Overall: 117-81 Spread: 32-28-1
Falcons 30, Steelers 27 --- I have an awful feeling bout this game. At this point Julio Jones is still a game-time decision, so my opinion might change if I know he's inactive but at the moment I'm assuming he will give it a go. If number 11 is active, the Steelers have no chance of stopping him. A.J. Green destroyed the Steelers secondary last week and Julio could very well do the same thing. I know most of you readers aren't Steelers fans but Mike Mitchell is the worst player in the NFL and he currently starts at safety for the Steelers. He's cocky even though he accomplishes nothing on the field. Anyways, the Steelers are 1-2 against the terrible NFC South. A loss today to the 5-8 Falcons will likely end their playoffs hopes. It's a must win but these are the games the Steelers have been losing all year long.
Giants 24, Redskins 14 --- The Redskins are a complete debacle. I feel bad for Jay Gruden, who may lose his job. It's all Daniel Synder's fault. He doesn't know how to own a team. I don't understand why every owner doesn't just shadow Bob Craft or the Rooney's or the Ravens guy and a few others the minute they buy the team. It seems pretty simple. Just learn from the best. Anyways, the Giants will probably win out to finish 7-9 to save Coughlin's job, while simultaneously messing up their chances at having a top ten pick.
Patriots 28, Dolphins 20 --- A couple things about this game. I'd be shocked if the Patriots lose this game. The Dolphins have not swept the season series against the Patriots since 2000. That being said I also don't think the Patriots will blow out the Dolphins and cover the nine-point spread. The Dolphins defense is very good and they have the ability to pressure the quarterback, which could fluster TFB. In the end though, the Patriots should get the win to clinch the AFC East.
Chiefs 26, Raiders 17 --- After five straight wins, the Chiefs have dropped three straight and are on the verge of elimination. The Raiders have won two of three, with one of those wins coming over the Chiefs. I don't see win number three coming today for the Raiders though. They are 0-6 on the road and with the Chiefs having their backs against the wall, I'm taking the home team.
Colts 34, Texans 20 --- I don't think either of these teams are good. Here are the seven opponents the Texans have beaten, Titans twice, Jaguars, Browns, Bills, Raiders, and Redskins. Here are the Colts nine victories, Jaguars twice, Redskins, Browns, Bengals, Ravens, Texans, Titans, Giants. So the best win between the two teams is a win over the Bengals or Ravens, who both have been up and down. The Colts have Andrew Luck so they are better than the Texans and will win an clinch the AFC South today, but I'm not expecting them to go anywhere in the playoffs.
Ravens 27, Jaguars 10 --- The Ravens have been blowing out bad teams this season. The Jaguars are 0-6 on the road and are in the race for the number one pick. The Ravens got a huge win last week against the Dolphins and with the Jags, Texans, and Browns remaining on their schedule they have a great chance to get to 11-5.
Packers 27, Bills 20 --- The Bills defense is very good. Last week they allowed only 24 to the Broncos in Denver. The 24 points was the most they've allowed since October 12 when the Patriots hung 37 on them. The Packers offense is equally as impressive, having scored 40 or more points three times in their past five games. I'll take the Packers on the road.
Panthers 24, Buccaneers 17 --- The Panthers have already beaten the Bucs with Derek Anderson at quarterback. At 4-8-1 they are somehow still alive and I think that's the reason I'll take them today. Their blowout win over the Saints last week may have been a turning point for them. That and the Bucs haven't scored more than 17 points in their past three games.
Browns 34, Bengals 24 --- CLE -2 All in on JFF. I don't know why the Bengals are even going to show up. The little man is going to be running all over the place and throwing up money signs every five plays. Josh Gordon is going to have a huge day now that he doesn't have Brian Hoyer throwing to him. Plus it would also help the Steelers if the Bengals were to lose again. So help me out one time Brownies.
Jets 25, Titans 18 --- Aren't you pumped to watch this one? The 2-11 Toilet Bowl!!! The Titans have lost seven games in a row and have gotten destroyed the past three weeks. The Jets aren't all that great either at 0-6 on the road. I'll take the Jets because it would be such a Jet thing to do to win two of their final three to get to 4 wins and ruin their chances of getting a top three pick. I also think that the Titans are worse than the Jets if that's possible.
Broncos 28, Chargers 24 --- SD +5.5 Ever since the Broncos got beaten by the Rams, they have not been blowing teams out. They should have Julius Thomas back at near 100% today but Peyton Manning hasn't thrown for over 200 yards in the past two weeks. Maybe they are ready to have a big game passing but the Chargers are good at home. They also need to keep winning to remain in the playoffs. I'll take the Broncos to win but I think the Chargers cover and possibly win.
Seahawks 17, 49ers 13 --- SF +10 I think the 49ers are done. Harbaugh is on his way out and who knows if Kaepernick will ever be the same as he was during their Super Bowl run. The Seahawks are rolling, having allowed only 20 points total over the past three weeks. With all that being said give me the Niners +10. This is a rivalry game similar to the Steelers/Ravens. These two teams hate each other and if the Niners have any heart at all they show up today and give the Seahawks a battle.
Lions 24, Vikings 14 --- The Vikings are 5-5 with Teddy Bridgewater as their starting quarterback, however they are 1-3 on the road with Teddy. That win came over the Bucs. The Vikings lost 17-3 to the Lions earlier in the season. I'll take the Lions, who need to keep winning to keep pace the NFC.
Eagles 34, Cowboys 24 --- PHI -3.5 I just can't take the Cowboys against the Eagles just a few weeks after witnessing them get destroyed at home on Thanksgiving. The Cowboys are 6-0 on the road this year but the Eagles are 6-1 at home. An Eagles win basically give them a 1.5 game lead in the NFC East. I also don't think that Jason Garrett will make any big adjustments, while Chip Kelly most likely will. Give me the Eagles.
Saints 34, Bears 30 --- OVER 53.5 I have no idea about these two teams. I keep wanting to give the Saints the benefit of the doubt but they stink. You can't get destroyed at home against the Panthers like they did last week and be a good team. The Bears are a mess as well. People are calling out Jay Cutler. Their coach is likely finished in three weeks. I'll take the Saints but then again if it's cold and windy, the Bears could take it. Give me the over though.
Enjoy the games people.
