week 12

I hit on 2 out of 3 picks on the Thanksgiving day games. The 1 miss of course was the Cowboy Redskin game. I thought that RG3 would be a Cowboy killer in future years but as Thursday's game showed and unfortunately for Cowboy fans, it looks like he's getting an early start. Below are my picks for the rest of the games this week.
Denver 24 Chiefs 7 (16). Peyton Manning against Brady Quinn. Give me a break.
Titans 20 Jaguars 14 (6). Will they even televise this game
Colts 28 Bills 14 ( 14). Luck will get back on track.
Bengals 24 Raiders 10 (15). Are you glad you left Cincinnati now Carson Palmer
Steelers 14 Browns 10 (3). I'm tempted to pick the Browns for an upset but can't quite do it.
Bears 17 Vikings 14 (9). Bears at home win with defense.
Seattle 20 Dolphins 17 (11) . Seattle finally figures out how to win on the road.
Falcons 21 Bucs 17 (12). Atlanta knows how to win the close ones.
Baltimore 28 Chargers 10 (13). The Ravens defense is struggling but Phillip Rivers can make any defense look good.
Arizona 17 Rams 14 (2).
49ers 21 Saints 20 (10). I like Colin Kapernick
Giants 24 Packers 20 (4). This is not an  upset pick. The Giants play at their best when they're on the ropes.
Carolina 28 Eagles 14 (5). I don't see the Eagles decline stopping this week

thanksgiving picks

Turkey Day is tomorrow and now there are 3 games we get to watch. I guess all those games with Detroit and Dallas were putting everyone to sleep after their thanksgiving dinner so why not add another night game. Below are my picks for tomorrow's games.
Houston 27 Detroit 20 (7). I'm worried that Houston struggled to beat Jacksonville last week but they should rebound against a team that almost always disappoints. Speaking of disappointing
Dallas 21 Redskins 17 (1). These two teams have been disappointing their fans for years and both teams are pretty average this year.RG3 will be owning the Cowboys soon but not tomorrow.
Patriots 20 Jets 14 (8). Patriots will have trouble without Gronkowski but I'm banking on Brady to find a way to win.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving everybody

week 11

I am 1 and 0 picking Buffalo with a confidence level of 3 but this week is the hardest week to pick with close matchups and multiple injuries to key players.
Dallas 21 Cleveland 14 (5). I would have a higher confidence level if Dallas played to their abilities but they never do.
Houston 30 Jaguars 10 (14). Texans keep rolling.
Rams 20 Jets 14 (7). I think the Jets will spiral downward the rest of the season.
Bucaneers 21 Panthers 10 (9). Bucaneers have definitely improved since the start of the season.
Falcons 30 Cardinals 20 (13). Falcons take out their only loss of the season last week on the Cardinals.
Green Bay 27 Lions 24 (6). Without Clay Matthews Aaron Rodgers will be on the top of his game.
Redskins 20 Eagles 14 (1). I've gone back and forth on this one.
Bengals 20 Chiefs 7 (10).
Saints 27 Raiders 14 (12). The Saints are getting back on track.
Patriots 24 Colts 17 (11). Luck is improving every day but it won't be enough to match how Brady will play.
Broncos 28 Chargers 7(8). Peyton has struggled against the Chargers but Denver is surging.
Ravens 20 Steelers 17 (4). Close game in Pittsburgh but Rothlisberger's injury is too much for the Steelers to overcome.
49ers 17 Bears 14 (2). Two very good defenses going at it facing 2nd string quarterbacks. 49ers have the home field advantage and squeak this one out due to Cutler being out.

week 10

My rivals can verify that I picked the Colts to beat Jacksonville with a confidence level of 7 (I should have made it more . Below are the rest of my picks.
lions 21 vikings 13(4). Adrian Peterson can't carry his team forever.
Falcons 20 Saints 17 (5). Saints are improving but Atlanta knows how to win the close games.
Giants 24 Bengals 13 (8). Eli has been terrible the last two weeks. He gets back in his groove tomorrow.
Ravens 27 Raiders 17 (9). Big day coming for Flacco.
Patriots 30 Bills 7 (14). The Patriots will surge in November.
Dolphins 21 Titans 17 (10).
Bucaneers 20 Chargers 14 (3). Tampa Bay will create turnovers which isn't difficult with Rivers at quarterback.
Broncos 30 Carolina 10 (13). Peyton is close to his original self.
Seahawks 28 Jets 7 (12). Same reason I gave for the Bucs Chargers game applies here multiplied 5 times over. Sanchez will have the worst game of his career.
49er 24 Rams 10 (11).
Cowboys 23 Eagles 14 (2). Both teams have been disappointing but the Eagles decline looks more severe.
Bears 17 Texans 14 (1). Great matchup. Two teams with outstanding defenses. Home team barely prevails.
Steelers 17 Chiefs 7 (6).

week 9

I already  texted my opponents that the Chargers would beat the Chiefs but my confidence level was 1. I need to solidify my lead and below are the rest of my picks.
Dolphins 20 Colts 13 (8). Miami's defense is rising
Houston 28 Bills 10 (14). Houston keeps rollling.
Browns 20 Ravens 17 (2). Might look like an upset but the Ravens defense can no longer stop the run. Trent Richardson will have a big game.
Broncos 24 Bengals 20 (5). Peyton will find a way to win.
Bears 27 Titans 14 (11). Cutler will have a big game.
Lions 20 Jaguars 14 (9).
Packers 35 Cardinal 17 (13). Cardinals are falling fast.
Redskins 20 Panthers 17(4). RG3 slightly better than Cam Newton is the difference here.
Seahawks 28 Vikings 7 (12). Seahawks are almost unbeatable at home.
Bucaneers 20 Raiders 17 (7).
Giants 17 Steelers 13 (6). I'm counting on another 4th quarter victory from Eli.
Dallas 27 Atlanta 17(3).I may look as stupid as Jason Garrett's 4th quarter coaching with this pick but Dallas historically plays good in the month of November and Atlanta is slightly overrated.
Saints 27 Eagles 14 (10). This will be Michael Vick's last game as starting QB with the Eagles.
