This Sunday has a lot of very tight action. Last Nights (12/18) action between the Colts and the Jags was a really tight one but the Colts eeked it out. This Saturday has a tough one between the Ravens and the Cowboys. If I had to pick, Baltimore plus the points would be the play but I won't touch that.
With that being said, Here are my Picks.
Houston Texans-7
Oakland Raiders 43.5
I like the Texans in this one, they're back at .500 and they're facing Oakland. Oakland seems like they can't hold on to the ball. Always finding a way to turn it over. The Texans came off another BIG win, and are on a 4 game win streak. Those 4 victories were won by an average of 6.75 Points. After Oakland's beat down by the hands of the Patriots, their defense has been exposed even more, not that it hasn't already. Seeing that the Texans are hot right now and are about to win their 5th straight. I think I'll ride with them. Who here thinks the right pick would be to fade the Texans? Not me. I think their momentum is even higher after their win against Tennessee.
Pick: Houston Texans-6.5 (Buy the Half to get off that Key #)
Final Score Prediction: Houston 38, Oakland 13

San Francisco-5
St.Louis 43
I've always paid attention to the NFC West. Last week's pick on the Over between Seattle and St.Louis was a winner for me. And this week is no different as 2 more NFC West teams battle. Both teams have no defense, and both can score pretty well. Both teams aren't in the playoffs. This is going to be a shootout.
Pick: Over 43
Final Score Prediction: San Francisco 34, St.Louis 20

Arizona 45
New England-8
New England needs another win to keep pace with the rest of the AFC East. Arizona has already clinched because of their weak division. I doubt they can play away from home, even if they played at home they got stomped on by the Vikings. I live in Rhode Island (very close to Gillette Stadium, bout 25 mins away) and wow is it snowing badly right now, about 13 inches of snow. Even if the snow doesn't keep up i doubt a desert team can compete in this kind of weather, but then again it's Matt Cassel's first snow game.
I really think it doesn't matter to be honest. I think the Patriots will dominate in this one, and hopefully the Cardinals remove their players and get ready for the playoffs since they won't need this.
Pick: New England Patriots
Final Score Prediction: Patriots 27, Cardinals 10
WEATHER UPDATE AS OF 12/21/08 @ 10AM
Snow ss falling hard and is expected to be falling thought game time. I expect a one sided game here as Arizona will probably take out their starters before halftime.
With that being said, Here are my Picks.
