Caught in a Mosh

This week I chose Anthrax's "Caught in a Mosh" because the past week was as crazy, busy for me as a mosh pit.

It began with a BHS boys basketball game on Tuesday, continued with a meeting on Thursday and hockey and basketball games on Friday night and four of them on Saturday.

It is good to note that the BHS hockey team is a perfect 3-0, and the basketball team is 2-0 after their first full week of competition.

I am thrilled to announce that despite losing week 13 match ups in both fantasy football leagues, my teams have first round bye's in the week 14 playoffs. 

I went a dismal 8-8 last week in my NFL picks. It dropped me to 130-71 or 64.6 percent. Hopefully this week will be a better shot, though the final few weeks are usually tough with the playoffs looming. 

Week 14 picks:

Steelers over Browns
Patriots over Redskins
Jets over Chiefs
Bengals over Texans
Ravens over Colts
Panthers over Falcons
Buccaneers over Jaguars
Saints over Titans
Dolphins over Eagles
Vikings over Lions
49ers over Cardinals
Broncos over Bears
Packers over Raiders
Chargers over Bills
Giants over Cowboys
Seahawks over Rams
