Quick recap...
If any of you had read my posts last week, you may remember that I picked 10 out of 12 spreads correctly last week (Missed only Minnesota +9 and Seattle -3.5). I also had 4 money line picks that were all correct. 87.5%
On the outside chance that I'm on a hot streak, I'm posting my picks for this week with a few write ups. I dont have time to write up every pick, although I may add a couple later this week before Sunday.
BOL to everyone this week.
WEEK 13
Philadelphia vs. Seattle
It’s hard to gauge just how well Philadelphia will play on Sunday. With Michael Vick out, the stats don’t really reflect their current potential, but McCoy and Maclin are likely to sit this one out. When it boils down to it, Vince Young is really no better than Tarvaris Jackson; their percentages are basically even. Desean Jackson is a big disappointment this season with only 664 yds and 2 TD’s. These teams are essentially now equal; the team with the stronger defense will come out ahead. Unfortunately for Philly, that’s the Seahawks with a home field advantage as well.
SEAHAWKS / +3
Buffalo vs. Tennessee
Make no mistake about it; the Bills have lost whatever edge they had (Fred Jackson) during the beginning of the season. After being pounded on the road over the last three weeks, it’s hard to think that they can come back against the Titans who are dead set on the wild card. The Titans have the edge in passing, while Buffalo’s defense appears to get worse week after week. If Tennessee can stop the run, they will have the edge in this game.
TENNESSEE / ML
Kansas City vs. Chicago
Even with Hanie, the Chiefs are simply no match for the Bears. Chiefs have averaged 6 points over the last 4 games! Having one of the worst passing offenses in the league, their only shot is rushing, but the Bears defense is too strong. Hanie will make short plays while Barber and Forte pound their way down the field and across the goal line in the windy city. Easy cover for Chicago.
CHICAGO / - 7
Oakland vs. Miami
I think people are a little mesmerized by Miami lately, thinking that they have somehow solved their issues and turned things around. Look at who they have played over the last few weeks….Buffalo, Washington, and Kansas City. After a so-so performance against Dallas last week, I think it’s pretty apparent that they will end the season the same way it started. Oakland is a strong road team (80%) and they out score Miami at home by at least 1 TD. Pay attention to Oakland’s passing game; it will be big.
OAKLAND / +2.5
Cincinnati / +7
Baltimore / -6.5
Jets / +3
Houston / ML
Carolina / +3
New Orleans / -9
Denver / ML (If Peterson plays I may reconsider)
San Francisco / -13 (Still thinking this one through)
Dallas / -4.5
Green Bay / -7
New England / -20 (Still thinking this one through)
San Diego / -3

I think if I had taken just a little more time with these picks that I would have caught the obvious errors.
