Saints at Falcons (PK)
Julio Jones had three catches last week for 131 yards and two touchdowns, and of course, I was going against him in one of my fantasy leagues. We haven’t seen this much efficiency in Atlanta work against me since the Braves choked away the wildcard to the Cardinals.
Pick: Saints
Bills at Cowboys (-5.5)
Some astute football writer wrote a beautiful piece on the Bills’ loss at home to the Jets. If they can win this game, that loss won’t mean quite as much, but I think it may have been the beginning of the end of their fairy-tale season.
Pick: Bills
Steelers at Bengals (+3.5)
The Bengals finally get to play the hard part of their schedule. So far, Andy Dalton and the Bengals have a remarkable 6-2 record and haven’t even broken a sweat. Assuming that, gingers can sweat.
Pick: Steelers
Rams at Browns (-2.5)
We’ll know a lot about the Rams after this game, because if they can lose to the Browns, then they REALLY are going all in for SUCKFORLUCK.
Pick: Browns
Broncos at Chiefs (-3.5)
The Chiefs won four in a row before they lost at home 31-3 to the previously winless Miami Dolphins. The Broncos, meanwhile, seeing that the Chiefs couldn’t stop the team that made the wildcat famous, will now try their QB option attack on them.
Pick: Chiefs
Titans at Panthers (-2.5)
I can’t for the life of me figure out the Titans this year, so I’ll focus on the Panthers. Cam Newton has impressed me in every one of his games, yet somehow only has two wins. I’m just going to continue the trends. Cam plays great, but Titans inexplicably have one of their amazing games, and then look bad for the next two weeks.
Pick: Titans (and to win)
Jaguars at Colts (+2.5)
Colts fans are rumored to now be wearing Luck jerseys to games. But here’s a fun fact: The Colts actually have the higher rated QB in this game. Colts get the win, and the SUCKFORLUCK campaign becomes a race again.
Pick: Colts (and to win)
Redskins at Dolphins (-3.5)
There are a ridiculous amount of 3.5 or 2.5 spreads this week. It’s like Vegas got lazy or something. Unlike this blog. I never mail it in….
Pick: Dolphins
Cardinals at Eagles (-13.5)
Wouldn’t it be awkward if Kevin Kolb plays and then plays better than Vick??
Pick: Cardinals
Texans at Bucs (+3.5)
Did you know that the Texans would be the two seed right now in the AFC? But do you really think the Steelers, Jets, Patriots, or Ravens are shaking in their boots thinking “Boy I really hope we don’t have to go TO Houston in the playoffs!”
Pick: Texans
Ravens at Seahawks (+7.5)
This is such an obvious trap game for Baltimore that I will assume your football knowledge and familiarity with my philosophies made you already recognize it and thus I won’t have to say anything about it. That being said, I’m picking the Ravens.
Pick: Ravens
Lions at Bears (-2.5)
You know what was pretty hard to watch? Jay Cutler making pure, crisp, beautiful, clutch throws against the Philly secondary on Monday Night and just thinking, “what if?”
Pick: Bears
Giants at 49ers (-3.5)
I, Adam Romanofsky, am finally officially a believer in Eli Manning and the Giants. If the 49ers win this game, I will be one of them too. So, I hope the Giants win, because I don’t know what I’m going to do if I label Eli Manning and a team with Alex Smith as legit in back-to-back weeks.
Pick: Giants (and to win)
Patriots at Jets (-1.5)
A lot of proving is at stake for the Jets. Last week, the Jets proved they were contenders. This week, they can prove they are the best in the division. Next week, they can prove that AFC West teams should not be playing on primetime (even if it is the NFL Network).
Pick: Jets
Vikings at Packers (-13.5)
Everyone is bashing the Packers defense but they are actually doing their job. They get off the field quickly and give the ball back to Aaron Rodgers so he can continue his ridiculous season. Of course, half the time their getting burned for touchdowns, but still, the ball is back in Rodgers’ hands quickly, is it not?
Pick: Vikings
Last Week:
Spread: 7-7
Non Spread: 7-7
Season:
Spread: 69-61
Non Spread: 85-44
Thursday: 0-1 (0-1)
