NFL Week 15 Picks

This week I am not only bored at work but I am also freezing. Its 20 degrees. Where is the snow? Anyways last week went pretty well, a solid 14-1 record. Plus i started off the bowl season with a 2-1 day, so things are going well. Read my picks, don't read my picks I really don't care.

Bills 27, Dolphins 21 --- The Bills have lost 6 straight but Miami just fired Tony Sparano and historically aren't a great road team when traveling north in December. I did just bench C.J. Spiller on my fantasy team so hopefully the Harvard QB does most of the damage against the Phins.

Seahawks 20, Bears 10 --- Seattle has been playing very well lately and Da Bears have not, they lost to Tyler Palko and the Chiefs. That says it all. Marshawn Lynch is going to make it rain Skittles on the road today. I have them winning outright so the +3.5 spread looks very very good.

Titans 24, Colts 13 --- The Colts are not going to win a game this year. The Titans need this game to stay in the playoff hunt. They will take care of business in Indy. (That prediction has I'm Dumb written all over it in the recap)

Packers 24, Chiefs 20 --- I think this game is going to be a lot closer than the 14 point spread. The Chiefs do get after the QB well and have Kyle Orton starting today. So they may be able to put up some points and slow down the MVP a little. I don't think the Chiefs pull off the upset but Arrowhead is a tough stadium to play in.

Bungals 21, Rams 6 --- Oh Bungals, things were going so well. You were 6-2, tied for the lead of the North and then you became the Bungals again. Luckily for you the Rams are god awful and they are starting Kellen Clemens today. However, I wouldn't put it past the Bungals to lose. (I like saying Bungals if you haven't noticed)

Saints 38, Vikings 24 --- The Saints are going to win this game. DREW BREEEEEEES. The Vikings are pretty terrible but last week they almost pulled off an amazing comeback against the Lions when Joe Webb became the QB. Adrian Peterson returns this week, why not let Joe Webb play? Just because Christian Ponder was a first round pick doesn't mean he should automatically be the starter.

Giants 28, Redskins 24 --- I'm actually a little nervous that the Giants lay an egg in this one. After their huge win in Dallas last week it wouldn't shock if the G-men come out flat. The Redskins won the first matchup week 1, 28-14. Plus its a rivalry game so the Redskins should be pumped up for a chance to ruin the Giants playoff hopes.

Panthers 24, Texans 16 --- UPSET SPECIAL. How long can the Texans really keep this run going? Everybody on the team is hurt, even the coaches are going down, Wade Phillips had surgery. I also trust Cam to have a big game, not only for my fantasy team and my upset special now, because he is beast. The Panthers have also been playing pretty well, they blew the game last week against the Falcons, but they have won 2 out of 3.

Raiders 28, Lions 27 --- I have ZERO idea who is going to win this game. I'll pick the Raiders since they are the home team but they have looked awful the past two weeks, outscored 80-30. I can't really trust the Lions either who nearly blew a huge lead against the Vikings. This one could go either way.

Broncos 34, Patriots 31 OVERTIME --- TIM TEBOW. I refuse to pick against TEBOW. Sure the Broncos could be in trouble if TFB gets the Pats off to hot start but lets be serious Rexy Grossman scored 27 points against the Patriots last week so Denver should be able to score and possibly keep pace with the Golden Boy. I also like the +9 for the Broncos. Denver has always been a good home team and thats a pretty large spread for a team that has won 6 in a row.

Jets 23, Eagles 21 --- Another New York team I'm worried for. The Dream Team looked good last week against the Dolphins with a healthy Mike Vick. But I will pick the Jets because the Eagles are only 1-5 at home. As long as they stick with the ground and pound and don't let Nacho blow the game they should be able to pull off a win.

Cardinals 21, Browns 9 --- The QB matchup everybody wants to see, Seneca Wallace vs John Skelton. The Cardinals have been playing very well, won 5 of 6, while the Browns have been terrible, lost 6 of 7. This one seems to be a win for the Cards, who still have a chance to actually sneak into the playoffs.

Chargers 31, Ravens 27 --- I cannot get over the stat that Phil Rivers is 24-2 in December/January games in his career. That's a pretty impressive stat. I also want the Ravens to lose and Joe Flacco to play terrible for crying about the media attention Tim Tebow gets. Bro, you are Joe Flacco you transferred out of Pitt to play at Delaware, you don't get the attention because your team wins games for you. Sure you have some good moments and can throw a great deep ball, but stop crying and play football. The entire Ravens team makes me SO MAD. All they do is whine and complain. Who cares if nobody is talking about your team, just go out and keep winning games.

Steelers 17, 49ers 12 --- That Ravens rant just got me pumped up. I'm a mad blogger right now. Look they just ruined the first lines of the Steelers game. Alright, at least this Monday Night Football is watchable. I don't know if Big Ben is going to play, which will determine the winner frankly because Charles Batch didn't look to good when he was forced to play last week, where is Dennis Dixon? No matter who plays QB for the Steelers, I still think it will be a close game because the Steelers should be able to shut down the 49ers offense. If the Ravens lose sunday night this will be the biggest game of the season for the Steelers.

I think I gave a solid effort on this blog. The only problem is its done and I still have 2 more hours of work. The boredom begins again. Hopefully I picked some winners, I'll write the recap on Monday night or Tuesday.
