Well, since the playoffs are all but cinched for nearly every division, save for the AFC South and NFC West, this will be the last power rankings of the year. The top 12 teams are your playoff teams, go figure. Well, actually they aren’t. The Rams are not in the top 12 even though they have nearly locked a playoff berth. They don’t even have a winning record. They aren’t better than the teams ahead of them in the rankings.

That being said, I think the Pats held the top spot all but one week, when it went to the Falcons. Even though the Falcons lost this week, they still hold the number two spot, because they won’t falter in the playoffs. Losing at home to the Saints kept the Bucs out of the playoffs, and no matter what you think, that’s a good thing. And yes, I am assuming that the Eagles win tonight.

Last week’s ranking is in those curvy line things that I have to hold down shift to activate. Stay tuned, because tomorrow brings my week 17 picks, the final full pick column of the season. Then, it’s on to the playoffs. Keen!

1. (1) New England Patriots (13-2): If you don’t think you are looking at the AFC Champs right here, then you are probably a Steelers fan. Tom Brady will get another ring.

2. (2) Atlanta Falcons (12-3): The Falcons are flying high, but no matter what, the rival Saints will still pose a threat to their Superbowl aspirations. Either them, or the Bears.

3. (4) New Orleans Saints (11-4): No backsliding into the playoffs for the reigning Superbowl champs. They beat the Falcons to secure their spot. Now, how far can they go?

4. (3) Baltimore Ravens (11-4): A win secures the division and home field advantage, a loss or a Steelers win gives the Steelers the advantage. Can’t rest Flacco this week. That’s a good thing for those of us who tire of week 17 football games being played by the practice squad guys.

5. (6) Chicago Bears (11-4): The Bears have locked the division, but if they lose to the Packers next week, they give the Packers a pretty good chance of making it into the playoffs. So really, they can rest their starters. Which I hate.

6. (12) Pittsburgh Steelers (11-4): They haven’t clinched the division yet, and you know they want it. They should not underestimate the Browns though.

7. (5) Philadelphia Eagles (11-4): Vick is in the playoffs. Is there any other storyline with this team you give a shit about? Didn’t think so.

8. (9) Kansas City Chiefs (10-5): A long drought since the playoffs with this team. Now they are in as a top seed. Good show Chiefs. Good show.

9. (7) New York Jets (10-5): Well, somehow this team that has been lagging offensively is in the playoffs. They won’t last long unless there is some spark they’ve been hiding.

10. (8) New York Giants (9-6): With that loss, the Giants need some serious help to get into the playoffs with a wild-card berth.

11. (14) Green Bay Packers (9-6): Meanwhile, the win over the Giants gives the Packers the upper hand for making the playoffs. They have to beat the Bears first though.

12. (10) Indianapolis Colts (9-6): Uh, the Colts aren’t in the playoffs yet? How’d that happen? They haven’t clinched a playoff spot yet. A win does that. So win Peyton. Win.

13. (11) Jacksonville Jaguars (8-7): A win by the Jags and a loss by the Colts puts the Jags into the playoffs. Frankly, it shouldn’t have come to this for this team. They should already be in.

14. (13) San Diego Chargers (8-7): The Chargers blew it, now they are out of contention. This team should have been so much better than it was.

15. (15) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-6): Ha ha! No playoffs for you Bucs! Suck it! Of course, a loss by both the Packers and Giants and a win by the Bucs does put them into the playoffs, but let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

16. (16) Oakland Raiders (7-8): Did anyone seriously think the Raiders would make the playoffs? Didn’t think so. Think they can finish 8-8?

17. (19) St. Louis Rams (7-8): They still haven’t cinched the division. The Seahawks are still hanging around and could steal it.

18. (18) Miami Dolphins (7-8): See ya Sparano. New coach is going to be Bill Cowher. At least that’s something to look forward to.

19. (17) Tennessee Titans (6-9): Might want to think about drafting a quarterback that isn’t crazy, old, or terrible.

20. (24) Cleveland Browns (5-10): While a winning record isn’t going to happen, the future looks bright for this Browns team. How about playing spoiler for the Steelers? That’d be hot.

21. (21) Seattle Seahawks (6-9): They are still in the running for the division. Can you fathom how terrible this division must be for that scenario to exist?

22. (25) Washington Redskins (6-9): The Redskins season shouldn’t have come as surprise to anyone. This team is a mess, and will remain a mess for years to come.

23. (22) Houston Texans (5-10): The Texans round out the season against the Jags. They could play a major factor in the Jags playoff hopes, because theirs are long gone.

24. (23) San Francisco 49ers (5-10): Team sucks, fire the coach. That’s the formula right?

25. (31) Denver Broncos (4-11): Teeeeeeeeboooowwwwwwww! Teeeeeeeeboooowwwwwwww! Teeeeeeeeboooowwwwwwww! Teeeeeeeeboooowwwwwwww! Teeeeeeeeboooowwwwwwww! Teeeeeeeeboooowwwwwwww! Teeeeeeeeboooowwwwwwww!

26. (27) Detroit Lions (5-10): Thankfully, the Lions aren’t as bad as they could have been. Some good road wins made sure they didn’t end up 3-13.

27. (26) Minnesota Vikings (5-10): Did anyone else pick the Vikings to make the playoffs? What were we thinking? What were we drinking? What were we smoking?

28. (29) Arizona Cardinals (5-10): Don’t fire the coach just yet, but it’s my estimation Derek Anderson will be looking for a new bench to sulk on next season.

29. (20) Dallas Cowboys (5-10): Talk about seeing the collapse of a team built around their Quarterback. That doesn’t say much for the rest of the squad.

30. (30) Cincinnati Bengals (4-11): Awh. How cute, the Bungles played spoiler for the Chargers and kept themselves out of the running for the #1 draft pick. Awh.

31. (28) Buffalo Bills (4-11): At first, I thought maybe the Bills could upset the Pats. Yeah, for a quarter maybe. After that, lights out Bills.

32. (32) Carolina Panthers (2-13): John Fox still has a job why?

Jones-Drew & crew are flying into the playoffs. (Image: AP Photo/Phil Coale)

Another crazy week in football. The season never ceases to excite does it? I mean, we had a roof collapse from snow, a game played in snow in which Brady throws for over 300 yards, and Favre on the sidelines for the first time in 297 starts. Wild.

That being said, there was a little shuffling at the bottom because I can never decide which losing team is actually worse than the one above or below it, save for the Panthers of course. You’ll notice that many losing teams could very well win their division with a below .500 record. If this happens I implore the NFL to seriously consider a rule change. The top 12 teams based on record – period. Letting losers into the playoffs diminishes what it’s all about.

Anyway, last weeks ranking are in the curvy line thingys. If you have any issues with the Power Rankings take it up with your personal deity cause I don’t care.

1. (1) New England Patriots (11-2): Is there any doubt this team is heading back to the Super Bowl? Does Brady have enough fingers for another ring?

2. (2) Atlanta Falcons (11-2): Beating Carolina was too easy for this powerhouse of the NFC. I’m seriously thinking Pats vs. Falcons in the big game at this point.

3. (4) Pittsburgh Steelers (10-3): Slapping around the Bungles was just what the Steelers needed to relax a bit.

4. (6) New Orleans Saints (10-3): The Saints moved up this week, because they are finally playing consistently. Did you Colston? That man can catch the freaking ball!

5. (10) Philadelphia Eagles (9-4): Eagles or the Giants? At this point, it’s going to come down to this week when they play each other. Winner gets the division.

6. (8) New York Giants (9-4): The road to the playoffs goes directly through Philly, though a Wild-Card is all but assured for the NFC North.

7. (7) Baltimore Ravens (9-4): They had to roll into overtime to beat the Texans, and only their defense prevailed. What the hell Ravens?

8. (11) Jacksonville Jaguars (8-5): MJD stepped up and carried the team on his back, keeping them one game ahead of the Colts.

9. (3) Chicago Bears (9-4): Not being able to win at home in the snow, and getting blown out, drops this Bears team down a couple notches.

10. (5) New York Jets (9-4): The Jets looked terrible against the Dolphins. Perhaps that Pats loss really shook this team up.

11. (15) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-5): Still can’t beat a team better than .500. And there is talk of Rahim Morris getting coach of the year? For what? Beating a bunch of losers – barely? Weak.

12. (9) Kansas City Chiefs (8-5): Even with the loss, the Chiefs still retain sole possession of the division lead. Clearly though, one more game without Matt Cassel and they are toast.

13. (14) San Diego Chargers (7-6): The Chargers are climbing. Watch out KC, they are gunning for you.

14. (12) Green Bay Packers (8-5): The loss of Rodgers early in the game to a concussion seemed to knock out the rest of the team. This loss was not what they needed to challenge the Bears.

15. (20) Miami Dolphins (7-6): The win over the Jets might be too little too late for the Dolphins, who would need a bunch of miracles to make the playoffs.

16. (13) St. Louis Rams (6-7): With a losing record the Rams still lead the division. It’s very possible we could see a 7-9 team in the playoffs.

17. (22) Indianapolis Colts (7-6): The Colts win over the Titans was huge. It put the Titans out of contention, and put the Colts right back in the hunt.

18. (16) Oakland Raiders (6-7): The Raiders have been scrappy all year long. Sadly, scrappy doesn’t get banners hung in your stadium.

19. (18) Seattle Seahawks (6-7): The Hawks could usurp the Rams for the division lead, which based on their record is just plain depressing.

20. (25) Houston Texans (5-8): They pushed the Ravens to overtime, and the defense did their part – sadly the offense didn’t do theirs.

21. (26) San Francisco 49ers (5-8): A big win for the Niners leaves us all wondering which crappy team will take the NFC West.

22. (19) Tennessee Titans (5-8): The Titans are now out of earshot for the division or anything resembling a winning season.

23. (21) Dallas Cowboys (4-9): For a second there, I thought the Cowboys were going to win the game against the Eagles, then they didn’t.

24. (17) Cleveland Browns (5-8): Jake Delhomme does not win football games anymore. The Browns have all but given up if they keep starting him.

25. (23) Washington Redskins (5-8): This team makes other teams on the field play just as shitty as they do. Too bad it didn’t help them to a win.

26. (24) Minnesota Vikings (5-8): Favre is done and Tavaris Jackson is terrible. The roof collapse was the coolest thing to see happen in Minnesota all year.

27. (29) Arizona Cardinals (4-9): Mathematically, they could take the division. In reality, there is not a chance in hell.

28. (27) Detroit Lions (3-10): Nice win over the Packers. They did it with strong defense and knocking out the QB. At this point though, who cares?

29. (28) Buffalo Bills (3-10): They had to play hard all four quarters to beat the falling Browns. At least they’re not the Panthers.

30. (31) Denver Broncos (3-10): The Broncos got smoked by the Cardinals. When do the Tim Tebow chants start?

31. (30) Cincinnati Bengals (2-11): The Bungles… what else needs to be said?

32. (32) Carolina Panthers (1-12): Are they getting worse? They are already looking at the draft boards.

The Digital Dads NFL Pre-Game: Week 12

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

Will Greg Jennings be leaping this week against the Falcons? (Image: UPI/Brian Kersey)

Wow. I went 12-4 (92-69 on the season) last week and I would have went 14-2 had I not picked emotionally against the Bucs and the Cowboys. I can’t help it. I refuse to pick those teams no matter how it affects my stats. At least I’ve gotten the hang of picking the Broncos, who are on the suck list. Admittedly, at this point in the season it gets a bit easier to pick games. To a point, I mean, I did go 5-9 in Week 10.

Well, it’s Week 12, and for those of you who are lamenting the end of the season wait until you see the slate of games on tap for this week. We of course have our perennial stinkers at Dallas and Detroit on Turkey Day, along with an additional Thursday night game that isn’t too bad, then the weekend offers up some great match-ups that will surely test the mettle of many teams.

There are a lot of questions on the minds of football fans going into Week 12. Is Matt Ryan really the best QB in the league? Is Brett Favre going to retire? Is Randy Moss going to run a competent pattern and not look so sad? Can the Bungles get top dollar for Ochocinco and T.O. at the end of the season? There are no real good answers to all these questions except “yes.” Yes, all that will happen. Or it might not. What do I look like to you? An 8-ball? Give me a break. I’m just a loon writing a loosely crafted NFL column. Sheesh. On to Week 12!

Featured Game:

Green Bay at Atlanta Line: -2.0
The battle for NFC supremacy starts here. This could very well be the NFC championship game this year. The football gods are kind by giving us this game a couple weeks early. The high scoring Green Bay offense against the stingy & sometimes rude Atlanta secondary. This game is going to come down to run defense, and I think Atlanta has the better run defense. This could pose a problem for the Packers, who have solidified themselves as a strong passing team, their running game falling just enough behind that a strong run defense could really affect the play action portions of the playbook. I’m hoping for a nice high scoring affair, with both teams swapping touchdowns until the very end. This game is going to come down to mistakes made, but both of these teams lead the league in forcing & recovering turnovers. This is the Ali / Frazier game of the year. But, I have to pick a winner. Since the Falcons are at home, no, shit. I have no idea. This is really a tough one. Packers in final play comeback win dramatic fashion. It’s the only way.

Tailgate City (The Rest):

New England at Detroit Line: +7.0
Seven? The line is only at seven? Are you kidding me? The Patriots spanked the Colts last week, on offense and on defense. If Peyton and crew couldn’t compete, what makes anyone think the Lions have a chance against this Patriots team? The Lions at this point are just a worn down speed bump on the road to the playoffs for a team like the Patriots. Patriots on the road easy. Though the Lions might put up a bit of a fight.

New Orleans at Dallas Line: +4.0
The Saints are right back where they are supposed to be – winning with flair. The Cowboys are where no one thought they’d be. On their second coach of the year with Jon Kitna at the helm. Did you see his shit eating grin during the pistol whipping of his former team last week? Well, reverse that grin and replace it with frustration. That’s what he’s going to have passing into the Saints secondary. Aside from easily predicting a Saints road win here, I’m also going to say that Dallas turns the ball over no less than three times.

Cincinnati at NY Jets Line: -9.0
The Bungles played a good first half of football against the sunk Bills. Then they went into the locker room. I have no idea what happened in there, but they came out and gave the game away in more ways than one. The defense fell apart, while Palmer was off target the rest of the game for the most part. The crowd was right to be showering them with boos by the fourth quarter. The Jets pulled off another close win, proving – nothing. They are getting lucky and that will fail them when they come back to divisional play. However, this week they get the Bungles at home, so I’m predicting a win to stay even with the Patriots.

Pittsburgh at Buffalo Line: +6.5
Whoa, the Bills were the highest scoring team last week. Of course, they were playing the aforementioned Bungles, whose defense could have given up 200 yards to a monkey with a bag of candy corn. Fred Jackson, while still a very good runner, is going to have a hell of a time against the Steelers front four. The key to Buffalo even staying in this game is how their offensive line plays. In order for Fitzpatrick to even have a chance throwing the ball, they are going to have to open up the play action – and that means running. I wouldn’t count on it. It’d be nice to say that the Bills have a chance, but they don’t. Steelers with the win on the road.

Carolina at Cleveland Line: -0.0
The Browns pulled off another close – loss. This team comes so close and just can’t hold it together in the end. What happened last week? It’s easy. They were ahead and went into a prevent defense. Know what a prevent defense is good for? Preventing you from winning! They gave the Jags too much field, and didn’t keep up the pocket pressure that up until that point kept Maurice Jones-Drew and Garrard mostly silent. Which is why the Panthers might have a chance to stay in this game. They are outmatched, and it’s possible that McCoy could be sitting with a sprained ankle, but it won’t matter. The Panthers are playing with a QB called up from his couch a couple weeks ago. They are done. Cleveland to win at home.

Jacksonville at NY Giants Line: -7.5 UPSET SPECIAL!!
You know what, the Jags have gotten lucky. Or have they? Sure, that heave-ho against the Texans was luck, but then they did it again against the Browns as well. Just coming back at the last second to take the game. So is it luck or is it the defense stepping up late to give the offense a chance? Well sure, why not? This week they travel to visit the Giants, who are a confused little team. They got absolutely worked by the Eagles, losing the division lead. Will they rebound and trounce the Jags? I don’t think so. When this team gets down on themselves, they play like absolute shit. I’m taking the Jags to upset on the road.

Minnesota at Washington Line: -2.0
Sigh. The Vikings insist that Favre will be their starter this weekend as they travel to Washington to take on the Redskins. Are you kidding me Vikings? Look, Favre has had a fantastic – nay, legendary – career but it’s time to just admit the guy cannot carry a team like he used to. Or lets put it another way, if the offensive line is incapable of collapsing in on itself there is no way he can succeed. You’ve lost the division, there is no hope for the playoffs. It’s time to ween your next generation of QB. Don’t doom Jackson to be a perennial back-up, the kid can get better if you give him a chance. Meanwhile, the Redskins are coming off a strong win against the Titans. Sure, they were facing who-dat Rusty Smith, but still – they won. And that’s what counts. I expect them to carry some of that momentum against the struggling Vikings. Redskins to win at home.

Tennessee at Houston Line: -0.0
Oh how far the mighty have fallen. The Texans have the number one rusher in the league in Adrian Foster. He’s also scored the most touchdowns in the league – yet – the Texans are hugging the bottom of the division. They have some company in the Titans though, who are now without Vince Young, Kerry Collins was pushed to emergency back-up and rookie Rusty Smith from Florida Mid-Atlantic is taking the snaps. Chris Johnson has not been the destructive force he’s been in the past and while the Titans started off with one of the strongest defenses in the league, have slowed down a lot. Which is why I’m taking the Texans to win at home this weekend.

Miami at Oakland Line: -0.0
What were your expectations for these two teams? I expected the Dolphins to be much better than they are, but a shaky passing offense that never found it’s rhythm and a constant quarterback problem has destined this team to once again miss the playoffs. The Raiders, well, what do you think I expected them to do? Lose of course. And now they are. That loss to the Steelers last week should put them out of the winners circle – but will it? This is a scrappy team that is getting it done as best they can and the benefits of a sub-par division give them a strong chance at the playoffs. This is a must win for the Raiders, and apologies once again to King Digital Dad CC Chapman, but the Raiders will win this game.

Kansas City at Seattle Line: +1.0
The Chiefs won again last week, are 5-0 at home but 1-4 on the road. Do stats like that matter a bit? We’ll see this week as they travel to the great rainy north to face off against the 5-5 Seahawks. The Hawks are far from out of it thanks once again to being in a crummy division. In fact, they lead the division. They could very well make the playoffs with a losing record. It’s very possible. That doesn’t bode well for the state of the NFC. It’s not going to bode well for the Seahawks when they lose to the Chiefs this weekend.

Philadelphia at Chicago Line: +3.5
This is a tough one. Really, it is. If there is one team in the league I would think that has a chance at containing Vick. The Redskins couldn’t do it, the Giants couldn’t do it so can the Bears do it? It’s not like this kind of play from Vick is a surprise to anyone, he did it when he was with the Falcons. Containing Vick is the first priority for the Bears, everything else after that point is secondary. The Eagles defense gives just enough up for the Bears to take advantage, but they absolutely have to contain Vick. That means corner blitzes with a spy, or some sort of contain. Well, there really is no cure. However, I’m going to go out on a limb and predict the Bears to somehow eke out a win this weekend.

St. Louis at Denver Line: -5.0
This would be the crapfest of the week if not for the Rams still having quite a good shot at winning their division. This game is another of those must-win games this week. Bradford has been having a pretty good rookie season, the most important factor is that he’s still standing after 11 weeks of getting roughed up by opponents defenses. The Broncos are nothing without Shanahan, and since he’s moved on this team has just sunk. Yes, they did okay last year but this year – when they were supposed to be better – they weren’t. Orton just looks unhappy to be there. I’m taking the Rams to upset on the road.

Tampa Bay at Baltimore Line: -7.5
Here’s the test for the Bucs – beat a team with a winning record. They have not done so yet, hell they haven’t played but two teams with winning records and lost both times (obviously.) The Ravens are a hell of team to try to prove your mettle against. Aside from my heartfelt dislike for the Bucs, I really don’t think they stand a chance on the road against the Ravens. The defense will be too strong for them, and their defense just won’t be good enough. I think their loss against the Steelers showed us that. Taking the Ravens to win at home.

San Diego at Indianapolis Line: -3.0
How about the Chargers on Monday night against the Broncos? Was it the Broncos crappy pass defense that let Rivers go for 233 yards and four touchdowns? Or perhaps it was just Rivers playing like he’s supposed to be playing. On the flip side, the Colts performed just the opposite, Peyton playing like he’s not supposed to be playing at all. This could be an interesting game, just because both teams are on a different type of rebound. The difference maker in this game is going to be the pass defense – obviously. It’s tough to really look at this game from the outside and think that either team is that much better than the other one. Considering this is a must-win for the Chargers (there are a lot of those this week for sure) I’m going to take the Colts to win. They are playing at home. How can they not?

San Francisco at Arizona Line: +2.5 CRAPFEST OF THE WEEK!!
Eh. Who cares?

Well on behalf of all of us here at Digital Dads – have a freaking awesome Thanksgiving. Eat until your belt bursts, watch football, play football, drink beer and deep fry turkeys. If you feel like blowing up half rotten pumpkins in the backyard, go for it. It’s the holiday. Blowing things up should be a tradition, and is a tradition. Boom. See ya Week 13.

The Digital Dads NFL Pre-Game: Week 8

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

The Jets Flight Crew will be cheering this weekend.

This week I have no choice but to lead with gloating about picking the Cleveland Browns to upset the Saints last week. They turned the spread 180 and beat the Saints in the Superdome thanks to great defensive play. The Madden curse is in full effect with Drew Brees, never more evident than moments after last weeks game when he realized he lost at home to the Browns.

That aside, or including that, I went 10-4 on the week (62-42 on the year.) That’s pretty damn sweet. I should have put some money down. While I got my upset pick right, my crapfest right, I was once again wrong about the Broncos. Fuck you Denver. I’m tired of your shit. Do what I say! Also, the Bills were very surprising last week with their almost victory over the Ravens. I predicted them to lose 34-0 in that game, but they scored 34 and nearly won. It came down to a coin toss. I freaking hate that. They need to institute college rules overtime. Each team gets a chance to score.

So that’s last week. This week, there are some fun match-ups and a game on the other side of the Atlantic (featuring the Broncos.) Week 8 marks the halfway point of the season, so you can go ahead and make your mid-season playoff picks now. For now, here’s my Week 8 picks.

Featured Game:

Green Bay at NY Jets Line: -6.0
The Jets are the best team in the AFC, if not the best team in football. They got last week off, while the Packers got to once again beat the Vikings at home. This game will be good for two reasons. One, to see how Rodgers plays against a very aggressive pass defense and pass rush. Two, to see how the Jets play against a tough run defense and tough pass offense. It’s very interesting, because this could very well be the Superbowl this year. The Jets, Titans or Steelers will be playing the Packers in the Superbowl. At this point I’d be looking at the Jets, but later in the column I’ll say the Titans just because I like to contradict myself. This should be a great game, on both sides of the ball. It’s going to come down to the turnover game to determine the outcome of this one. That being said, taking the Jets at home.

Tailgate City (The Rest):

Miami at Cincinnati Line: -2.0
Man the Dolphins almost pulled it off last week against the Steelers. It was close, what with that late game non fumble fumble. I don’t think the Dolphins would have retained possession anyway. Somehow Henne went for over 250 yards against the Steelers defense, which makes sense since they were spending most of their time protecting the run. This week, the Dolphins hit the road to face the Bengals, who fought hard against the Falcons last week. You know, Palmer is one hell of a QB, but he’s faced with scrambling behind an offensive line that routinely falls apart. How will he fare against the Dolphins pass rush? I’m thinking the Bengals will pull off a close one at home.

Jacksonville at Dallas Line: -6.5
Romo is out. Fractured his left clavicle which brought Jon Kitna into the game. Remember Kitna? The Cowboys haven’t been this bad (1-5) since the first year Jerry Jones bought the team. How they are favored this week is beyond me, but the Jags are no shining stars either. 38 year old Todd Bouman is taking the snaps, and it was a mistake that led to a blowout last week against the Chiefs. The Jags are lacking on pass and rush defense, and I wouldn’t count on their offense to dig them out of a hole. Once they fall behind, they’ll stay behind. Taking the Cowboys at home.

Washington at Detroit Line: -2.5
Even though the Redskins handled the Bears last week in a terrible game (nine turnovers between the two teams) they are still the underdog coming into Detroit. The Lions are coming off a bye week which will only help their cause as a future winning team. They won’t have a winning record this year, but they’ll get close if they can start winning. I don’t think that the Redskins are going to be able to contain Best and their special team defense isn’t that great. The Lions have some speed and could very well burn out the Redskins in this game. I’m taking the Lions at home, another home pick.

Buffalo at Kansas City Line: -8.0
Buffalo shocked all us detractors last week with their near win in Baltimore. I’m guessing they must be reading this column, with me extolling how much they absolutely suck. While their defense was very giving, their offense made up the difference. Matt Cassel has been consistently impressive this season, plus, do any of you have Thomas Jones on your fantasy team? He’s been on fire lately. With that tandem, there is no way the Buffalo defense will be able to hold the game close. Look for Buffalo to come out hot, but fizzle in the end. No overtime for them this week, this game should be decided by the third quarter. Chiefs at home.

Carolina at St. Louis Line: -3.0
The Panthers got their first week last week against the struggling Niners. The Rams aren’t struggling. They aren’t doing fantastic either, and losing to the Bucs last week didn’t help their case, but they are getting much better. The defense for the Rams has been improving every week, actually looking impressive. The Panthers, suck. Which is odd for an NFC South team, which usually boasts tough defenses. I’m looking at the Rams to make a statement this week, that they can beat crappy teams at home. Still, any given Sunday, but I’m still taking the Rams.

Denver at San Francisco Line: -0.0 Crapfest of the Week!
This game takes us to the sunny shores of London. Well, the rain filled shores of London. Frankly, I don’t know why we bother. They like soccer, we like football, get over it. The reason this is my crapfest is that the London games are never good. The jet lag shows on the players, and the fact that this is a regular season game out of the country is a joke. This game should not count against or for any records and should be treated as an exhibition game. So I’m taking a null pick. Broncos have made sure they don’t agree with me at all, like a bad taco, and the Niners are iffy week to week. The only thing that would make me pick the Niners at all would be Troy Smith starting and playing with his childhood friend Ted Ginn Jr. However, null pick.

Tennessee at San Diego Line: -3.5
Kenny Britt, 225 yards and 3 TD’s. That’s a freaking career day for sure. All this thanks to the accuracy of Kerry Collins. The Titans defense is stifling right now, their offense is on fire with both the run and the pass. This is your AFC Superbowl team (providing they don’t lose to the Steelers in the playoffs again.) My advice, leave Young on the bench for now until Collins screws up. They have the rhythm going. The Chargers however, don’t. They’ve been a disappointment this year, and their loss to the Pats last week was terribly sad because it came down to a missed field goal. I’m taking the Titans to win on the road.

Seattle at Oakland Line: -3.0
Wow. Did anyone else watch Oakland land 59 points on the hapless Broncos last week? Where the hell did that team come from? Jason Campbell came in as the backup and led his team, along with McFadden’s 4 TD’s, to a major victory. Everyone got a chance at the ball, and the defense – the defense, in Oakland – freaking killed it. A major surprise, so the question is, can they keep it up? They are favored against the Seahawks, who are once again flying under the radar but quietly holding sole first place in the NFC West. I’m taking the Hawks to win, to bring the Raiders back down to Earth. I know, we’d like to think the Oakland Raiders can dominate once again, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Minnesota at New England Line: -4.0
Will Favre start? Word on the street is that his ankle problem is a bit glorified and it’s mostly his feelings that are hurt. Well, he’s not going to be in a good mood tonight if he starts against the Patriots. Feeling good are Tom Brady and company after taking out the trash in San Diego. Ok, that was harsh. The Vikings aren’t living up to expectations this year at all. Adrian Peterson can’t carry the team, and hasn’t been carrying the team. When Favre is on, he’s on but he hasn’t been on this year. Brady has been his normal Brady self, and the Patriots defense has been mediocre, but good enough to give the offense and Belichick time to trick the other team into losing. Pats at home.

Tampa Bay at Arizona Line: -3.0
I still hate the Bucs and they got lucky in that crappy game against the Rams last week. One thing I can say is that the Freeman to Winslow connection is starting to look pretty good. If they can work on that, since their defense is no longer the dominant force it once was, then they can continue their winning ways. The Cardinals, a short time ago the NFC representatives in the Superbowl are sitting in a mediocre division watching the Seahawks pull away. QB trouble is clearly plaguing this team, with Max Hall not too much better than Derek Anderson this year. Those inconsistencies plus the high turnover ratio is killing this team. However, I refuse to pick the Bucs, so taking Arizona at home.

Pittsburgh at New Orleans Line: +1.0
The Saints are the only home team not favored this week. If you think the Saints struggled against the Browns defense, wait until they face the Steelers defense. Brees surely wants a bounce back, but this week ain’t gonna be it. The Steelers are going to destroy the Saints at home. They are vulnerable right now, Brees is clearly not himself and the Saints offense is not surprising anyone with their tricks anymore. They are losing the turnover game, they are just playing like a normal NFC team with normal problems. The things is, they are the defending Superbowl champions and have no major injury issues. The Steelers, are playing just like we expect them to be playing. Easy road win pick for the Steelers.

Houston at Indianapolis Line: -5.5 Upset Special!!
And the final game of the mid-season rampage is this divisional match-up. The Texans are setting their sights on the playoffs. Can they make it? Beating the Colts twice in one season would be a great start to the playoff hunt. Both teams got to relax this past weekend, and a Monday night game means even more time to run plays and get a solid game plan. Look for Manning to come out quick against the Houston defense to try to catch them before they get warmed up. However, in the end I’m thinking the Texans will prevail with the upset.

That’s it. Now I’m all depressed. The season is half over, and that means the college season is even closer to being over. I’m too depressed to write more words. I’m gonna go drink a six pack of PBR and watch NFL Tonight.

Super Bowl Winning Beef Short Ribs

Saturday, September 25th, 2010

Greetings, I’m PJ Mullen and I’m honored to be the newest contributor here at Digital Dads. I am a stay at home dad to two, a husband, amateur chef and prolific air drummer. I’ll be coming to you each Thursday talking about being a dad and, of course, food, which I believe is the great connector.

With the football season in full swing I thought I’d kick things off with something that can be prepared in advance and cooked while you’re busy watching your favorite team. By the time you’re ready to celebrate victory (or drown your sorrows) with beefy goodness, these short ribs will be ready to serve.

Since my college days the Super Bowl has been a holiday for a close group of my friends. Some of my fraternity brothers have been running an annual “Big Sangwich” competition since before I was initiated. I was fortunate enough to join the fray after becoming a brother.

Over the years between job changes, moving in and out of the Boston area, marriages and kids we’ve tried to stick as close as we can to maintaining our tradition. However, one year we deviated from the plan as we sought out a more rustic menu that ultimately included a braised beef short ribs that I had been testing.

There is something magical about transforming an inexpensive cut of meat into one of the most delicious things you’ve ever tasted in your life. They fall right off the bone and the braising liquid is easily reduced into a sauce that would taste good on a car bumper.

This dish is so powerful that I even taught my wife’s best friend how to make them for a guy she had just started dating. While I would never be so bold as to imply these short ribs have other worldly powers, let’s just say they are already talking marriage. Yeah, they are that good.

Serve these up at your next Super Bowl party and just watch as your friends petition the NFL to rename the Lombardi after you.

Braised Beef Short Ribs

Ingredients

1 large sweet or yellow onion, chopped roughly
2-3 celery stalks, chopped
2-3 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
1 large leek, washed and chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, smashed
1 ginger root, peeled and sliced
1-2 lemongrass stalks, crushed and chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3-4 pounds beef short ribs
Salt, pepper to taste
All purpose flour (to coat short ribs)
Olive oil
1 cup beef broth or stock
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
½ bottle of red wine (Barolo or Merlot are nice options)

Directions

  • Unpack, wash and pat dry the short ribs
  • Apply salt, pepper and coat lightly with flour to the ribs and set aside until they reach room temperature
  • Chop all the aromatics, set aside
  • Add oil to a heavy bottomed pan (if using a slow cooker) or dutch oven
  • When the oil is heated sear the short ribs in batches, set aside
  • Add all of the aromatics to the pan or dutch oven when finished searing ribs
  • Season with salt and pepper, add additional olive oil, if necessary
  • When the aromatics are translucent, about five minutes, add tomato paste
  • Add half of the beef broth to thin out the aromatic and tomato paste mixture
  • Add the brown sugar and cook for another three to five minutes
  • If using a dutch oven, add the short ribs back and any juices
  • If using a slow cooker, add the short ribs and the pan full of aromatics to the slow cooker
  • Add the remaining beef broth, crushed tomatoes and red wine
  • If using a dutch oven, bring contents to a rolling simmer on high and transfer to a 350 degree oven for three hours
  • If using a slow cooker, set the timer for six hours

Braising Liquid

When the short ribs are finished cooking ladle about half of the braising liquid into a fat separator or a large measuring cup and strain off the fat. Put the strained braising liquid into a 2 or 3 quart saucepan and turn the heat to high. Reduce the braising liquid by half to two thirds depending on how thick of a sauce you prefer. Depending on your stove this could take thirty to forty five minutes. Alternatively, to shorten the time to completing the sauce you can add a cornstarch slurry (1 part cornstarch/4 parts water) to the reducing braising liquid to thicken it up faster.

Presentation

Whenever I make these short ribs I like to serve them piled high on some Parmesan herb polenta. The creaminess of the polenta provides a nice canvas for the short ribs and the rich sauce.

If you’re feeling adventurous and have any leftovers (inconceivable!), you can try your hand at my braised short rib ravioli recipe. They are actually much easier than they sound and, if you’ve got a Italian specialty store near you that sells fresh pasta, you can buy pasta sheets as a short cut to reduce prep time.

If you give this, or anything else here, a try we’d love for you to drop us a comment and tell us how you liked it, or what you did differently to suit your tastes.

NFL Preview: AFC Predictions

Monday, August 30th, 2010
Hey! Those two snowflakes are the same!

Can Brady stay healthy enough to propel the Pats into the Post-season?

I don’t know if you’ve all noticed, but the NFL season is just about upon us. It’s descending quicker than the housing market in central Florida. Alright, that metaphor might be a bit of a stretch, but it’s almost here. So that means it’s time for some vague and most likely incorrect assumptions about the upcoming season, but as an NFL fans, we’re all Monday Morning Quarterbacks. Without further fanfare, this week I’ll take a look at the AFC, starting with the AFC North.

AFC North

Cleveland Browns Last Season: 5-11 As a Browns fan myself I can say this, at least we’re not the Rams. Finishing with five wins last year was actually a plus for the Browns. Like I said, not the Rams. However, now that the Browns have cleared out Derek Andersen and Brady Quinn for now veteran Jake Delhomme – wait, did I type that right? The Browns dumped Brady Quinn, a young arm yet to prove himself to start Jake Delhomme, who is clearly on the tail end of his career. Not just content with the aging Delhomme (who has actually looked good in preseason) they also picked up Senaca Wallace to back him up. The only really good news is having Mike Holmgren in the front office. Perhaps the Browns will win six this year. I can say this for them, they have a hell of a receiver core. Predicted Finish: 6-10

Pittsburgh Steelers Last Season: 9-7 Strong defense has always been the crux of this team. This year, with Rothlesberger and Holmes out of the picture for a bit, the defense is going to have to work even harder to support Byron Leftwich & Charlie Batch. I don’t think a 9-7 finish is going to be hard to believe, but that’s going to depend on how they play within the division. The AFC North plays the NFC South this year in out of conference games, at least one against the hapless Buccaneers. Of course, the Browns play the Bucs too, who won’t seem as hapless. Predicted Finish: 9-7

Cincinatti Bengals Last Season: 10-6 Wait, the Bengals made the playoffs last year? I must have missed it. I was watching Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch. Aside from Ochocinco, both Terrell Owens and Dhani Jones have television shows. Will this kind of selling out assist in a distraction from the field? Perhaps. The Bengals already wasted two million on T.O. The Bengals season will be decided in Week One when they face the Jets, who spanked them in their last two games of the season last year, including a playoff loss. There is too much indivdual ego on this team for them to succeed this year. Predicted Finish: 8-8

Baltimore Ravens Last Season: 9-7 A wild-card appearance last season was all the Ravens really could have hoped for. With young gunslinging Joe Flacco at the helm and a competent defense, the Ravens will pose a serious threat in the division and around the AFC in general. With the Steelers hurting, the Browns being well, the Browns, the Bengals are the only reason to take pause when predicting the Ravens will easily take this division. Even though Suggs is gearing up to be a high dollar bust, the addition of Boldin will bolster the long pass threat. Look for the Ravens to top the AFC North for the whole year. Predicted Finish: 12-4

AFC East

Miami Dolphins Last Season: 7-9 The Dolphins were the most exciting team to watch last year. The continuation of the wildcat, the dual running back power of Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, the explosiveness of Ted Ginn Jr. finally coming out of his shell made for a hell of a season. Sadly, it wasn’t enough for the Dolphins. This year, it’s going to be more than enough. Clearly the trick play stuff isn’t going to work as much anymore, but this is a team that looks like they are having fun. If the defense can hold when they get a lead, the Dolphins will see the playoffs this year. Predicted Finish: 10-6

New England Patriots Last Season: 10-6 Go ahead, name Tom Brady’s back-up. I bet you can’t. Looking at the depth chart it’s Brian Hoyer. He got some action last year in their 59-0 win over the Titans. While the Patriots made the playoffs, they weren’t convincing doing so. This year Bill Belichick will be running the team as head coach, the offense as offensive coordinator and the defense as defensive coordinator. Can you say power trip? With his Napoleanic behavior and resting the team and the season on the health of Tom Brady, the Patriots are setting themselves up for a possible let down. Predicted Finish: 7-9

New York Jets Last Season: 9-7 The move to bring in LaDainian Tomlinson could go one of two ways. He could completely explode on the scene in New York and propel the Jets through the season, or he could simply look tired and lost, a la Emmitt Smith in Arizona. Sadly, I predict the latter. Letting Thomas Jones go, who still has gas left in his tank, could come back to hurt the running game of the Jets. But their strength lies in a speedy and capable secondary. This is going to be another tough test for Mark Sanchez, who led his team to the playoffs lost year. I predict the same for this year. Predicted Finish: 10-6

Buffalo Bills Last Season: 6-10 The Bills have turned into the gray cloud that covers the city of Buffalo in the winter. Last year coach Dick Jauron seemed to give up sometime after halftime every game, and the team felt it. Perhaps with new coach Chan Gailey the Bills won’t actually look like losers as they lose. Trent Edwards is not the winning quarterback that the Bills need to succeed. Look for Ryan Fitzpatrick to step in probably before mid-season. The offense will rest on the back of downhill runners Fred Jackson & Marshawn Lynch, but the major questions will be with the offensive line – can they protect at all? Predicted Finish: 6-10

AFC South

Indianapolis Colts Last Season: 14-2 Really, what else needs to be said about this team? The only reason they missed the playoffs was taking it too easy the last two games and taking acceptable losses. It made Peyton and crew rusty. There was a lot of finger pointing after the playoff loss, let’s hope they are over that by the time the season starts. Peyton is just getting started in his hall of fame career as far as I’m concerned. I’m giving them one extra loss in the hopes that the Texans take one from them. Predicted Finish: 13-3

Houston Texans Last Season: 9-7 The Texans had the number one passing game last year. Did you hear that right? Not Manning and the Colts, not the Saints – the Texans. So what happened? How come they weren’t in the middle of the lunch room with the cool kids? It was two losses to the Colts. Just one win against their interdivisional rival could change the course of this teams season, this is that season for that to happen. It has to happen. The Texans will never reach the playoffs until they get Peyton’s monkey off their back. Predicted Finish: 10-6

Tennessee Titans Last Season: 8-8 Now that Vince Young has learned how to play football again (mostly mentally) and Chris Johnson has solidified his place as the premier running back in the league, the Titans are the team to beat in the AFC. Hell, the Titans will be the team to beat in all of the NFL. Coach Jeff Fisher, who has been around since the Oilers days, is consistent and passionate about his team and the game. This is why even at 8-8 last year, the Titans looked like winners. The only question this year is the defense, which seems to be a trend with a lot of AFC teams. If they come strong, the Titans finish strong. Predicted Finish: 12-4

Jacksonville Jaguars Last Season: 7-9 There is still a team in Jacksonville? Someone needs to tell the residents of the city. Failing to get a sell-out last year – at all – the Jaguars still had a winning home record. Too bad the rest of the games count. They just look like a tired team all around as the season progresses. They put up a fight against the Colts every time, but it’s never enough. Predicted Finish: 6-10

AFC West

Denver Broncos Last Season: 8-8 What the hell is going on in Denver? They ditched a perrenial winner in Mike Shanahan last year for newbie Josh McDaniels. His break even finish is nothing impressive. Jay Cutler, who wasn’t at all terrible was shown the door and now they are sitting with unproven Brady Quinn, injured Elvis Dumervil and most popular draft choice Tim Tebow. Thankfully, the system of producing amazing running backs is still in place, right? Wait, that was under Shanahan. Does McDaniels have the offensive fortitude to make this year any different than last? Will Tebow be the deciding factor? If he plays. This is a team that it’s easy to say, same as last year. Predicted Finish: 8-8

San Diego Chargers Last Season: 13-3 What happens to Philip Rivers and crew when the playoffs come around? Rivers has shades of greatness during the regular season, but fizzles in the post season. The Chargers seem to think they are untouchable going into the post season, but then lose any aggressiveness they might have had. This year you can probably expect more of the same, Norv Turner seems to be okay with that trend. Predicted Finish: 12-4

Kansas City Chiefs Last Season: 4-12 Only the Lions had a worse defense last year than the Chiefs. That’s not very inspirational. This year the team is stacked with brain power courtesy of the Patriots. Romeo Crennel, Charlie Weis and Scott Pioli are on the sidelines, shouting into the helmet of Matt Cassel, the impressive back-up to Tom Brady last year. Forget about the horrid defense for a second, what about the offense? What the hell, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and throw in one more win than last year. Predicted Finish: 5-11

Oakland Raiders Last Season: 5-11 What do you want me to say here? The Raiders are season after season of suck. They dumped JaMarcus Russell after he was tortured behind a crappy line. Now they brought in Jason Campbell to be tortured behind a crappy line. I think moving the Raiders to Los Angeles might be something the Raiders franchise might want to consider. Or switching to the Arena League. Predicted Finish: 4-12

So, if you missed it, my rundown for the playoffs:

AFC North: Ravens
AFC East: Jets
AFC West: Chargers
AFC South: Colts
Wild Cards: Titans, Dolphins

Thanks to C.C. and the Digital Dads for giving me a reason to watch NFL Tonight every night so I can write a weekly NFL column and stay tuned next week for my annual NFC Preview!

Madden 11 Preview

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

All of us here at Digital Dads love video games. Some of us are more hard core gamers (Clarence) then the casual type (me). But, one game we all love and grew up playing is Madden Football from EA Sports.

So yesterday when the demo version of Madden 11 came out for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 we had to download it immediately.

I still think that every August, there should be a holiday dedicated to the release of the newest Madden. But, for some reason the Government hasn’t stepped up and made that a reality yet. *grin*

As I fired up the demo and saw that familiar “EA Sports…It’s in the game” logo and voice come up I couldn’t contain my excitement. It did feel a little weird playing alone since my son is at camp this week and he usually would be right there playing against me, but I couldn’t wait a week.

One warning for the die hard NFL fan though. Depending on who you are a fan of (I’m a life long, die hard, Miami Dolphins fan) this demo may cause you conflict. It only allows you to choose between the Jets or the Colts to play with. This gave me great pause because I’m not a fan of either, but had to go with the Colts since there is no way I could play as the Jets unless I wanted to just let the quarterback get sacked over and over and laugh the whole time. (sorry Gary…)

The look and feel of the game is very similar to last year. I’ve held a belief of buying the game every other year when the big changes get made. Madden 10′s graphics were a huge jump in awesome and this year looks a lot the same. Sure, they’ve added a lot more B-Roll footage for each stadium including tailgaters and angry fans leaving in droves if you start to whip the home team.

Game play has some great new features. My favorite being the double stick control of runners. Now the left stick controls your direction and the right stick controls upper body movement making it a lot more effective to juke and shift directions better than you ever have been able to. There is also a new feature that allows you to see who from your friend list is online and instantly set up multiplayer games. They actually show a screen shot of playing 3-on-3 and while I’m not quite sure how this would work, I am looking forward to trying it out.

While I usually turned off the commentators after the first few games, I did miss hearing John Madden’s voice in the game. Gus Johnson Cris Collinsworth provide a realistic feel, but it still doesn’t feel right not to have him as part of it.

Some other new features that I’m excited to dive more into include:

  • Full game playbook design that allows you to fully customize what plays you want to choose from so that you don’t have to scroll endlessly looking for your favorites.
  • Game times are cut down to roughly 30 minutes for a full game instead of 60.
  • GameFlow, the new play calling system that automatically selects the best play for your team based on situational, authentic NFL game plans.
  • Seeing all the customizations (including chants, music, etc) that they’ve put into each stadium.

Overall the demo does just what it should: Make you want to run out and pre order a copy today so that you can play the full thing on August 10th when it comes out.

If you get the game, let us know your gamer tag in the comments below and perhaps we can get some good multiplayer action going between the Digital Dads community.

The Dark Days of Sports

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

I am a huge sports fan. I always have been.

I grew up playing them and then due to a stupid doctor, I was scared out of playing them in high school. But, all that aside I can plop down on the couch and pretty much watch any sporting event.

Dylan and a BIG Patriot FanRight now though is what I refer to as “the dark days of sports.”

While I love going to a baseball game and watching it live, I just can’t watch a game on television. Not unless it is October and it is the playoffs. THEN I can watch baseball on TV. I find it boring and I’d almost rather watch golf. Which by the way is the one sport that I have zero interest in. I’ve tried playing it and watching it and neither do anything for me.

For me, once the NHL and NBA playoffs are over I get bored with sports. The occasional tennis match will grab my attention and this year we thankfully had the World Cup to cheer for. But, right now there is nothing for me.

I know we only have a few weeks left until the NFL starts back up. More than any other sport I’m a die hard football fan. I’ve rooted for the Miami Dolphins my entire life (which is loads of “fun” when you grow up in New England) and this year they finally look like they have a better then usual chance of doing something good. Go Fins!!

Thankfully I’m blessed with a wife who is also a football fan (she roots for the Baltimore Ravens) and Sunday in our house is nothing but football. Opening day we always go over the top and cook a ton of tailgating food to celebrate. I don’t know what is on the menu yet this year but it is always yummy and bad for you. As good tailgating should be.

Am I the only one who gets down in the dumps missing sports this time of year? I’m curious.

Soggy Saturday Wings

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

It doesn’t matter if it is poker night with the boys or a Sunday during the football season. At the end of the day, wings are always a great idea for a meal. Even if you don’t know how to cook, this is so easy you won’t be scared to make it.

Anyone can order takeout or dump some buffalo wing sauce on chicken, so I wanted to share with you the easiest wing recipe I’ve ever used. As I type this I’ve got a platter of them cooking in the oven while my Miami Dolphins play on the television.

Soggy Saturday Wings

Soggy Saturday Wings

  • 25 – 30 Wings (1 large package from the meat counter)
  • 2 Cups Brown Sugar
  • 2 Cups Ketchup
  • 4 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
  • 10 Dashes Hot Sauce
  1. If whole wings, cut at the joint and discard the tips
  2. Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl
  3. Dip each wing in the mix and place on a baking sheet
  4. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the wings
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 90 minutes

That is all there is too it. One little secret I’ll let you in on is that they are even better warmed up the second day. For some reason the sauce thickens and actually gets sweeter. So bake a big batch of them the night before the big game and warm up while watching.

And guess what? They taste even better when you eat them watching the Dolphins beat the Jets like I just did!
