NFL Week 4- Princess Takes the Giants

Princess the Camel is on an impressive roll prognosticating NFL winners and losers this young season. After predicting the Oakland Raiders to upset the heavily favored NY Jets last Sunday, Princess has start off the season with 3 winners.

This week Princess has decided that the NY Giants are about ready to start on a roll of their own, she has chosen them to beat the Arizona Cardinals out in Pheonix this Sunday.


"I think the Giants finally got things straightened out John. The defense got it done last week and Eli only threw the balls to his own teammates, not the other team. So he might be on a roll." Princess said after revealing her choice to her handler John.

Being a Giants fan myself, I love Princess pick this week. I hope her 3 week winning streak as well as the Giants 2 game winning streak is extend Sunday.

The Giants certainly put a lot of critics to rest last week with their win over the Philadelphia Eagles it would be a real shame if they lost this game to the Cardinals and let all the naysayers and doubters return.

Football Friday: Princess Picks The Giants (Again)

Last week our prognosticating camel, Princess had a rough go of it. After picking the Giants defeat the Saints down in New Orleans where the Giant's defense was embarrassed, Princess record for predictions this year has dropped to 3-3, a .500 record.

So it is a bit of a surprise that she would go back to the well so soon and chose the Giants once again this week.

The Giants are at home this week to face the Arizona Cardinal in the Sunday night game on NBC.

Will the Giants defense have a better performance this week against the Cardinal's Kurt Warner and his high-flying receivers, Larry Fitzgerald and Antoine Boulden?

Here's what Princess had to say:

"... I know the Cardinals have one of the better quarterbacks in Warner, and he's real hot right now but, I don't think the Giants coaching staff is going to let that happen two weeks in a row. I wouldn't want to be one of the Giant defensive players this week during practice, the coaches probably have a lot of EXTRA work for them."

At the end of this NFL Week 7, Princess predictions will be either back on the positive side for the season or slip below the .500 mark for the first time since the openning week. For my sake and those of all Giants fans, I hope that the Giants and her prediction are winners this week.

Princess the Camel Picked Super Bowl XLIII Winning Steelers

Princess the Camel did it again.  The prognosticator of Popcorn Park Zoo, in choosing the Pittsburgh Steelers over the Arizona Cardinals, successfully picked the winner of Super Bowl XLIII.

In a game that went down to the wire and almost foiled Princess's prediction, the Steelers came from behind with about 2:38 left to play in the game,to defeat the Cardinal (and me) 27-23. 

Princess's record for picking the winner of NFL games this year finishes at a very impressive 17-5.

My record of picking winners on the other hand was not so good, out of the 11 games that made up this years NFL playoffs, my record was a dismal 3-8. 

The only pleasure that I receive from the outcome of this game, is in knowing that while the Cardinals did not emerge as winners of  Super Bowl XLIII, they did cover the point spread and as a result, I am now a few bucks richer than I was a few hours ago.

So lets hear it for the Pittsburgh Steelers, winners of their sixth Super Bowl title, the most out of any other team in the NFL.

It was a great NFL season, I already can't wait until the start of next season in order root for the Giants return to the big game.

Super Bowl XLIII Preview and Prediction

The following video from ESPN is a short preview of of Super Bowl XLIII, which as just about every knows by now features the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the Arizona Cardinals.

The video does not provide in depth analysis of the game itself but it does give you an idea of what these 2 teams are all about.



If anyone is truly interested in my pick for the game, I feel sorry for you. I really don't have much of a track record picking winners. However be that as it may, I am going against the general consensus and picking the Cardinals.

Why the Cardinals, no real rhyme or reason. I just have a feeling that this is a Cinderella team and Kurt Warner is this years Prince Charming.

The score:
Cardinals 27  Steelers 20

NFL Championship Sunday Predictions

Here are my predictions for the NFL's NFC and AFC Championship games, the winners of which will meet in the Super Bowl on February 1st.

Eagles vs. Cardinals

As stated last week after the game against the Giants, I feel that the Eagles will move onto the Super Bowl with a 24 - 19 victory over the Cardinals in Arizona. However, if Kurt Warner has great game and does not turn the ball over, I can see the results being reversed.

Steelers vs. Ravens

Jersey Joe Flacco's story book year is over after this game. The Steelers have beaten the Ravens handliy twice already this season and I see no reason to think otherwise here. Big Ben will do just enough to NOT lose the game and let the Pittsburgh defense control the game.

Steelers 23 Ravens 13

It should be an all Pennsylvania Super Bowl this year.

So Much for Princess....

Well, so much for Princess the pronosticating camel of Popcorn Park Zoo.

As everyone is by know well aware of, Princess predicted a Giant victory over the Eagles in their NFL Divisional playoff game today.

 Needless to say, many Giant fans (myself included) took her prediction as a good omen. After all, Princess's  record at predicting games this year stood at an outstanding 15-3 before today.

Unfortunately for Giant fans Princess got it wrong.

The Eagles soared over the Giants to a score of 23 -11 and wont stop flying until they touch down in Phoenix next Sunday to play the Cardinals in the NFC title game, the winner of which plays in the Superbowl February 1st. 

Kudous goes to the Eagle, today they were the better team and now have to be favored over the Cardinals to make it to the Superbowl.

Prediction for next week:

Eagles 24  Cardinals 19 

(just don't quote me on that, my record for picking winners this season terrible!)
