Week 17 NFL Picks - Experts vs. a 4-Year-Old

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.  It all comes down to this.  The four-year-old went .500 last week, but as per usual (I don't know if 'per' is used correctly there, but I like using that word) 8-8 is plenty good enough to pull ahead of the pack in the Cheap Seats Pick 'Em Derby.  As we come down this final stretch, the preschooler has a 1 game lead, but with JDaddy just 3 games out, anyone can win.

And for anyone concerned about how these things are picked, I make my selections before letting the kid make his selections.  And since he can't read yet, he has no idea who I selected.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and enjoy your weekend.  Hopefully early next week the final results will be posted.

Happy New Year!

Week 16 NFL Picks - Experts vs. a Four-Year-Old

I hate to be the bearer of bad news for those of you rooting for the kid, but the wheels are starting to shake a little bit.  There is now a tie atop the leaderboard.  Granted, the leaderboard resembles the AFC West (without the Tebow-ing) but a winner is a winner.  And right now, there are two of us tied for the lead.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.  I'll wish you a happy new year next week.

Week 15 NFL Picks - Experts vs. a 4-Year-Old

After 14 weeks, the kid is right where you would expect him to be, .500.  When someone is picking virtually at random, he should win as much as he loses and that is exactly the case.  The problem is that JDaddy and I are having trouble catching up.  We made up a game last week, but with three weeks to go, we're three games down.  If the 4-year-old has one more good week in him, he could just about turn off the lights.

Fortunately, ESPN gives us a great Monday Night game this week with the Steelers at 49ers.  Those poor guys had to make St. Louis and Seattle look good last week.

Anyway, here is how we stand after 14 weeks.

Week 14 NFL Picks - Experts vs. a 4-Year-Old

Last week was a nice turn of events for me.  It was a rare double digit week for those of us in this contest that are not four years old.  With 10 wins, JDaddy and I move back into a tie for second (also a tie for last, but lets not dwell on that).  The kid edged back closer to .500 which is theoretically where he should end the season since his picks are basically drawn at random.  With just 4 weeks to go we are coming down to the wire.  Can anybody catch him?  Will ESPN even bother to broadcast the Monday Night game?

Last Week
JDaddy: 7-9

Week 12 NFL Predictions - Experts Vs. a 4-Year-Old

Holiday schedules have forced me to hand the reigns over to JDaddy for this week's commentary.  I'm sure you all will be pleased.

And before we give last weeks results and this week's picks, CDog and I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. "Our View From The Cheap Seats" has been read in countries all over the world and we appreciate you taking the time to check us out. We have a great time doing this and would love to hear from you wherever you may be.

We want to give special thanks to our men and women in Uniform, and especially a young PFC and his family now stationed at Ft. Lewis, Washington. I can't give his street name due to national security, but we are sure proud of them.

OK... I am sure it is no surprise, but the kid won again. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result..... This is driving us crazy.

Week 11 NFL Predictions - Experts Vs. a 4-Year-Old

Remember what I wrote about being happy the NBA is locked out?  Well I've changed my mind.  I need my basketball.  There is nothing but hockey and mid-major college football to watch during the week.  I get that the Stars are playing well, and I get that the University of Houston has a great quarterback, but come on.  Do they really count?

As for the Week 10 picks, the 4-year-old won AGAIN.  Unbelievable.  Well, not really unbelievable.  I'm used to it by now.  The big change was for the runner-up.  I had a bad week, and JDaddy went 8-8, which leaves me in 3rd place.  After the bad Week 9 from the kid, I'm still having trouble keeping up.
