My cat’s football predictions (Round 8)

November 15th, 2008, 12:31 pm by Brad Milner

It’s been a serious week of news in sports with that whole FSU fracas, so it’s back to the lighter side.

Musa is trailing me and many have deduced it was the tape worm and not the near-death experience that gave him his powers. Either way, he’s down and looking to get back up. The season is drawing to a close and he has to make his move quick if he’s going to do it.

Here we go.

His college picks: South Carolina over Florida, Florida State over Boston College and New Mexico over my alma mater, Colorado State University.

His NFL picks: Chicago over Green Bay and Washington over Dallas.

My picks: Florida, FSU, CSU, Green Bay, Washington.

Musa’s football record last week: 1-4
Musa’s misc. record: 0-1 (presidential election)
Musa’s baseball record: 3-4
Musa’s football record: 20-20
Musa’s overall record: 23-25

My football record last week: 3-2
My misc. record: 1-0 (presidential election)
My baseball record: 5-2
My football record: 23-17
My overall record: 29-19

Cat predictions taking a break this week

November 8th, 2008, 12:08 pm by Brad Milner

Consider this the bye week for Musa.

First, I don’t think he’s recovered from the election. He was way off, just like I said. Plus, I must have had some bad Sonic last night because I’m torn up, but you don’t need to know about that.

We’ll return with more picks next week.

Musa’s football record last week: 1-4
Musa’s misc. record: 0-1 (presidential election)
Musa’s baseball record: 3-4
Musa’s football record: 20-20
Musa’s overall record: 23-25

My football record last week: 3-2
My misc. record: 1-0 (presidential election)
My baseball record: 5-2
My football record: 23-17
My overall record: 29-19

John McCain or Barack Obama? My cat picks the winner

November 3rd, 2008, 7:31 pm by Brad Milner
Does Musa think John McCain will win?

Does Musa think John McCain will win?

The day has arrived, when history is made. No, I’m not talking about a landmark election. I’m talking about a cat predicting the winner, which is rarely, if ever done.

Musa made a choice a few months back. I decided I’d let him sit on it and then have him make another selection the day before the election between Barack Obama and John McCain.

Or will he choose change and Barack Obama?

Or will he choose "change" and Barack Obama?

Musa has shown a propensity to watch television (his favorite is women’s college basketball), so it’s not out of the realm of possibilities to think he has endured an attack ad or two or five thousand. Heck, maybe he’s even reading the paper while we’re away.

Musa took no time to make his first choice (here’s the method) those many weeks ago. He chose McCain, who at the time was strong in the polls and fresh off a boost from Sarah Palin.

Then came the change in momentum, the attacks on Palin from every angle. And the debates showed McCain a tired and weary man, while Obama looked every bit as energetic as what the American people would dream to feel like (he has a way of sounding good, at least).

The ads flowed. Obama was on every TV station. He had an informercial, where he sold us Sham Wows and can openers. Ok, that he didn’t do, but that would have been cool.

My cat’s football predictions (Round 7)

November 1st, 2008, 10:53 am by Brad Milner

Game time is approaching and my wife is getting increasingly nervous.

You see, she’s an avid Georgia Bulldogs fan and would like nothing better than her team to defeat Florida on Saturday. However, she is a realist and knows the game won’t be easy to win. Plus, she works with a ton of Gators fans and she doesn’t want to hear about it if Georgia loses.

Musa may be cognizent of this fact as he took longer than usual to make the pick for the game. Well, here it is.

Musa’s college picks: Florida State over Georgia Tech, Texas Tech over Texas and Georgia over Florida.

His NFL picks: Houston over Minnesota and Dallas of the New York Giants.

My picks (and these are difficult): FSU, Texas, Florida, Minnesota, Giants. (this could change the standings dramatically)

Musa’s football record last week: 2-3
Musa’s baseball record: 3-4
Musa’s football record: 19-16
Musa’s overall record: 22-20

My football record last week: 4-1
My baseball record: 5-2
My football record: 20-15
My overall record: 25-17

My cat’s football predictions (Round 6)

October 25th, 2008, 10:08 am by Brad Milner

The longer this has gone the longer Musa takes to make his selections. It’s almost like he wants to beat me. He’s quite the competitive cat.

I’ll have his official presidential race selection in the near future. I aksed him to pick several weeks ago and the pick refelected the polls at the time. I’m not giving anything away, but you can guess who he picked. I’ll ask him again next week.

His college picks: LSU over Georgia, Alabama over Tennessee and Penn State over Ohio State.

His NFL choices: Pittsburgh over the New York Giants and San Diego over New Orleans in the London game.

My picks: Georgia, Alabama, Penn State, Giants, San Diego.

Musa’s football record last week: 2-3 (he slumped in the college picks)
Musa’s baseball record: 3-3
Musa’s football record: 17-13
Musa’s overall record: 20-16

My football record last week: 2-3 (did better in college, but missed both NFL games)
My baseball record: 4-2
My football record: 16-14
My overall record: 20-16

My cat predicts the World Series

October 22nd, 2008, 11:40 am by Brad Milner

This by far is Musa’s biggest pick of the year. It’s the World Series after all, the grand spectacle that carries with it one of the most interesting stories for Major League Baseball in a long while.

You have the Philadelphia Phillies, who have lived with high expecations for years only to see it come to fruition this season. Then there are the Tampa Bay Rays, who dropped the “Devil” from their name and have advanced to third first World Series after losing every previous year of their existence.

Musa took longer to make this pick than others. Perhaps he understands the magnitude. Or maybe he was worried about the tape worm he contracted from a flea some three weeks ago.

Hey, come to think of it, maybe the tape worm had been giving him tips. Maybe they aren’t bad at all. Maybe they have predicting powers, too.

Maybe not. And you can be sure I won’t ask a tape worm its thoughts on college football. The tape worm is gone by the way, poor Musa. Man, he’s had a lot of medical issues but keeps ticking.

My cat’s football predictions (Round 5)

October 18th, 2008, 11:14 am by Brad Milner

Musa is feeling it with the college games. It’s like he went to college in another life. Or he watches TV when we’re away.

Anyhow, here we go for more.

His college picks this weekend: Clemson over Georgia Tech, Oklahoma over Kansas and Vandy over Georgia.

His NFL choices: N.Y. Jets over Oakland and New England over Denver.

My picks: Clemson, Oklahoma, Georgia, Jets, Denver.

Musa’s football record last week: 3-2 (hit all the college games again)
Musa’s baseball record: 2-3
Musa’s football record: 15-10
Musa’s overall record: 17-13

My football record last week: 1-4 (North Carolina was my only win)
My baseball record: 3-2
My football record: 14-11
My overall record: 17-13

My cat’s football predictions (Round 4)

October 12th, 2008, 10:53 am by Brad Milner

OK, so these are late, but I have a good excuse. Our corporate servers took a hit in Cali this weekend and it was at its worst Saturday morning, when I tried to post this. It also made posting Friday football impossible, which it still kinda is (they are working hard, as it hit every paper so be patient).

Now it will be increasingly obvious to anyone that I wasn’t cheating with my picks this week when you see what transpired. Musa is getting really good at the college choices.

Musa’s college picks (he liked the upset): Texas over Oklahoma, OK State over Missouri and North Carolina over Notre Dame (not technically an upset).

His NFL picks: Miami over Houston and Carolina over Tampa.

My picks: Oklahoma, Missouri and NC (which means he’s tied me), Miami and Carolina.

Musa’s football record last week: 3-2 (hit all the college games)
Musa’s baseball record: 1-3
Musa’s overall record: 13-11

My football record last week: 1-4 (Atlanta was my only win)
My baseball record: 2-2
My overall record: 15-9

My cat predicts the second round of the MLB playoffs

October 8th, 2008, 9:01 am by Brad Milner

The first round of the MLB playoffs is history, and along with them went the Chicago Cubs.

This was supposed to be their best chance in years to get back there. Instead, they channeled the ghosts of the past and played no better than a Little League team.

The only thing I have to say is I hope the Tampa Bay Rays don’t win the World Series. However, I fear they may do just that.

Baseball karma is a tricky thing. The Cubs have been snakebit, while teams like Florida have won two championships as an expansion team of all things. Now the Rays, losers every year of existence but this one, this one, appear ready to win it all. Yuck.

Anyhow, Musa was right on only one series in the first round: the Dodgers. He was 1 for 4.

I hit on the Rays and Phillies and missed the other two series.

The second round picks and current records follow after the jump. Refresh your memory to find out how I do this.

My cat’s football picks (Round 3)

October 3rd, 2008, 1:58 pm by Brad Milner

Musa took his time with his picks this week. He hedged on several games, and it was tough to read but he finally made a decision.

Read my past posts for the refresher on the method.

I guess he had the foresight about that Dodgers-Cubs series. Man, that’s depressing. The two worst games of the year all at the wrong time.

Anyhow, we both went 2-3 last week.

Picks after the jump:
