NFL Predictions

My record is pretty bad, while WFAN radio host, Mike Francesa is clicking at a tremendous seventy percent, (14-6-1) through 7 weeks of NFL predictions.

HIS PICKS, (and mine), for this week follow:

The “chalk” pick that he has lost so much more often than not, is the St. Louis Rams minus 9 points vs the San Francisco 49ers.

I predict Rams 23, 49ers 20

Mr. (at 70 percent, he has earned being called Mister) Francesa picks the New Orleans Saints minus 3 vs the New York Giants. I am not crazy about going against this, as each team is coming off a cover/win, the Saints as underdogs, vs the Colts.

Primarily because I think Mr. Francesa has to start to lose (warning people have gone broke thinking like that. More important, please take this lightly and certainly do not bet any significant amounts, if you have to bet at all), Saints 28, Giants 26.

PS– If Sam Rosen is the Fox broadcaster and I hope he is, as he is actually good, (more likely it is Kenny Albert, and at best he is mediocre, even his dad the great Marv Albert, did not excel at football. However, why oh why, is Marv, still so much better than just about any network football announcer out there, no longer on football telecasts?!) the Giants will win outright.

Last the WFAN host Mike Francesa picked the Minnesota Vikings minus one at Chicago vs the Bears. I believe the Vikings are better and could, even should, be a playoff team.

Yet again mainly to go vs Mr. Francesa, but also because the Bears, though they covered the spread, essentially were robbed of victory at Detroit vs the Lions in their last game two weeks ago, and that “Minne” is on a roll–Bears 17 Vikings 16.
