Week 15 in the NFL
I had a rough night last night so I'll be brief. For the third week in a row I finished 11-5 which brings my season total to 128-80. Plus I picked Atlanta on Thursday and Dallas last night. Miami with their new Interim Head Coach will play inspired ball and win over Buffalo. Giants over the Redskins because they need it more. Titans take out their frustrations on the Colts and win in Indy. Texans at home win over the Panthers. Green Bay continues its winning streak today at Kansas City. Bengals over the Rams. Saints in another close one edge out the Vikings in Minnesota. Seattle surprises Chicago at Soldier Field beating the Bears. Lions over the Raiders even though you might worry about Suh who comes back from suspension today. Jets over the Eagles again because they need it more. Cardinals at home over the Browns who are going nowhere fast. My upset special the Broncos at home over the Patriots more so because of Denver's defense but Tebow will have a little magic as well. Ravens over the Chargers again because they need it and want it more. Finally, Pittsburgh takes one from the Forty-Niners and opens a door for New Orleans. That's my picks....Have a great weekend!

Week 14 in the NFL.................
Another good week last week with 11-5 mark. Also started out with one win this week with Pittsburgh over Cleveland but that was an easy pick. Now for the rest of my picks. My first upset special is Carolina over Atlanta. You may think I am crazy but just look at how each team performed last week. Atlanta is not a good road team and Carolina is red hot. Panthers win this one. Lions at home against the Vikings. Adrian Peterson should be back in the line up but look for Jim Swartz's team to get back their focus. He is a good coach and I predict he will have his team disciplined today. Lions win. Green Bay at home against the Raiders. Packers win. Tampa Bay at Jacksonville. Firing Del Rio was only one piece of the puzzle and it truly is a jigsaw for the Jags. Josh Freeman should be back for the Bucs. Bucs win. Philly travels to Miami. This is another stark contrast between two teams going in opposite directions. The Fins win this one. Look for the Patriots to keep the train rolling with another win today against the Redskins. Saints at Tennessee. This game should scare you if you are a Saints fan. Facing the same QB as they did last year in Seattle, Matt Hasslebeck will be ready again. The question here is did Gregg Williams' defense learn anything from last year. Today will be a good test. I am putting my money on the Saints to pull this one out. Saints win in an offensive battle. Next up Colts at the Ravens. The Colts will go 0-13 today as the Ravens stomp them in Baltimore. Jets at home against the Chiefs. Jets win as they need it more. Bengals at home against the Texans. The battle of the backup QB's will go to Andy Dalton who has had more time than T.J. Yates to perfect his craft. Bengals win. San Francisco at Arizona. I am thinking this could be a trick bag for the Niners as they may come in a little over confident. My second upset special Cardinals at home steal one from the Niners. Chicago at Denver. The Bears defense will not be able to bale out the Bears offense against Tebow and company. Tim has another stellar day as the Broncos put one more nail in the Bears coffin. Broncos win. Buffalo at San Diego. Bills will play loose like their on vacation with the great weather in San Diego. Bills win. Giants at the Cowboys. Here's where the "G-Men" make their stand. If you watched the way they played last week, you know they aren't finished. Giants win. And in the who cares Bowl for Monday Night the Seahawks are at home against the Rams. Go withe the home team here. Seattle wins with the "12th" man.

Week 13 in the NFL...
Much better last week with an 11-5 mark which brings my season total to 106-70. However, behind the eight ball thanks to Philly blowing the game against the Seahawks. So, I am 0-1 to start this weekend. Let's see if I can do better with the rest of my picks. Steelers are focused and at home. Two of many reasons the Bengals will have trouble this week. Pittsburgh wins. I know I am going against the grain here but my upset special is Carolina over Tampa Bay. One team is reeling the other making strides. Another upset Kansas City over Chicago. The Bears might think they can win with just defense but you still need an offense to score a few points. If the Chiefs can hold Forte to under 100 yards rushing they will win. Look for Kyle Orton to give them a spark. Chiefs win. Redskins can't get out of their own way. Skins at home against the Jets who need it more. Jets win. People will think I am crazy again but the Texans are at home against the Falcons and the Texans are playing tough even without their starting QB. Too much Arian Foster for the Falcons to handle. Texans win. Raiders at the Dolphins need this one to keep pace. Black & Silver will win this one. Tennessee at Buffalo. Bills at home will bounce back. Bills win. Denver at Minnesota. Why would I get off the Tebow Train now. Broncos win behind another solid Tebow performance. Colts at New England. This would be tough for the Colts If Manning were the starter. Pats win. Ravens at Cleveland. Ravens need it and want it more...This is December. Ravens win. Rams at the Niners. San Fran won't let this one slip away. Especially at home. Niners win. Cowboys at the Cardinals...there was a time when this was a good match up. Today will not be one of them. Boys win. Green Bay at the Giants. If the Packers were going to slip up this would be the place and time. Unfortunately, for Tom Coughlin and the Giants today won't be it. Packers send Giants and their coach a message. The Pack is back and here to stay. Packers win. Lions at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to face the Saints. If the streak continues the Saints are very hard to beat in Prime Time on the big stage. Look for the Saints to bring all weapons to bear. Tough enough for the Lions with Suh in the lineup. Saints win. Chargers at Jacksonville. Jags have already fired Del Rio and the word out of San Diego is Norv Turner is out at the end of the year...just as I predicted. Look for the Jags to play inspired under their Interim coach at home. Jags embarrass Turner and the Chargers one more time.
That's my picks...how about yours....Can't wait till Sunday Night Football!!! Have a great weekend!
