I am waiting for the "he is an idiot" talk. :laugh:

Wagon Circler · 06-06-2005, 03:13 PM

I like him

I also like no Jets on that list.

He did pick Seattle vs. Jacksonville last year and he picked the Bills 2 years ago. He's not exactly doing well w/ his predictions.

And who is? It's an inexact science. But, he makes his mistakes known and actually calls himself out. Bigger than most (and I don't mean his weight.)

What do you disagree about? Did Buf make the playoffs in '03? did Jax make it last year? How can you disagree?

Yes, but it is the NFL. Teams go from bad to playoffs very quickly. He picked two teams that he thought were on the cusp of greatness, and for reasons to each team they fell short. It was not like he picked two teams that had zero chance like the Browns and 49ers. Don't make it look like it was that bad.

You said the last two years right? Buffalo was very close to being a playoff team last year, so even if they don't make it this year, it's not a "bad miss" for King.

All "experts" are trying to pick the next '99 Rams or '01 Pats so they take chances on teams who had bad records the year before but Buf was 6-10 2 years ago and jax did miss the playoffs. Now if he said SD last year I would have given him credit b/c at least SD was a playoff team. I think he learned his lesson and is picking the Champs but hopefully he's wrong again. Either way he'll be alot closer this year than the last few.

He picked Buf 2 years ago and they were 6-10, he picked Jax last year and they missed the playoffs. he wasn't close w/ either.

Well they seem like good picks this year. Granted Jets kind of got left out.

nyjunc · 06-06-2005, 03:58 PM

he even changed his pick of jax to Denver before the season(his Jax pick was his ealry pick) and still wasn't close although at least Den made the playoffs even thought they didn't show up:

2 years ago SL over Buffalo. I guess he could be considered somewhat close since SL at least made the div rd but Buf was 6-10:

Wagon Circler · 06-06-2005, 04:02 PM

Wow, I never saw that. Suberbowl pick, he really went out on a limb there.

At any rate his bets this year seem a lot safer.
