Looks like I was too preoccupied with my Christmas references. I was a pathetic 7 and 9 last week but I do plan on finishing strong with the final weak of the season that will include games with playoff implications.
Carolina 21 Atlanta 17 (10). Carolina has been a pleasant surprise and Atlanta has been a major disappointment.
Bengals 24 Ravens 17 (9). At home the Bengals are too much for an ailing Joe Flacco.
Titans 20 Houston 14 (1). Both teams can't wait for the season to end.
Colts 24 Jaguars 3 (16).
Dolphins 28 Jets 7 (15). The Jets will still keep Ryan.
Vikings 24 Lions 21 (3). The real underachieving Lions took a while to show up this season but their underachieving ways are in 5th gear now.
Giants 20 Redskins 14 (4). Danny Snyder has ruined another NFL coach.
Steelers 21 Browns 17 (6).
Bears 30 Packers 27 (5). Hard game to pick especially with Aaron Rodgers returning but I'm saying a prayer and counting on Jay Cutler to rebound from last weeks loss.
Broncos 28 Raiders 21 (14). Oakland is healthy and Broncos are without Welker but Denver is still the much better team.
Patriots 24 Bills 17 (13). Patriots need to win to have any hope of home field advantage in the playoffs.
Saints 35 Bucs 17 (12). Saints play better at home.
Cardinals 20 49ers 17 (7). Cardinals need to win to have a shot at the playoffs and they'll get it.
Chargers 27 Chiefs 17 (8).
Seahawks 23 Rams 14 (11).
Eagles 30 Dallas 21 (2). The most overhyped game. The winner will make the playoffs but having either of these two teams in the playoffs is like throwing lambs to the slaughter house. Dallas without Romo and with their god awful defense will not be able to keep up with Philly.

week 16 yule tide games
Tis the season to be jolly. For defensive players in the NFL it has to be hard to be that way since Commissioner Goodell has decided to be the Grinch that stole football by creating even more penalties and fining players for hits that were legal in prior years. Pretty soon there may be a rule that quarterbacks can no longer be sacked and that defensive players can only hit them with Christmas stockings. With that said below are my picks with more Christmas references starting with Miami playing in Buffalo where I'm sure Bills fans don't want to hear the lyrics "let it snow let it snow let it snow".
Miami 24 Bills 17 (6).Grandma got runover by a reindeer walking home from our house Christmas eve and the Bills will feel like they've been run over by a hundred reindeers. L
Bengals 28 Vikings 14 (10). For Adrian Peterson to keep coming back from these injuries so quick, he must be taking whatever that stuff Santa gives his reindeers to make them fly. It still won't be enough to beat the Bengals. W
Chiefs 28 Colts 13 (11). The ghost of Christmas present is finally showing Chiefs fans something they want to see. L
Tampa Bay 20 Rams 14 (2). Mild upset with two weak teams. Tampa will beat up the Rams the way Ralphie beat up Scott Farkus. L
Cleveland 17 Jets 13 (3). In summer's sun and winter's snow the New York Jets will always blow. L
Washington 24 Dallas 23 (1). Fans of both teams need the the ghost of Christmas past to go a long way back to show them when these teams were actually good. L
Carolina 30 Saints 14 (14). Panther's defense is like two of Santa's reindeers. Fast as Comet and alot of Blitzen. W
Jacksonville 20 Titans 10 (4). Sleep in heavenly peace. That's what viewers of this game will be doing once it starts. L
Denver 35 Texans 14 (16). Frosty the snowman was made of snow and the children know that he came to life one day. Too bad in Houston fans are still waiting for the Texans to come to life this season. W
Lions 21 Giants 3 (14). Frosty also had two eyes made out of coal and Eli Manning after this game will have two eyes as black as coal.L
Seattle 23 Cardinals 7 (13). Peace on earth and mercy mild. Not for opposing teams playing in Seattle. Arizona will be playing on a scorched earth with punishment wild. L
Steelers 20 Packers 17 (3). May look like an upset but Green Bay got their Christmas gift last week from the Cowboys and the Steelers have been telling Santa to give them a victory and to save all his toys for the little rich boys (if you don't get that reference listen to The Kinks song "Father Christmas". It's awesome) W
Chargers 30 Oakland 14 (9) . It's a miracle that Phillip Rivers is actually playing good this season. With Christmas being the time of miracles, it should carry on this weekend. W
Baltimore 24 Patriots 20 (8). Without Gronkowski the Patriots will have a harder time winning than Santa riding his sleigh on a foggy Christmas eve without Rudolph's shiny red nose. L
Bears 23 Eagles 14 (7). Eagles should never have a victory at this time of year when they have fans that boo Santa Claus. L
49ers 35 Falcons 17 (15). The ghost of Christmas future is showing another long playoff run for the 49ers. W
Merry Christmas everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6 WINS AND 10 LOSSES 67 POINTS

week 15
Denver let me down losing to San Diego. The confidence level was 6 and this week has games that will have play off ramifications. L
Falcons 21 Redskins 20 (1). Two of the most disappointing teams playing each other. Cousins will have a good game but not quite good enough. W
Bears 24 Browns 17 (8). Cutler better have a good game if he wants to remain starter. W
Colts 28 Texans 14 (14). W
Dolphins 27 Patriots 20 (3). The Patriots have been barely getting by against below average teams and getting help from the officials. No Gronk will mean no win. W
Eagles 30 Vikings 14 (12). Eagles are picking up their game at the right time. L
Seahawks 20 Giants 7 (16). Even if Seattle isn't as good on the road the Giants are packing it in this season. W
49ers 21 Bucs 20 (4). TB has been playing well lately but SF will avoid the upset at the last minute of the game. W
Jaguars 20 Bills 14 (5). W
Chiefs 28 Raiders 10 (13). Chiefs have only beaten teams with losing records. It shouldn't stop now. W
Panthers 35 Jets 10 (15). The Jets offense will get decimated. W
Cowboys 24 Packers 21 (2). Cowboys won't have their best defensive player (Lee) but the Packers won't have their best offensive player (Rodgers). L
Cardinals 28 Titans (11). If the Cardinals were in the NFC east they would be in first place easily. W
Saints 23 Rams 17 (10).L
Bengals 27 Steelers 14 (9). If the Bengals can get more focus and confidence they will be in the superbowl. L
Ravens 21 Detroit 17 (7). Detroit has more talent but no discipline. Better coaching prevails for the Ravens W
11 WINS AND 5 LOSSES 97 POINTS

week 14
I picked the Texans to win with a confidence of 1 so I'm off to a bad start. There are some great match ups this weekend and below are my picks. L
Bengals 28 Colts 17 (10). Bengals defense will be too much for Luck.W
Packers 20 Atlanta 14 (2). This looked like a great matchup at the start of the season.W
Patriots 28 Browns 10 (16). Too easy to pick.W
Raiders 21 Jets 6 (4). Jets are done and Ryan will get fired.L
Lions 28 Eagles 20 (5). This is not an upset. Foles has been getting lucky and the turnovers start tomorrow. L
Steelers 21 Dolphins 14 (6). Stay off the field Tomlin. L
Bucaneers 24 Bills 14 (8). It's way too late but Tampa Bay has been playing very good football the last month. W
Chiefs 21 Redskins 14 (11). I'm sick of hearing about RG3 now. W
Ravens 28 Vikings 17 (13). Ravens could make one last push. W
Denver 35 Titans 10 (15). Mile high numbers for Demarius Thomas this game. W
Arizona 24 Rams 17 (12). Cardinals must win out.W
Chargers 21 Giants 17 (7). W
49ers 27 Seahawks 23 (5). Love this match up. These are the two best teams in the NFL. The 49ers are at home and will have revenge on their mind and Jim Harbough won't let Pete Carroll beat him two times in a row this season. W
Saints 24 Panthers 21(9). The 3rd and 4th best teams in the NFL going at it. At home the Saints are almost as unbeatable as the Seahawks. W
Cowboys 27 Bears 20 (3). Two barely average teams playing Monday night. I'll take the Cowboys and watch a Christmas movie instead of this boring game L
11 Wins 5 Losses
