LAST WEEK: 12-4 :: OVERALL: 140-83-1
Can you really believe how short the NFL season is? Baseball spans most of the year. Hockey seems to as well. Basketball is definitely not short. But the NFL season is a mere 17 weeks long. Seems to always go by WAY too quickly.
I’m getting better as the weeks go along. But there are some seriously difficult picks this weekend! Let’s take a look.
Any other year, this would have been a tough pick. And it ended up being a close game. But the Colts are streaking, and the Jags are not. And Manning seems to be able to overcome any weaknesses his team has. WINNER: Indianapolis.
This is a really good matchup. Two very good defenses. One great. And two offenses that can score when they need to, edge to Dallas there. Hmm. Really tough. Both teams want it, too. I just think Dallas has been too erratic this season. WINNER: Baltimore
San Diego still has talent, but west coast teams are still not doing well on the east coast this season, and Tampa still has a great defense. WINNER: Tampa Bay
Detroit is well on its way to 0-16. Drew Brees in a dome? Yeah. WINNER: New Orleans
Miami has a great shot at winning the AFC East only one season after going 1-15! WINNER: Miami
West coast team playing at East coast team… AFC East rolls on. WINNER: New England
Two teams playing for next season. WINNER: San Francisco
Game of the week. Could be a preview of the AFC Championship. (Gotta leave room for Indy.) In the end, Pittsburgh is better overall. Defense equals Tennessee’s, offense is better. WINNER: Pittsburgh
Not been a good year for Ohio. Going with the hot team. Bengals win their second straight. WINNER: Cincinnati
The Jets have been struggling the last several weeks. Should have lost to the Bills last week, but for JP Losman and Dick Jauron. I think they will struggle on the road against Seattle, and could lose. Jets are the safe pick, but… WINNER: Seattle
Houston has been playing well. And now they get to play Oakland. WINNER: Houston
Not sure the talent is two games different (like their records) but Buffalo does not do well in cold, and they are the ones traveling, and Denver can win their division with a win. The Bills just don’t beat playoff teams, no matter how suspect. However, in the Bills favor, they are getting Edwards back, and Lynch has been running really well – and the Broncos defense is atrocious. This one really could go either way. I think I’ve landed on… WINNER: Buffalo
Another pretty good game here. Two teams playing well. Can Atlanta stop Peterson? Can Minnesota stop Ryan? Going with the home team. WINNER: Minnesota
NFC East battles are always fun. Philly is back, and Washington seems to be fading. WINNER: Philadelphia
Another great game! Both teams have had fantastic years, but Giants are on a bit of a slide. I am going with the upset. WINNER: Carolina
Green Bay started out well. WINNER: Chicago
Bills could win their last game of the season this week. Here’s hopin…
