pittsburgh is going to win the game. Watch, the Steelers are going to get a INT for a TD. Just watch and see."

My wife rolled her eyes and chuckled a litte again. Then it happened. It was like I was in that new Adam Sandler movie and everthing I said was coming true. Steelers get the pick-6 and win the game. My wife could barely take it. She hates it when I am right and even more so when it proves her wrong.

As of right now the Ravens are beating the 'Skins 14-0 at the half.

So hopefully my powers last longer than just this Sunday. If they do, the Panthers will win tomorrow 24-14. DeAngelo will have a spot light game getting close to if not over 200 yards and Peppers will come up big with 3 sacks. That was my prediction at lunch today. So far so good.

    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up. 
    • Walker is a good player and comes from a great defensive minded school but there a questions about him. He could be a superstar or bust.  You trade down and will get a player with similar concerns and you jump into the middle of the second round where there are some good players.  YOU'RE not getting a 1st next year and a 2nd for 8. These mock simulators give you fair value for the most part. I've tried and most counter offers were rejected.  We trade down get a good first round graded player and jump into the middle of 2nd round and not having to wait for 57.  Plus if a stud falls to the late first or early 2nd round we could package 46 and 57 and get him.
