Fireman Mike’s Fab Five Football Bets - Week 13
Posted by: | Comments
I hope everybody had a better Turkey Day than the Lions, who went down the toilet right after Ndamukong Suh decided to become a WWF bad guy. The Ravens took care of business in the Har-Brawl but we finished 1-2 overall. I took Houston earlier today in what seemed like a trap game but they [...]
Fireman Mike’s Turkey Day Trifecta

After a weekend that included two sister-kissing pushes, we’ll start the rebound with a Thanksgiving Treat. Riding a 5-1 Turkey Day record into the 2011 Holiday Season, and considering every year some type of trend seems to take place -whether it’s all dogs covering, all road teams winning or something of that nature- we’re going [...]

A terrible loss by the Lions combined with a huge mistake by me overlooking the Texans during the week led to a 2-2-1 weekend, bringing us under the 60% mark for the first time in a while. We’ll get back up there though, I promise you that. Somehow I neglected to catch Houston only laynig [...]

As Joe Flacco hung up another floating long ball to Torrey Smith last Sunday Night I could feel all of your breaths being collectively held, not to mention the disappointing four-letter bombs that accompanied Smith’s spike after the touchdown. You weren’t alone fellas, but you won’t be alone cashing in from your book next week [...]

Another winning week of plays keeps us at the 60% mark for the season and improves our overall record to 26-17-2 on the year and the money keeps piling up. Both the Gianst and Razorbacks came out on top during their games last weekend but both played with so little energy they couldn’t pull away [...]

Baltimore pissed the bed on Monday night after Northwestern did the same in the second half on Saturday but another winning week was highlighted by Oklahoma State beating Mizzou by 21-points like we called it. A 3-2 record last week keeps us hoovering above the 60 percent mark for the season with a 23-15-2 overall [...]

Watching South Carolina QB Connor Shaw run into the end zone for a safety last weekend was akin to watching your little sister get de-flowered. You knew it was gonna happen but you were hoping that you weren’t going to be watching when it did or somehow it wouldn’t happen to you. Even with that [...]

Things didn’t turn out too bad last weekend. Even though we started and ended on a bad note we sandwiched it with three big wins in between. We’re still above 60% on the year (17-11-2, 61%) and I’ve told Colin to talk me off the Hokies if I ever get hot on them again this season. [...]

Love him or hate him, he was always in the back of your mind when the silver and black appeared on your screen. Legendary for a number of reasons, both good and bad, Raider owner Al Davis passed away on Friday.
Fittingly, Davis was born on the Fourth of July in 1929 and became on the [...]

Well, that was bullshit! We were a meaningless last second touchdown by Carolina tight end Greg Olson away from another winning weekend after Nebraska and Pittsburgh laid an egg. We still went 2-3 to push our record on the season to 14-9-2, not great but we’ll take it at this point in the season. We’re [...]
