Last week was a mess. This week can’t get much worse. I was 4-10 straight up. Four and 10! The spread worked out a little better, at 6-8. Simms and I disagreed on six games. He hit on five of them, to go 8-6. My lead has imploded from nine games to two. For the year, I’m 51-26-1 straight up …

Just days after Fox Sports NFL analyst Mark Sanchez was arrested for allegedly attacking a 69-year-old grease truck driver, an incident for which he now faces multiple criminal charges, the victim filed a civil lawsuit against both Sanchez and his employer, Fox Corporation. Sanchez was in Indianapolis, where the incident took place, on business for Fox. He was scheduled to …

The lead is down to six. This week, things could change dramatically. We disagree on six of 14 games. Last week, Simms won the slate with 12-3-1 straight up. I went 11-4-1. Against the spread, I was 12-4 to his 11-5. For the season, I’m 47-16-1 straight up. He’s 41-23-1. Against the spread, I’m 38-26. He’s 30-34. All Week 5 …

It’s gotten a little tighter. This week, it can only further tighten by one game. For Week 3, Simms won the microcontest, going 12-4 straight up against my 10-6. For the season, I’m 36-12 and he’s 29-19. He went 3-1 in our four disagreements. (He would have swept me, 4-0, but for Jordan Davis.) Against the spread, I was 8-8. …

Sunday’s Week 3 matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Los Angeles Rams featured one of the worst bad beats of the season and perhaps in recent NFL history, which Mike Florio believes is a stark reminder that the league may have gone too far with sportsbooks. With the Eagles leading 27-26, Philadelphia defensive tackle Jordan Davis saved the day, …

Two weeks down, 16 to go. And the lead is growing. Nine games, with a 10-1 record in our disagreements. But it’s a new week. And a new chance to screw things up. In Week 2, I went 13-3 straight up and 9-7 against the spread. Simms was 11-5 and 9-7. For the year, I’ve blind-squirreled my way to 26-6 …

Stop the fight. In Week 1, Simms and I disagreed on seven of 16 games. In those disagreements, I went 7-0. This week, we disagree on five games. Which could extend my lead to 12. Or shrink it to two. In Week 1, I went 13-3 straight up and 9-7 against the spread. Simms was 6-10 and 3-13. For all …

As the Pittsburgh Steelers get ready to open their season against the New York Jets on Sunday, there’s been a calmness vibe emanating from their starting quarterback. One who would have reasons to feel some extra motivation as he takes on his former team, who he’s publicly disagreed with this offseason. Yet, Aaron Rodgers hasn’t had much to say about …

We’re back, baby. It’s Florio vs. Simms. Picking every game. Straight up and against the spread. Here they are, starting with the first game of the season, to be played tonight in Philadelphia. As the Eagles, unbeknownst to coach Nick Sirianni, hang their second banner. And this season will get off to a bang. We disagree on seven picks, with …
