Princess The Camel Chooses Jets over Pats in Week 5

Week 5 of the NFL season is upon us and after starting the year off with a perfect 4-0 record, Princess the Camel of Popcorn Park Zoo, has decided to take the NY Jets this week over the New England Patriots with her weekly game pick.

Why is Princess taking the Jets over the Pats you ask after the Jets have lost their last 2 games? Well is seems that Princess is a big fan of the Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan and has this to say about him, “… Good old Rex Ryan has been jumping up and down, stomping his feet and screaming an hollering all week at Jets practice. He’ll have them ready. The Patriots won’t know what hit them”

Princess may be right about Ryan’s ability to scream and holler all week, but the Patriots won’t just roll over and make it easy for the Jets after losing last years playoff game against them. This will be a tough game that could go either way and will come down to turnovers in my opinion.

This week I think the Patriots will come out on top in that take away department and win the game handily, so we’ll see who is right on Sunday, Princess or me.

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.

Princess Says, Raiders Over The Jets This Week

After starting the 2001 NFL season off with a perfect 2-0 record pick record, this week Princess the Camel is picking the underdog Oakland Raiders to beat the NY Jets in their match-up out west this weekend.

When questioned by her handler John, as to why Princess decided to go out on a limb and make what would seems to be a reach in picking the Raiders this weekend Princess responded, “Hey, John, I’m pretty good at making a long stretch… Besides, what did you say earlier? “On any given Sunday”!!”

Is this a good pick by Princess; should we bet the house on it?

What do you think? I happen to agree, the Raiders are playing some good ball so far this season and I think they could surprise the Jets and pull this one off.

Princess The Camel Picks Jets Over Jags For Week Two

For all you football heads out there, week two of the NFL season is upon us and that prognosticating camel of Popcorn Park Zoo, Princess, is at it again; predicting the winners from the area’s 3 NFL team, Giants, Jets & Eagle.

This is Princesses fourth season of making game predictions and if you have followed her through the years like I have, you know that she has an uncanny ability at picking game winners. That’s why I try and devote post to her picks each week during the NFL season.

To open the season last week, Princess correctly chose the NY Jets to beat the Dallas Cowboy on Sunday night.

This week Princess goes to the well again and chooses the NY Jets to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars, having this to say of the Jets and their coach Rex Ryan after coming back from a 10 point deficit to beat the Cowboys, “…whatever he’s selling, his players are buying, and they are playing real hard for him….”.

That seems like a good enough reason for me, now let’s see if it pans out on Sunday.

>Same Old Jets – Princess’s Prediction Comes True

>

Unfortunately for Jets fan all around the Country, Princess the Camel got this one correct. On Friday, the prognosticating camel of Popcorn Park Zoo, picked the Steelers to defeat the Jets in the NFL’s AFC Title game.

It’s the day after and all I can say is that nothing new has happened with the Jets, they are still the same old , snake bitting team they have always been. For the second time in as many seasons they lost in AFC Championship Game, the last hurdle to the Superbowl.

I think Princess was onto something, maybe all that trash talking by Rex Ryan and the hype that came from being on HBO’s sports anthology show “Hard Knocks” earlier this season was just to much to bare. Maybe now, Ryan has had that chip knocked off his shoulder and has learned that you should make promises that you can’t deliver on.

Even though I am a Giants fan and predicted a Steeler victory (24-17) which was nearly spot on, I really wanted the Jets to win and extend the football season for all NY fans. It is always more exciting to have a hometown team involved in a championship game or series. Having the Jets in the Superbowl, even though I would have been jealous, would have been exciting.

Oh well, as they say, better luck next year Jets. This just wasn’t your time to soar.

Football Friday: Princess Picks The Jets over Jags in Week 10

This week’s Princess pick is posted a little later than normal so I hope you still have time to get to your bookies.

It’s week 10 in the NFL and Princess is on a winning streak, she has chosen game winners each of the past two weeks to bring her record to 5-4, does she continue her winning ways this week? We’ll have to wiat til Sunday to find out.

For her week 10 NFL prediction, Princess the Camel has chosen the Jets to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Meadowlands.

So Princess do you really think that the Jets can pull it off this week?

…”they had a bye last week so that gave them two weeks to straighten that mess out. I think coach Ryan will have them ready….”

Well Princess, we’ll just have to see about that!
