Results for Hole # 1 Chippers Top 5:
Prediction: Saints 35, Falcons 31 Win: This really didn’t turn out to be the offensive firework show that was anticipated. Nonetheless, the Saints get an all important division win.
Prediction: Jets 5 Buccaneers 1 Win: Uuuglyyy!! Geno Smith had 2 TD passes and no INT’s so I guess that’s something. Still don’t think that the Jets are gonna hit the Over on wins though. They have a much steeper climb in New England this week.
Prediction: Jaguars 23, Chiefs 20 Loss: Ok…the Jaguars do suck. Maybe Tebow ain’t so bad afterall…
Prediction: Bears 17, Bengals 14 Win: Cutler and Da Bears overtake the Bengals in the 4th to get the win. Cutler to Marshall connected in the 2nd half to get the win.
Prediction: Cowboys 30, Giants 23 Win: Finally, Jerry Jones gets a win in the Space Station against the G-Men! Six TO’s for NY but Romo gets knocked around in the Dallas victory.
Prediction: Chargers 27, Texans 24 Loss: How do you give up a 3 TD lead at home? Was Norv Turner still there?? Chargers let one get away in the conference that could haunt them down the line.
Total: 4 – 2 for the week and YTD.
The Chippers Top 5
Predictions for Week 2:
Miami Dolphins @ Indianapolis Colts
Would you bet against Andrew Luck: He has eight fourth-quarter game-winning drives and he’s only played 17 regular-season games.
Prediction: Colts 21, Dolphins 17
Carolina Panthers @ Buffalo Bills
The Panthers are going to play well and lose, again. The Bills had the Patriots dead to rights in Week 1 and will close this home game out.
Prediction: Bills 20, Panthers 17
Dallas Cowboys @ Kansas City Chiefs
Playing in Kansas City won’t be easy, especially if Romo is still struggling with a rib injury. This one could go either way, but the home-field advantage is huge.
Prediction: Chiefs 24, Cowboys 21
Detroit Lions @ Arizona Cardinals
Carson Palmer looked good against the Rams, but will face a tougher Detroit defense. Matthew Stafford should find openings against the Arizona secondary.
Prediction: Lions 24, Cardinals 17
San Francisco 49ers @ Seattle Seahawks
This could be a nasty game. Russell Wilson’s fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Golden Tate puts this one away for the Seahawks.
Prediction: Seahawks 23, 49ers 21

The Chippers Top 5
Predictions for Week 1:
Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints
Since Sean Payton took over in 2006, New Orleans is 6-1 at the Superdome against Atlanta. Mark me down for the upset.
Prediction: Saints 35, Falcons 31
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ New York Jets
The QB situation in New York is dicier than ever. You would think that Tampa Bay would take advantage of a struggling offense. I still don’t think much of Josh Freeman and because of that, this one will be a yawner but the Jets will come out with a “W” in week 1.
Prediction: Jets 5 Buccaneers 1
Kansas City Chiefs @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Upset of the Week Alert!! It’s easy to think that the Jags are a mess with no clear cut QB but a steady dose of MJD and a better than you think D will get a win out of the gate.
Prediction: Jaguars 23, Chiefs 20
Cincinnati Bengals @ Chicago Bears
Cover your eyes if you’re looking for offense. Good QB’s and good enough RB’s go up against two of the better D’s in the league. Two words: Patience and Turnovers. Home team takes it.
Prediction: Bears 17, Bengals 14
New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys
Dallas looks primed for a strong season on offense. Tony Romo and Dez Bryant were outstanding in the preseason, and Miles Austin is healthy. DeMarco Murray looks to play his first full season, too. With the G-Men on the mend, the Dallas offense should have enough to get the job done in week one.
Prediction: Cowboys 30, Giants 23
Houston Texans @ San Diego Chargers
It’s a Super Bowl-or-bust season for Houston. San Diego does enough to say Bust on Monday night.
Prediction: Chargers 27, Texans 24

Happy Spring Everybody!
With the exception of a few of you out there, I think the snow and cold has finally released it’s grip and got the heck outta here! I just played my first 18 holes of the year yesterday (birdied the 2nd hole too!) and while I needed an oxygen mask by the 16th tee, I managed to post a solid 85. I hope that by the 40th round this season, the walk will be a little easier.
There’s been a ton of action around the National Football League the past few months and coming up next week is the 2013 versi0n of the Collegiate Draft in which the majority of the young studs chosen will become busts and pocket millions of dollars anyway! It’s kinda sad how a great many of these shooting stars manage to toss away a fortune in such a short period of time. I’d like to think that I’d handle it differently, but hey, you never know and the saying goes: Life is too short so enjoy it while you can!
We here at PigSkinGolf have been chatting quite a bit about how to enhance this awesome game and are currently working on the production of a weekly video segment called “The PigSkin Minute” in which some incredibly intelligent talking head will provide clever insight into past weeks games and a look-see into the upcoming contests as well as commentary and happenings around the globe. Watch for announcements about this exciting addition to PigSkinGolf!
Keep it in the short grass -
