WEEK 17 NFL

NFL P.O.W. SELECTION (13-3-0 YTD)
NO +7 (William Hill)
As a dog of more than +3, Brees is 7-1 ATS, with 2 high powered offenses, the better bet may be the OVER. Even tho Brees is not as good on the road, he does good in domes while the Falcons are 13-17 ATS at home. I almost picked Carolina since i like betting teams after a big blow out the week before, but for my POW i’ll go with New Orleans. SCORE: Saints 35-Falcons 28

Week 16 NFL Pick of the Week

NFL P.O.W. SELECTION (13-2-0 YTD)

SD -6 (William Hill)
I smell a blow-out of epic proportions, or at least a cover. The Bolts’ Defensive Hog Index at #8 should put a stop to the lowly Browns while Cleveland’s DHI is the worst in the league at #32 (per the ColdHardFootballFacts.com). The bright spot for the Browns is their push for the #1 draft pick next season. My only concern is the heavy public betting on the Bolts. SCORE: Chargers 28-Browns 10

Number one Cover for SWEET CHILD OF MINE? Here's my list

Guess who's rated #1 in YouTube Sweet Child of Mine Covers? 1. The Warning: Pau puts them over the top with her drumming, good stage presence of guitarist and bassist. Sound is not the best quality but the energy shows thru anyway https://youtu.be/injEzcnDbAo?list=PL9b4OpfD_r8Q6yJ5D80s37tNElqvWmxvT

The New #2 and REAL close to #1: Sweet Child O' Mine by Tribute Band Appetite For Destruction...great sound and stage performance, Pau of The Warning is still ahead of their drummer tho. I had a hard time not making these guys #1 https://youtu.be/blo6lt3pGbI

2. Payslip: close second, lot of energy except for drummer, good sound and stage presence https://youtu.be/PCE3e8lY--w?list=PL9b4OpfD_r8Q6yJ5D80s37tNElqvWmxvT 3. Postmodern Jukebox, Casey Abrams, Professional singers, great cover and great singer….no guitarist or drummer..but then not needed in this version https://youtu.be/bZpdXgsI6C0?list=PL9b4OpfD_r8Q6yJ5D80s37tNElqvWmxvT 4. Nescafe Basement II Pakistan, great cover, but guys in headphones will always sound good, how do they perform in front of an audience?…great singer and lead guitarist anyway. If they perform this well in front of crowd, easily #2 or #1 https://youtu.be/_pioB8FJZmw?list=PL9b4OpfD_r8Q6yJ5D80s37tNElqvWmxvT 5.Miche Braden, great blues version https://youtu.be/kJ3BAF_15yQ 6.Euthanasia, Great cover, weak stage presence, performed without an audience but good sound and singer and lead guitarist. https://youtu.be/qghSHjgbY9M?list=PL9b4OpfD_r8Q6yJ5D80s37tNElqvWmxvT 7.Jujucaster: perfect session player, he gets #1 for being a one man production, if his multiple personalities had more energy in front of live audience, could easily be #1 or #2. https://youtu.be/Q17NYLyi0_0?list=PL9b4OpfD_r8Q6yJ5D80s37tNElqvWmxvTc 8. Professional singer and band, great performance https://youtu.be/ElmaMR4vJww?list=PL9b4OpfD_r8Q6yJ5D80s37tNElqvWmxvT 9.

Amazing Teen Band: nice lead guitar, singer and bass player are outstanding, drummer weak https://youtu.be/v6Ghc18n6K8?list=PL9b4OpfD_r8Q6yJ5D80s37tNElqvWmxvT 11. Vuelta AtrĂ¡s; wonder how they perform in front of a live audience, great lead guitarist, weak drummer, bassist good, not sure of lead singer…seems a bit off or maybe because he looks like a doofus? https://youtu.be/9fWyRWS3WeI?list=PL9b4OpfD_r8Q6yJ5D80s37tNElqvWmxvT 12. Avery Molek, 6 year old Drummer & French Kiss, professional band with great kid drummer https://youtu.be/2Gr8cA04Bos?list=PL9b4OpfD_r8Q6yJ5D80s37tNElqvWmxvT 13.

Trio F.E.E feat Marie-Pier Gamache; i wonder how they perform in front of live audience, great lead guitar, singer and drummer need help altho they both have promise, bass has no stage presence https://youtu.be/QUPcHxHRx3s?list=PL9b4OpfD_r8Q6yJ5D80s37tNElqvWmxvT 15. Genji Buskers-a little different, good energy, no drums or electric guitars…but none needed on this cover https://youtu.be/jsnt4QbNIwE?list=PL9b4OpfD_r8Q6yJ5D80s37tNElqvWmxvT 16. Sheryl Crow, professional band but not great cover https://youtu.be/i_KTSHpar8A?list=PL9b4OpfD_r8Q6yJ5D80s37tNElqvWmxvT 17. Luciana Zogbi and Gianfranco Casan: Great singer, now if only the guitarist could perform in front of an audience and play drums and guitars at the same time …need stage presence, great sound otherwise https://youtu.be/8Yc13fZTpr0?list=PL9b4OpfD_r8Q6yJ5D80s37tNElqvWmxvT 18. Danielle Lowe; Good singing solo, how would she be in front of a live audience? https://youtu.be/nF6Q86o57IY?list=PL9b4OpfD_r8Q6yJ5D80s37tNElqvWmxvT 19.

Week 15 NFL GAMES

NFL P.O.W. SELECTION (WEEK 15)
Det +4 (William Hill)
As i said earlier this year, the Lions play close games…The exceptions were the Rams and Niners, so i’m feeling good with Stafford and the Lions.vs Eli. The g-men may be a bit over-rated after their victory vs. Dallas last week. I almost took the under in the Bears/Packer game due to the sub-zero weather, but i’ll go with the Lions. SCORE: Lions17-Giants 14.
