Week 2 provided the viewers with some thrilling matchups across the NFL, with games such as the Browns-Saints and Chargers-Seahawks providing entertainment until the very last minute. Week 3 is expected to be just as exciting and entertaining as the league features many close contests and a repeat of the Super Bowl. After last week, I have predicted 13/25 so far (not great!), I offer my insight into the matches for this coming Sunday and hopefully improve this record.

Week 2 NFL Picks

The opening week of the season provided fans with some great matches full of touchdowns, interceptions and strangely, shocks. Nobody saw the Bills beating Chicago, nobody saw the Jaguars going 17-0 up against the Eagles and nobody saw the Patriots failing to beat the Dolphins. It was a bad week for me in the predictions as I scored a grand total of 5/12 matches. Once again, I am going to be predicting Sunday’s fixtures but not the late game which features the Chicago Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers. Hopefully I can perform better in the 13 matchups that shall occur at the weekend.

Football is back. I speak for everyone when I say that too many Sundays have gone by without the NFL on our television screens. I suppose you could say that preseason is football, although with the frequent use of second and third string sides, one never feels that the season is truly underway until the first game of the regular season arrives.

Super Bowl XLVIII Prediction: Seahawks Lose

The National Football League's 48th Super Bowl is coming upon us quickly, and after a much needed 2 weeks off, the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks square off in what might be the most anticipated Super Bowl match up since it's creation. No one knows for sure who will pull out the win here, but my gut is going with the Denver Broncos even though the statistics favor the Seahawks.

The Weekly Muck: NFL Picks From The Black Lagoon Week 16

by @Swampy_Swami (Gene Henke)
HO! HO! HOOOOOO! Merry Christmas from SwampaClaus everybody! It is such a great time of year isn’t it? Despite the fact that it sure does bring a tear to my eye as the season is almost over. We are currently full steam ahead on the Polar Express headed toward the Playoffs and things are indeed heating up! As we approach the second to last Holy Sunday of the year, teams are fighting for their playoff lives while others are getting their Grinch on and playing spoiler. How exciting! Last week was definitely the worst Muck of the year as the SwampMan went a brutal 1-3-1 in The Muck Five. No excuses, that is just terrible! However I vow to make it up to you with a little Holiday treat this week; five stocking stuffer picks for all the good little boys and girls! We sure do have some good ones on tap for us tomorrow and I can’t wait. It’s like Christmas Even in the Swamp today! Without further ado, I bring to you the week 16 edition of The Weekly Muck, enjoy everyone!

Heyyyyy everybody and welcome once again to week 15 edition to The Weekly Muck! Have no fear because your favorite SwampMan is here! First off I just want to apologize for the extremely tardy posting of this week’s Mucky 5; it has been a very busy week for the Swamper. I know last week I promised to go 5-0 and it looks like I have to apologize again for falling one short and going a solid 4-1. If you followed the five picks, I am pretty sure you won’t be too mad at me though, heheh. I am a firm believer that if not for the blizzard of the season in Philly, the Lions join the Dolphins, Vikings, Falcons, and Chargers in the week 14 Swampthing winner’s party. Don’t fret my friends, as I feel very strongly about the following plays. So without further ado, I bring to you, the week 15 edition of The Weekly Muck, enjoy folks!

Helloooooooooo everyone and welcome once again to The Weekly Muck! Week 14 has snuck up on us pretty quickly here and the SwampMan is not too happy about it. The season will be gone before we know it! So let us be sure to enjoy these last remaining weeks while they are here. Last week Swamper went a measly 3-2 again after the Amish Rifle threw an interception on the Titan’s potential backdoor covering drive and the Redskins blew a win at the end once again. That one had me ticked off as I will blame the ending on the zebras but that is an argument for another day. The good news was the Panthers romped the Bucs as planned, the Vikings overcame some unlucky adversity to get a win in OT, and the Seahawks absolutely destroyed the Saints on Monday night like we predicted to give the SwampDocta 3 winnas. This week I plan to get out of this 3-2 rut and give you a strong 5-0 week. I feel really good about these picks so without further ado let’s jump right into the swamp, enjoy everyone!

Hello and welcome everyone to the week 13 edition of The Weekly Muck. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and got your eat on while enjoying some football. What is better than that huh?! Nothing really if you ask me. Food, drinks, and football on a day off from work! It is like God’s gift to man. A big thanks to the Pilgrims and Indians, Swampy loves you baby! Now onto some business, last week the SwampMan had his worst weekend yet for his top five picks going an ugly 2-3 for the week. The Rams and Patriots pulled out the wins while the Texans, Redskins, and Browns all got their butts handed to them. This week the SwampMan promises to make that up to you by providing five brand new sexy picks for ya to sink your teeth into. I suggest you call your local locksmith and get him on standby because without further ado, I bring to you the five locks of the weekend! Enjoy!

Hello everyone and once again welcome to the Week 12 edition of The Weekly Muck. Last week your favorite slimeball went 3-1-1 on the Mucky 5. The three wins consisted of the GMEN covering the spread in a rout while the Phins and Bucs both pulled the upset and won outright! The sole loss was when the Skins forgot to come to play in Philly and despite the terrible start, did make a game out of it in the end but it wasn’t enough to cover. The 49ers ended up in a push when they were robbed for hitting Drew Brees too hard and the Saints squeaking a win out via field goal as a result. My god how soft is the game getting today when a hard earned sack fumble can be called against the defense as a penalty? Back in the day that hit on Brees would have been glorified and replayed on the highlights as a great play instead of a controversial penalty. Sheesh, sometimes this patty cake version of the NFL we watch today makes the SwampMan sick, which is hard to do! As we head into the home stretch of the season we are starting to see the playoff picture take form. I don’t know about you, but as a fellow football freak I am pumped for these next couple of weeks! Without further ado, I bring to you this week’s five winning picks straight from the sleaze, deep in the heart of the swamps. Enjoy!

What’s up my fellow football freaks? Long time no talk; at least that is what it feels like to the SwampMan. I apologize for The Weekly Muck not making it on the site last week due to technical difficulties. Furthermore, I apologize for it being late this week as well. It won’t happen again. Last week was another great one in the Swamp with the Panthers, Texans, and Ravens covering while the Packers and Chargers decided to be party poopers. The Charger pick missed by a half point, while the Packer’s backup QB’s backup was forced to take the reigns when the original backup was hurt early in the game. I hope your still with me after that sentence. So in a nutshell it was another solid 3-2 week for Swampy although none of this matters since it was not posted on the site for you to view. So that being said, I don’t know why I am even bringing it up. I apologize once again, and will just shut-up and dive on into this week’s Muck 5. First up:

The Weekly Muck: NFL Picks Week 9 - Halloween Edition

Seattle Chucky
Hello everyone and Happy Halloween! Last week the SwampMan only hit a disappointing two out of the five murky picks. Sorry about that everybody! The Dolphins blew a huge lead, the Lions decided to win in dramatic fashion and not cover, and the Jets well, they just got their butts handed to them. No excuses however, I’m just sayin! The good news is I am excited about this weekend’s games as I have a slimy bucket full of promising winners to share. I feel pretty strongly about these picks so please enjoy the thought process of my sludgy brain and take my insight into consideration. Without further ado here is this week’s Halloween edition of The Weekly Muck, it’s only treats over here baby!

Hello everyone and welcome to another addition of the Weekly Muck. It was a rough outing in the Swamp last Sunday and the SwampMan is looking for revenge! I want to apologize for providing you with a bunch of losers last weekend and promise to get back on track this time around. The only team to prevail out of my picks was the Jets, go figure! It was probably the least likely one to do so but that is the NFL for ya! It is where odd things happen. Teams that are supposed to win don’t and ones that aren’t supposed to, do. Write that down. That being said this week I have a bucket full of slimy winners for ya, so let’s waste no more time and dive headfirst into the Muck:

In the words of one of my all-time favorite movie characters; Wooderson (Dazed and Confused), “alriiiighttt, alriiiiiiighttt.” The Swampman is off to a great start bringing you his NFL picks outta the Muck delivering four out of five winners last weekend. I did say that I would earn your trust in no time! For those of you who are reading The Muck for the first time, welcome! Just to reiterate, Swampthing gives you his top five NFL picks every week in addition to his reasoning why. Yes, I am talking in the third person. The Swampthing likes it. Last week I supplied you with a bucket full of five slimy spoilers and while 4 of them covered, three of them won outright! That’s what Swampy is talking about baby! This week I have three slimy spoliers as well as two small favorites in store for ya. The SwampKing is looking forward to providing you with some unique perspective on NFL matchups. This is just to look at things maybe a little differently than you may have at first. Think of it as a friendly insight to consider before making your big picks this week. That’s what I’m here for, afterall the Swampy loves you baby! Remember that and write it down! Enjoy friends:

This Monday Night Football game will mark the debut of the 2012 #1 pick Andrew Luck to the historic platform. It will also be the debut of both head coaches head-to-head. The Indianapolis Colts take the trip out west to face the San Diego Chargers with an impressive 4-1 record. The Chargers started out well behind the play of a resurgent Phillip Rivers, but ran into some obstacles last week against their division rival Oakland Raiders.

Greetings my little explorers! It is a pleasure to meet you all and welcome you to the swamp where your favorite slimy creature lurks in the sludge. Please allow me to first formally introduce myself; my name is Gene Henke Jr. and I am an NFL enthusiast, analyst, writer, and blogger. I go by the codename: Swampthing. Strange, yes I know. I will explain this as well; I got my start a couple seasons ago during the North Jersey floods when I started posting my thoughts and opinions on NFL forums under that name for fun. Long story short, it is my passion and a hobby of mine which I thoroughly enjoy doing.
Swampthing’s point of view took off a bit and here I am.

 Each week RFSports has been kind enough to allow me to come on here and bring you my top picks for the week as well as my reasoning behind them. In no time I will earn your trust and become your favorite swampy pal and somebody whom you can come to for advice on NFL selections every week. I will be summarizing my top five picks. They will consist of four of my favorite plays as well as a Bonus 5th.I have quite the bucket full of slimy spoilers as my selections are all in fact underdogs. Who doesn’t love some good doggies?! The SwampMan surely does, and this week they are barking! Without further ado, I bring to you Swampthing’s Muck of the Week! Enjoy.
