Baby we can talk all night, but that ain’t getting us nowhere. I told you everything I possibly can. There’s nothing left inside of here.
Blah, blah, blah… TWO OUT OF THREE AIN’T BADDDDDDD!
That was the tune for my NFL survivor pick strategy last week, which was spot on with Tampa Bay as my safe survivor pick and New Orleans as my team to avoid. But my featured pick on Pittsburgh came out looking like two-day-old meatloaf and not the improbable rock god who gave us the above poetry.
Here are my Week 3 survivor pool picks – take ’em or leave ’em.

The Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers rekindle their NFC rivalry in the Wild Card Round in Arlington, Texas on Sunday afternoon.
The Niners snuck into the postseason with a thrilling come-from-behind win over the L.A. Rams in Week 18 and enter the NFL Playoffs as one of the hottest teams in the NFL, having won seven of their last nine contests. Despite that momentum, San Francisco is a field goal underdog to Dallas, which earned the No. 4 seed in the conference thanks to a soft home stretch.
Here are our free NFL picks and predictions for 49ers at Cowboys on January 16.

The schedule gets nasty in Week 6 with the opening third of the NFL season coming to a close.
Not only do teams really start to feel the wear and tear of the gridiron, but several clubs are up against tricky situations that could impact the outcome of their Week 6 odds.
Each week I highlight these spots — aka spot bets — and what to consider when folding these angles into your usual handicapping routine.
Here are my top letdown, look-ahead, and schedule spots to consider when betting the Week 6 NFL odds.
Letdown spot: Minnesota Vikings (-3.5) at Chicago Bears
The Vikings shift gears in Week 6, coming off a huge home stand against the Kansas City Chiefs before traveling to the Windy City to fac…
Coming off a humbling loss on Monday, the San Francisco 49ers will look to wrap up the No.1 spot in the NFC as a practicing Brock Purdy and the Niners cross the country to take on the Washington Commanders who have dropped six straight, are decimated in the secondary, and might have to go back to Sam Howell under center.
It’s not easy finding value in Christian McCaffrey’s props, but with Elijah Mitchell likely back and a concentrated effort to get CMC more involved in the passing game, is a five-catch game on the horizon for the MVP hopeful despite being a heavy favorite?
I break down the Week 17 NFL odds and offer my free NFL picks for 49ers at Commanders on December 31.

DID HE KEEP HIS PRESENTS? NO, HE’S SHERINGHAM
The old saying that “the first yard is in the head” was never particularly good news for The Fiver. So it made us fall out of our dentist’s chair to learn Edward Paul Sheringham MBE, the man that adage was written for, has turned 54 (FIFTY-FOUR). First of all: happy birthday, Teddy! Second: can we voluntarily furlough ourselves for a lockdown period spent watching late-1990s highlight reels?
In truth that’s how thousands of us are spending our time anyway, isn’t it? Be honest. The curious thing about Clever Teddy was that he only became mainstream from his mid-20s onwards – coincidentally from around 1992, wh…
Simone Inzaghi tried to remain upbeat throughout his post-match press conference but, in keeping with Internazionale’s entire night against Liverpool at San Siro, a positive performance came with a sting at the end.
Inter’s coach described their display as “probably our best game of the season” considering they were facing “one of the best teams in Europe” and stated several times that he was proud of the Italian champions’ tireless shift. Only the fine margins had gone against them, he continued, with Roberto Firmino’s glancing 75th-minute header the decisive detail. And then came the sting, or perhaps just the reality.
“We don’t have much hope now,” Inzaghi admitted. It has been drained by Li…
Panama defender Gilberto Hernández has died after being shot in the city of Colón on Sunday, the Panama Football League said in a statement.
Hernández played for Club Atlético Independiente de La Chorrera and made two international appearances after making his debut in March. His last club game came on 23 August, a 3-1 victory over Real Estelí FC in the Central American Cup.
“The Panamanian Football League regrets the sad loss of Gilberto Hernández, a player for Club Atlético Independiente, in an isolated act of violence in the city of Colón, which also left several injured,” the league said in the statement.
The Panama federation also issued a statement.
