The SP&AB NFL Picks Recap

Hey there Pros and Bros! As I'm sure you all know, the Super Bowl is fast approaching! As I'm sure even more of you know, we made our picks back in September! Let's see how they panned out!

The Sports Pro:

This guy knows the game. Though a lot of the AFC went chalk, The Sports Pro was able to pick almost the whole AFC save for a Texans misstep (and frankly there were a lot of Texans missteps this year). 

Sports Pro's NFL Playoff Picks!

Hey Pros and Bros! It's that most wonderful time of the year again! It's time for:

That's Right! This is the start of the football season! And what better way to celebrate the start of the season than predicting how it will end! I've got my picks right below! Along with the Average Bro and his worthless opinions chiming in!

Do you agree with us? Super disagree with us? We want your opinion heard! Let us know your take on the 2013 Playoffs by commenting below or tweeting us @ProsandBros! We'll include your picks in our challenge to win prizes at the end of the season!

Well let's get to it already!

NFC

NFC North
Packers: Sure they lack a run game, something that Eddie Lacy won’t fix. Sure they lost Greg Jennings, someone that James Jones can’t replace. And sure their secondary, at times, can be suspect. But they’ve still got the best player in the game in #12 and solid front seven that got to the QB 47 times last season, 4th most in the NFL. It’s a tough division, but I think the Pack cruise to the top, finishing the regular season with 12 wins.

NFC South
Falcons: Matt Ryan comes into his 6th year as starting QB of the Falcons with a regular season home record of 35-5. So, even if they’re terrible on the road this year, they’ll still get 7 home wins. However, the Falcons high powered offense, and above-average defense, should equate to a few more wins than that. At 13-3 the Falcons will dominate the South, earning the top spot in the NFC.


NFC East
Washington: Shanahan can coach, Morris can run, and RGIII can throw. Orakpo is back from his super-scrabble caveman hiatus, and is ready to play. I expect the East, as usual, to be another close division, but with 11 wins the Skins will move on.

Average Bro's Take: I Super Duper agree!

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.
