Average Bro's Below Average Picks: NFL Week 14

Hey there Sports Pros and Average Bros! Welcome back to another Edition of Average Bro's Below Average Picks.

And boy, oh boy! Did those picks live up to their title or what! The Washington vs. Jets game was close at the end. I actually thought my 3 point line would be spot on! But of course, if there's one thing Washington excels at (even more than personnel decisions and turning good athletes into confused children) it's disppointing people. And was I ever disappointed.


Chicago vs. Kansas City was just a bad pick. But in my defense, Orton only came in for one play (which he threw an incompletion). He was able to stare down Cutler far longer than I thought he'd be able to. That gave it away right there.

And Jaguars vs. Chargers, what was I thinking? I guess I forgot that Blaine Gabbert has all the pocket presence of a peanut butter sandwich. If they didn't have Maurice Jones-Drew, I'm pretty confident the game would have been over at halftime. There new owner would have just decided this was a bad investment and take all of the players and give them jobs at his road making company. It would probably be a good career move for Gabbert.

So I had a few bad picks. It was my first week! We will move on from this and we will be better. Now that I'm established, I can guarantee that these picks will be better than last week. I really hope.

No Time like Tebow Time!

Today's post is written by Guest Bro, Chris Housel.

Tim Tebow doesn’t own a watch, it’s always Tebow Time. This critically bashed Christian Football player has become an absolute phenomenon, only building since the day he got drafted. “Why?” Some people ask, but think about it. He is always looking to run, which is immediately contrasting the fact that he is a white quarterback and most white QB’s are pocket passers. He is extremely open about his religion, he’s a lefty, and he’s a bulldozer. The kid can get Chick-Fil-A on Sundays. Are people jealous? Or can they just not fathom how he can play quarterback and win football games? I think it’s a little bit of both.

Average Bro's Below Average Picks! NFL Week 13

Hey there Sports Pros and Average Bros! Welcome to the new SPAB series: Average Bro's Below Average Picks! This is where I, the Average Bro, delve deep into the week's match-ups and give you my below average picks! Why are the picks below average you might ask? It's because I don't look into a teams success against a certain type of defense or a particular players average yardage. No I use something different, Pointless Made-up stats! That's right, none of the reasoning in this article would seem to affect game play at all. You know how ESPN is big on "Next Level Stats" these days? Well these are more like "Lower Level Stats". You might say, "Hey! What does any of this have to do with the game?" The only answer I can give to that is, I've got a feeling. I've got a feeling about particular match-ups based on what jumps out at me. And let me guarantee, you can take these picks to the bank!*

*(I wouldn't actually take these picks to the bank)

So here we go. We'll keep it brief since Sundays coming up soon. I can't just have this great insight on a whim. Let's start with a game that's very important to me.
