Week 14 picks

12-4 LAST WEEK 117.5 AND 74.5 ON THE YEAR.

Indianapolis vs Tennessee INDY

Battle of Tennessee! McNair vs Manning should be good. Colts D is playing better.


St. Louis vs Kansas City KC

Going south in Ramville, as now they don't have Bulger to turn to.

Buffalo vs New England BILLS

Can the Bills show up again after saving their season last week? Last chance for Bledsoe to get his vengence.

San Francisco vs Dallas Dallas

Upset special. San Fran needs to wake up and smell the napalm. Mike Rumph and Webster have big bullseyes on their backs.

Houston vs Pittsburgh Pitt

Maddox gets to ease back in.

Atlanta vs Tampa Bay Bucs

Vick's great, but the Buc D is pretty fast and was able to contain him last time. Now it's at Tampa.

NY Giants vs Washington Giants

Both teams are coming off tough losses.

Cincinnati vs Carolina CATS

Not saying which one. No really, come on, let's beat the Bungles at home.

Cleveland vs Jacksonville Browns

No Brunnel, no winny for the Jags.

New Orleans vs Baltimore Aints

Need this one. Could be tough, with Lewis running so well, but I think they get it done after a big win.

Detroit vs Arizona Lions

Zona is in shambles. Anyone want the Fake now?

Philadelphia vs Seattle Philly

Philly's jsut plain getting it done without McNabb. Duce is stepping up.

Oakland vs San Diego Chargers

This would be huge for this franchise.

Denver vs NY Jets Broncos

Another big game that will go down to the wire.

Minnesota vs Green Bay PACK

Revenge is a dish best served cold. 15 degrees cold enough?

Chicago vs Miami RICKY, i mean, PHINS

 

The only ones I may pick different are:

Pats over Bills - Brady usually responds well after a poor (by fantasy football standards (2pts) performance)

San Fran over Dallas - I still don't think Campo is very bright, however I am more impressed with Dallas than I was in the first few weeks. Hutchinsen may hit a few more speed bumps.

Atlanta over TB - While TB has the better D, Atlanta has the better Offense, if Vick & co can muster 21 pts they should win.

Browns / Jags - toss up... I'd lean towards the Jags just because of what I saw out of the Browns last week, afterall we broke an 8 game losing streak with them. Take that, mix up an inconsistant Couch and an injured Northcutt, jags could pull it out.

By the way, my record on calling games this year, not so good, but its fun trying. I've had a few seasons at 65-70%, but that has been the exception not the rule, the last 4-5 years has been more difficult to call games, IMO.

 

Been trying to tell people all week here at work not to go out and bet the farm on San Fran this week. The Niners have Green Bay on deck at home next week. You don't think they might overlook the Boys, do you?

If I had the balls, I'd take Seattle too. Probably will let that one go though.

 

thanks, piper. (for starting this, i mean)

hey 99, you gonna put in your picks or what?

 

I was a pitiful 5 - 11 in Week 12. :anon: Didn't pick last week because I was out of town for Thanksgiving. I'm 101.5 - 58.5 (63%) for the year. Time to get back on track...


ATLANTA @ TAMPA BAY-- ATL
Vick and the Dirty Birds just have too much offense, and the suprisingly resurgent Falcons' D should be enough to stop Chuckie's O.

CINCINNATI @ CAROLINA-- CAR
Man, does it feel good to pick the Cats to win again! Now, if the D can just hold it together in the 4th quarter two weeks in a row...

HOUSTON @ PITTSBURGH -- PIT
The NFL story of the year, Tommy Maddox, gets an easy week back at the Big Ketchup Bottle. Thanks for keeping his seat warm for him, Kordell.

NEW YORK (GIANTS) @ WASHINGTON -- WAS
The G-Men might get a 'win one for the Fassel' speech, but I don't think it will be enough. Lewis' D should be able to handle Big Blue's inconsistent O, and Stephen Davis should be able to run on the Giants' D.

ST. LOUIS @ KANSAS CITY -- KC
KC's D gave up 39 to the Seahawks for cryin' out loud, but with Martin starting for the Rams, Mike Martz's O just isn't the same.

NEW ORLEANS @ BALTIMORE-- NO
The Saints ought to win this one walking away. But they've been surprisingly vulnerable to lower tier teams. The Ravens could surprise.

DENVER @ NEW YORK (JETS) -- DEN
Denver is the better team, and if they want to make some noise in the playoffs, they need to win on the road. Clinton Portis should keep Pennington off the field.

MINNESOTA @ GREEN BAY -- GB
No way does a dome team beat Favre on the frozen tundra in December. Especially that one!

BUFFALO @ NEW ENGLAND -- NE
Bledsoe Bowl II. The Champs need to keep the momentum going. The Pates' secondary will earn their money this week.

CLEVELAND @ JACKSONVILLE -- JAX
The Orangemen still reeling from losing to the Cats, and the Jags have been tough at home.

INDIANAPOLIS @ TENNESSEE -- TEN
The Colts' running game has sputtered all season, and without it, Manning gives away balls like Santa Claus. Dungy's D is getting better, but still has a ways to go yet.

SAN FRANCISCO @ DALLAS -- SF
The 49ers D has some serious issues, but the 'Boys aren't talented enough to take advantage of them.

DETROIT @ ARIZONA -- DET
Harrington's getting better by the week, but both of these coaches are feeling the heat. The Cards will prove what they're made of this week after their worst defeat in franchise history.

PHILADELPHIA @ SEATTLE -- PHI
Philly is the more talented team, but if the Iggles' D overlooks the Hawks' O, there could be an upset in the making.

OAKLAND @ SAN DIEGO -- SD
The Bolts look to sweep the Dirty Old Men. Father Time begins to catch up with R. Woodson and Romo, and Tomlinson has another big day.

CHICAGO @ MIAMI -- MIA
This one looked a heckuva lot better to the schedule makers back in April, didn't it? This should be Dick Jauron's last Monday night game as a head coach. Rumors point to him being in the GM chair for the Bungles next year.
