NFL Week 3

O'Hoolix will be posting his super serious alien picks on Saturday. As of 2 weeks O'Hoolix is 13-8, a stellar 61%. When O'Hoolix says a double bet, he counts it as two games, a la the Saints pick last week. Stay tuned for week 3 winners.


Week 1: 6-5
Week 2: 7-3

Last weeks games were good to O’Hoolix, I hope you had a chance to ca$h in on them. On to week 3 selections from your favorite furry alien.

BUCS +6.5: If you can get +7 here take it. The Bucs are struggling a bit and giving up lots of points, but they are at home and the Giants are on the road again. The Giants are really banged up here and I think in a bit of a letdown spot.
BUCS/NYG ovr 45.5: Giant injuries and TB ability to score some points should combine for an over here. 28-24
TEXANS -3.5: Will the real Texans please stand up! O’hoolix thinks they will in this game. The Texans have the momentum here and the Jags are taking on water fast, 3.5 is not going to be enough here 27-10
BILLS+ 6: I’ll take the home dog here. This is the Saints second in a row on the road and the Bills should be able to keep it close and TO should be able to take advantage of the Saints secondary, 27-24
BENGALS +3.5: This is not the same Bengals and its not the same Steelers. The Steelers looked lethargic against the Bears and won against an apparently over rated Titans club. The Bengals will be hyped for this one.
BEARS -2.5: The Seahawks are dessimated with injuries and the Bears have looked decent this year. If Culter keeps turnovers down, I see a Bears romp.
SD -6: O’Hoolix does like the fish, BUT travelling to the West coast after a tough defeat to play SD is a tall order. The Chargers will be pissed after losing to the Ravens last week. Take the Chargers 24-14.

Good Luck All!

NFL Week 2

O'hoolix will be posting analysis and selections for week 2 Friday evening or Saturday afternoon.

I first wanted to say a big posthumous thank you to Mel Simon who passed earlier this week. Indy sports fans(in fact the whole city) owes a huge debt of gratitude to the Simon's, specifically Mel who came to Indy first. If it were not for the Simon's buying the team in 1977 the Indianapolis as you know it would not exist. The thinking to revive Indy during that time was to create a vibrant downtown. This was no simple feat when industry was drying up and the economy was in big jeopardy. The Simon's helped keep the Pacer's franchise in Indy, thereby keeping in place a main cog in the big league status potential of Indianapolis. The rest is history. O'hoolix suggests you toast Mel the next time you: walk by Conseco Fieldhouse, go to a Colts game or eat in a nice restaurant downtown or a myriad of other things. All of these were in part due to Mel and Herb Simon's commitment to Indianapolis, how lucky we are!

Week 1: 6-5

Week 2 Picks: People pay much more money to touts to score worse records than 6-5. O'Hoolix is ready to go for week 2 and hopes you are ready to fire away.

RAIDERS +3: Raiders look improved they should be able to score on KC defense. They would have put up a few more points if its weren't for an overturned TD.
TITANS +7: Somebody is going 0-2, I'll bet its going to be Texas. The Texas gave up over 450 yards at home to the Jets last week, I like the Tenn defense better. 21-10.
JETS +4: I really would like this at 4.5 or 5.5, but +4 is decent. The JETS d is good and NE's isn't. The PATS seem a bit overrated in this spot and they will have a rowdy home advantage here.
SAINTS PK:2x Unit bet! Ok, O'Hoolix really likes this one. The Saints have the best O in the league and will show it on Sunday. Without McNabb, Philly's offence will not be its best and they will need every point just to stay close. Philly was a recipient of 7, yes I said 7 Carolina turnovers last week, not this time.
PANTHERS +6.5: If you can get 7 points here even better. Everyone is crushing Delhomme, I hope he destroys the Hawks. O'Hoolix loathes modern societies lack of loyalty and quickness to jump ship, activate Space Monkey's. The Hawks beat a crappy Dolphins team who had 3 fumbles and 1 interception.24-21 Carolina.
BROWNS +3: I don't like the Browns this year, but Denver has to prove to me they can lay points with anyone. Yes, they had a decent performance last week, but I am interested in seeing them as a favorite.
RAVENS +3: Baltimore racked up over 500 yds in offense last week. They should be able to put enough up on SD to win outright. They had a blocked punt for a TD and a pick to their own 6 to make the score closer last week, their D actually played well. The Ravens D should hold Rivers in check enough here.
BILLS/TB OVR 42: Both of their offenses put up decent numbers last week against top tier teams. Both of their defenses gave up a shit load of yards as well, O'Hoolix likes the recipe for an over here.

COLTS -3: -3 is a safe bet here. The Colts are the better team and have the better offense for sure. The fish have two rookie corners who will have a long night against Reggie Wayne's return to Miami and the Colts D. should be able to get a few
turnovers off of Miami.

GOOD LUCK ALL!

NFL Week 1

Hello all, I'm back, much to the chagrin of many (or any) readers of this blog. O'Hoolix is back for the 2009 NFL season to fatten your slender wallets. Before I post on thursday's game, I have one observation. Stay tuned for weekly picks.

Why is Rick Patino still coaching Louisville? O'Hoolix was stunned with the revelations about the coach. Not only that he had an affair in a place that serves food.....YUCK(O'hoolix would bring a black light if he ever went there)but the following scandal involving blackmail and the allegation that he funded an abortion. How can Mr. Pitino or the university go on like business as usual? Pitino should have stepped down or the university should have fired him plain and simple. This isn't calling a recruit one too many times, this is a scandal that has brought shame to Mr. Pitino, his family and the University of Louisville. When O'Hoolix is King punishment will be swift, just and carried out far from hippies!

PITTSBURGH -6.5: O'Hoolix liked this pick better at -5.0 or 5.5, but it has risen to 6.5. The furry alien thinks that Pittsburgh with all its offensive starters returning will be too much for he Titans. Kerry Collins is coming off of a good year, but I see a down year for him. I don't think they will run the ball against the Steelers and Collins probably won't be effective in the air. Look for the Steelers to score enough on offense to win and cover. Pitt 24 Tenn 10.

Sundays Picks:

Miami +4
Cincy-4.5
Jets +4.5
Minn -4
SF +6
IND -6.5
DAL -5.5
SD -9.5
WAS +6.5
NE/BUF ovr 47.5 (NEW)

Good Luck All!
