week 16

Christmas is upon us and the next to last week of the NFL season will have some great matchups with teams fighting to get into the playoffs. I am already 1 and 0 with Pittsburgh's victory yesterday and below are the rest of my picks.
Dallas 27 Cardinals 13 (12). Even though Christmas is the season of giving and the cowboys season is over they won't be giving away a victory to Arizona.
Patriots 20 Bills 14 (14). Buffalo is improving every week but they are not in the same league with New England.
Bears 17 Jets 14 (1). Toughest game to pick. Don't like the way Sanchez plays in the cold weather.
Ravens 21 Browns 13 (11). Ravens defense needs to be in top form here.
KC 24 Tennesse 10 (10).
Rams 20 49ers 17 (3). Tough to big a game with two teams in the NFC west.
Detroit 20 Dolphins 14 (2). Dolphins record at home is atrocious.
Jacksonville 21 Redskins 17 (5). Would be more confident if Maurice Jones Drew was playing.
SD 30 Bengals 14 (15). A must win for the Chargers and they won't blow it in this game.
Houston 20 Denver 14 (4). Prove me wrong Tebow.
Raiders 20 Colts 17 (6). Colts will have Joseph Adai back but no Austin Colley will lead to Manning throwing some costly interceptions.
Green Bay 24 Giants 21 (7). Aaron Rodgers return will be too much for the reeling Giants to overcome.
Bucaneers 17 Seahawks 14 (8).
Eagles 30 Vikings 14 (13). The only thing the Eagles will be giving to the Vikings is more pain.
Atlanta 21 Saints 17 (9). Atlanta is at home and seldom ever turnsover the ball. That is the difference here.

start of week 16

Last week was a disappointing 7 and 9 last week with 75 points . For the season I have 137 wins and 87 losses with 1192 points.
First game this week is thursday.
Steelers 31 Panthers 10 (16). Steelers recover from a tough loss to the Jets

week 15

I was 12 and 4 last week with 99 points. This week has the closest matchups I've seen all season. I am already 1 and 0 with 8 confidence points since I picked San Diego to win thursday and here are the rest of my picks.
Browns 28 Bengals 21 (9). Bengals are now the most disappointing team this season.
Dallas 30 Redskins 14 (12). If the Cowboys lose to a team with Rex Grossman at QB, their fans attending the game should demand their money back.
Texans 24 Titans 7 (11). Tennessee has quit on the season.
Jaguars 21 Colts 17 (2). Maurice Jones Drew will have a big game.
Chiefs 20 Rams 14 (3). Cassel was activated so the Chiefs should win.
Dolphins 24 Bills 17 (5). Miami squeaks by an improving Buffalo team.
Giants 17 Eagles 14 (1). Giants pass rush will knock Vick out of the game.
Bucaneers 14 Lions 7 (6). Another tough one but I can't see the Lions winning two in a row.
Cardinals 20 Panthers 13 (10)
Saints 23 Ravens 20 (4). Brees will be at his best.
Falcons 27 Seahawks 10 (16). Falcons are still the best team in the NFC.
Raiders 30 Broncos 10 (14). Broncos are in disarray.
Steelers 28 Jets 14 (13). I think the Jets are about to lose their season.
Patriots 30 Packers 14 (15). No Aaron Rodgers and no chance for the Pack.
Chicago 27 Vikings 14 (7). Favre will be on the sideline saying to himself why didn't I stay retired.

week 14

Close matchups this week with teams trying to solidify their playoff chances.
Buffalo 17 Cleveland 14 (1). Tough game to pick since both teams are improving.
Steelers 27 Bengals 7 (16). Bengals are currently the worst team in football.
Packers 24 Lions 17 (12). Lions will challenge but the Packers will play with a sense of urgency since they need to win to have a chance to win the NFC central.
Giants 28 Vikings 14 (14). Favre will play with a bad shoulder and throw more interceptions.
Tampa Bay 20 Redskins 10 (13). Redskins decline goes into 5th gear.
Atlanta 30 Carolina 14 (15). Atlanta has been consistently good almost all year.
Jaguars 20 Raiders 17 (8).
Seattle 20 49ers 14 (3). NFC West should be caled NFC Worst. One of these teams will make it to the playoffs and neither should.
Saints 31 Rams 17 (11). Rams will compete here but the Saints have too many offensive weapons.
Jets 17 Dolphins 13 (9).
Denver 20 Arizona 17 (4). Two bad teams here. I just flipped a coin on this.
Chargers 24 Chiefs 14 (10). Matt Cassal had an emergency apendectomy and won't play. Chargers will take advantage.
Patriots 21 Bears 17 (5). Bears are very good at pressuring the quarterback but Tom Brady is playing at his best right now.
Eagles 21 Cowboys 20 (2). Vick's ability to scramble and Dez Bryant being out for the rest of the season are the reasons the Eagles squeak by.
Ravens 20 Texans 14 (7)

1st pick

At this point I am 118 and 74 with 1018 points. Another early game thursday with two struggling teams.
Colts 24 Titans 14 (6).

result

Another solid week for me. I went 12 and 4 with 113 points.

week 13

Another near perfect week for me last week. I was 13 and 3 with 120 points . I even had one score picked exactly right. See my pick on the Atlanta vs Packers game. My record this year is 106 and 70 with 905 points. This week looks to have some of the most exciting games this season here are my picks.
Colts 24 Cowboys 23 (1). I've gone back and forth with this one. Peyton Manning will make one last stand.
Saints 30 Bengals 14 (15). One team reaching its peak, the other about to hit rock bottom.
Bears 24 Lions 7 (10). Lions using a third string quarterback have no chance.
Packers 35 49ers 17 (16). Packers won't lose two games in a row.
Jaguars 30 Titans 10 (11). Titans are in the same boat with Detroit.
Chiefs 28 Broncos 20 (7).
Miami 24 Browns 20 (3). Cleveland is improving but will come up a little short in Miami.
Vikings 27 Bills 24 (2). Another tough game to pick. I'm looking for backup running back Toby Gearhart to have a big game for the Vikings.
Giants 24 Redskins 10 (8). Redskins weaknesses on offense will get exposed.
Chargers 30 Raiders 21 (14). Chargers surge continues.
Seattle 24 Panthers 17 (6).
Atlanta 27 Buccaneers 14 (13). Atlanta is the most consistent team this season.
Rams 34 Cardinals 20 (9). Sam Bradford should be considered for rookie of the year.
Ravens 20 Steelers 14 (5). Ravens at home and the Steelers with an injured quarterback is the difference here.
Patriots 27 Jets 20 (4). Entertaining game but I'll take the team with the better quarterback
