To those of you wanting my pick for Thursday night games, I’m sorry that I haven’t been putting those up, but this week was a fairly easy pick with the Steelers and Chargers. We are in week 12 and if teams are going to make a run for it, now is the time. Around the league Chad Ocho Cinco is whining like the little girl that he is and was suspended for the Steelers games. On to this week.
Texans and Browns
Brady Quinn is 1-1 but Steve Slaton is also ripping up the turf. The Browns have allowed over 95 points in their last 3 games so beware of this one. You know how i feel about Sage Rosenfels so i’m liking the Browns in this one. Brady Quinn is jacked. And dammit please find Braylon Edwards this week in the endzone.
Texans 17, Browns 21
49′ers and Cowboys
Romo is back and playing with 9 fingers. The win against Washington was a big one, but the more important part is that the Boys’ only allowed 10 points in the match. The 49′ers are by no means offensive powerhouses so look for the Boys’ to run up the score if their D can hold up. Frank Gore will be battered and bruised after this one. T.O. will get 3TD’s so he can stop complaining about production.
49′ers 17, Cowboys 31.
Bills and Chiefs
So it apperas the Bills have gone back to being mediocre and playoff hopes are slipping away. If they want to finish on a good note Trent Edwards better get his shit together because this is a very winnable game. Tyler Thigpen has lifted the play of the Chiefs but not their record. Chief beat Bill.
Bills 20, Chiefs 24
Vikings and Jaguars
Coming off loss to the Titans, the Jags will need to regroup to beat the Vikings. AP is having another great season, and the Jags running game is suffering because of a beat up O-Line. But if the Vikings want to win, they’ll need to use the air. Jags David Garrard will also need to give his receivers some catchable passes and hopefully mix up the game to give MJD some running room.
Vikings 17, Jags 21
Buccaneers and Lions
The Lions are just waiting for this season to end and I’m pretty sure there are gonna be some changes in the locker room after this season. Jeff Garcia’s job has never been very secure in Tampa but after his play last week, things are looking good. A surprise win over the Vikings means the Lions are in definite trouble. Rumors are swarming that because Earnest Graham is out, Cadillac will be back. Don’t put too much faith into that, if your playing fantasy, wait until Sunday to pick him up if your desperate like I am.
Bucs 28, Lions 13
Bears and Rams
So last week Rex Grossman took some snaps and look what happened… 3 points, TOTAL. I saw Rex warming up and the man fumbled the ball. WTF??? This is a game that I think the Rams may actually win. The Bear’s defense is lifeless and I’m not too sure what they can do to spark some intensity into the front 7. I’m taking the Rams even though the Bears are the favorite. REX GROSSMAN is TERRIBLE!
Bears 13, Rams 20
Jets and Titans
Will Brett Favre be the one to hand the Titans their first loss? Mmmmm Maybe. Brett has been playing well the last couple of weeks but the Titans are 10-0. That’s very hard to ignore. The Titans showed that they can win from behind and trust in Kerry Collins. Thomas Jones of the Jets has shown that he can run the ball and the Jets D is putting good pressure on QB’s. But what does this all mean? At 1 p.m. you better be watching this game because something big is going to happen. And I predict one team will lose.
Jets 27, Titans 24
Eagles and Ravens
So Donovan McNabb is officially an idiot. I’m talking Matt Leinhart idiot. Apparently McNabb did not know that the NFL had ties. I guess that means he would’ve tried a lot harder to win. The Eagles tied the Bengals. Nuff Said.
Eagles 17, Ravens 20
Patriots and Dolphins
This rematch of week 3 and Ronnie Browns 5TD performance should be a good one. Even though the Fin’s are favored because of the Patriot debaucle, I would favor the Patriots in this one. They’ve had a great little run and Matt Cassel has found Wes Welker and threw for 400 yards last week against the Jets. The Patriots running game will be the decider needing to manage the clock effectively. We know the Dolphins can run, but we also know they fear the air.
Patriots 27, Dolphins 20
Raiders and Broncos
Cutler had a field day the last time these two teams met, and the Raiders have scored a total of 33 points the first of the season. 33 points. WTF???? Cutler will look to take early control of this game, but don’t necessarily count out the Raiders D. They’ve caught some lucky brakes, but without something on offense the nation falls, again.
Raiders 13, Broncos 31
Panthers and Falcons
The Falcons are still a contender in the NFC south, but after what I would call a surprising loss to a RB-less Denver Bronco team they will be up against a very tough Panthers team. The Panthers have won 4 straight with the help of the consistent arm of Delhomme, but don’t count Rookie Ryan out of this game. He has a long career ahead of him and proving himself in big games can only raise expectations
Panthers 23, Falcons 20
Giants and Cardinals
This is my game of the week. You are looking at two very prolific offenses but both teams are unique in their own right. The Giants will try to run the Card’s into the ground and Kurt Warner, wearing his two gloves, will sling it up field. The edge is goes to the Giants because defensively they are scary. Kurt does have the best receiving tandem in the league but defense may prevail here. Having said that I’m going for the upset.
Giants 27, Cardinals 28
Redskins and Seahawks
After a loss to the Boys on SNF the Redskins will need to pick it up this week if they want to stay in the hunt for a wildcard berth. The Seahawks, have struggled trying to find a style of play that fits Mike Holmgrens vision of letting Hasselbeck sling the ball but also not over using him. The running game in Seattle is pretty much non-existant and the Redskins are out for blood.
Redskins 24, Seahawks 20
Colts and Chargers
This match up isn’t as hyped up as it used to be. Both teams are having a mundane season, playing below analysts and fans expectations, especially in Cali. LT is averaging about 4 ypc, but Phillip Rivers QB rating is 100.8. The Colts have won their last 3 and everyone is saying, the Colts are back in action. The Colts are not back in action. The Colt’s receivers are not performing and Rhodes and Addai sharing the load have not really complemented each other nor have they had great performances. This is the SNF game, but if you wanta bit of a rivallry game then spend sunday watching. As for me? I’ll probably be getting some supreme frites.
Colts 20, Chargers 17
Packers and Saints
Ryan Grant remembered how to run last week against the Bears and Drew Brees has cooled off slightly. The Packers secondary will be on top of Brees this game having amassed 16 INTs this season. This is a solid MNF game and should be exciting. Rodgers will keep it close but Grant will take the win.
Packers 27, Saints 21
So that’s it for this week. No pics cause I just don’t have time. Take some risks, and bet big.
