Keyes Foresees NFL 2011 Week 1

After a long break both the NFL and KeyesToSports are back. Last years inaugural season of Keyes Foresees saw us end up at 74-51 vs. the spread and 81-44 picking the outright winner. Since I was on vacation this week I was a little slow getting the picks posted but here we go.

My first lock for this week is the Rams over the Eagles. I like the way Bradford has progressed. Steven Jackson should be more than enough for the Eagles to not be able to sit on the blitz and with the week LB crew of the Eagles I can see big plays happening once he progresses through the first level.

Second lock of the week is the Chargers over the Vikings. If this game is within 20 points I will be very surprised. Phillip Rivers is ready to take over the throne of best QB in the AFC and with having Vincent Jackson back to start the season it should be points galore for the Charger's offense.

My final lock of week 1 is Dallas over the NY Jets. Yes I am going way out on a limb that the Cowbowys have righted the ship. Although Jerry didn't take my advice from last year he has made some good moves in hiring Rex Ryan to lead the defense, ditching Roy Williams (addition by subtraction) and giving Felix Jones the RB1 slot.

It's good to be back and looking forward to the 2011 NFL season

Keyes Foresees Week 16 NFL

Big week in the NFL for some team not so much for others. So in the spirit of competition I will only pick games that have playoff implications for my Key Picks. Recapping from last week we had an OK performance going 9-6 against the spread and 10-6 outright. Key Picks were 3-0 bailed out by D Jackson of the Eagles in the final seconds, Phillip Rivers and Vincent Jackson torching the 49ers on Thursday Night and Peyton coming through again for the colts. Overall for the year we are at 53-40 vs the spread and 58-35 outright. 


This weeks picks are Chicago at home over the Jets. Jay Cutler is looking better and better, Forte isn't hurt and the game is at Soldier Field. Going with the Colts again but this time on the road in Oakland just because Peyton doesn't want to miss the playoffs. Finally the big one... for all the marbles in the NFC, I look for the Falcons to clinch home field and get that week one bye with "Matty Ice" out playing Drew Brees. That's this weeks Keyes Foresees.

Keyes Foresees Week 15 NFL

Week 14 was a setback going 6-10 vs the spread, 7-9 overall for our first week under 500 in the past 3. Pittsburgh was the only Key Pick to win against the spread and outright. So no sense dwelling in the past when we have week 15 right around the corner. 

Week 15 has Key Picks of the Chargers over the 49ers. I mean can anyone stop Phillip Rivers? Peyton Manning and the Colts over the Jags because he is Peyton. The Eagles and Mike Vick over the Giants continuing to write the script for what will surely be a movie someday and of course it would be great if a good deal of the proceeds went to charities against animal cruelty.
