For those so inclined, I like to make a few picks. Just for fun! Not to be used with real money you fools!

Mythical Picks – NFL – Weekend of 11/27/11

November 24, 2011 – 11:01 am

In order to get these picks on the street in time for the trifecta of games on Thanksgiving Day, the lines for weekend games will need to be early ones. Whatever; these are only Mythical Picks anyway. And so, I shall begin with a review of last week’s prognostications. I liked the Lions – 7 [...]

The Linfield College Wildcats won their opening round game in the Division III football playoffs last weekend beating Cal Lutheran by a score of 30-27. That brings Linfield’s record for the season to 10-0 and the Wildcats travel cross country this weekend to face Wesley College in Dover Delaware. Wesley record this year is 10-1; [...]

Mythical Picks – NFL – Weekend of 11/20/11

November 18, 2011 – 2:16 pm

I just got an e-mail from #2 son saying that he had purchased the turkey that we will be cooking and eating for Thanksgiving next week. That reminded me that next week’s writing schedule will be severely compressed which also reminded me that I needed to get my butt in gear and do this week’s [...]

November 18, 2011 – 9:48 am

The Linfield College Wildcats ran their season record to 9-0 (6-0 in conference) and guaranteed that they would be Northwest Conference Champion for this year with a 47-14 victory over Lewis and Clark last Saturday. That conference championship guarantees Linfield a spot in the Division III football tournament. The first round of that tournament is [...]

Mythical Picks – NFL – Weekend of 11/13/11

November 11, 2011 – 12:46 pm

The Bible teaches that Jesus brought Lazarus back from the dead after Lazarus had been dead for 4 days. Greek mythology has it that the mythical Phoenix, after living 500 years, builds a nest, climbs in it, ignites itself and the nest reducing itself to ashes – – and then rises anew from the ashes [...]

Mythical Picks – NCAA – Weekend of 11/12/11

November 11, 2011 – 9:48 am

The Linfield College Wildcats needed a fourth quarter rally to beat Whitworth last weekend by a score of 42-38. Linfield managed to block three extra point attempts in this game; I have watched a lot of football for a lot of years and have never seen that. This win moved the Linfield record for the [...]

Mythical Picks – NFL – Weekend of 11/6/11

November 4, 2011 – 11:18 am

Franklin Delano Roosevelt said that December 7, 1941 was a date that will live in infamy. Clearly on a much smaller scale than the events that plunged the US into World War II, my NFL Mythical Picks for last weekend also mark a date destined to live in infamy. As you will soon see, my [...]

With its 56th consecutive winning season in football assured, Linfield’s next objective is to win the Northwest Conference and participate in the Division III football tournament later this year. Menlo’s record [...]

Mythical Picks – NFL – Weekend of 10/30/11

October 28, 2011 – 11:36 am

This should be my last “short week” for doing Mythical Picks until Thanksgiving week – – and for that I guess I should give thanks even if it is a tad early. As per usual, let me start with a review from last week’s picks: I liked the Jets +1.5 against the Chargers. The Jets [...]

Mythical Picks – NCAA – Weekend of 10/29/11

October 27, 2011 – 11:22 am

It is going to be another “early week” for Mythical Picks due to social commitments late this week. Presumably, our calendar will “open up” a bit after this weekend… Last weekend, the Linfield College Wildcats ran their season record to 6-0 with a comfortable 45-7 win over Pacific Lutheran. The Wildcats’ defense led the way [...]
