NY Jets (5-6) –3/37 at Buffalo (4-7)

Both teams are on the road in this one, but Buffalo is closer to Toronto than New York. There’s not a lot to like about either team at this point. Owens has been playing well. So has the Jets’ defense. New York averages more points scored than allowed. Not so Buffalo.

I am liking the matchups this week.
Josh McDaniels goes against the QB he mentored last year.
That should be a big advantage plus Denver had some extra time off to heal.

Gregg Williams goes against his former team that passed him up for head coach and hired Zorn instead :)
You know the Saints defense will be fired up for this game.

For underdogs I really l

They looked great and all against the Patriots but I feel pretty confident they won't be doing anything memorable this year. They might make it to the conference championship game depending on who they get matched up against but there is no way they are going to the Super Bowl. You can trash me all you want in this post but they don't have the playoff experience and if you actually try to cover th ...(more)

I have no idea why in the world this Richard guy hates the Saints so much, but he's picked them to lose 8 games this year (including the Patriots game).  Yes, EIGHT.  As in, he thinks the Saints are a 3-8 team.  He picked them to lose against the Lions, Bills, Jets, Dolphins, Falcons, Panthers, Bucs, and now the Patriots.  No idea why he thinks they're one of the worst teams in ...(more)

(POLL) Sunday Night Game, thank goodness for football. One thing is for sure, take it one game at a time. The prime time means prime money. Big Ben is questionable for tonights game, while the Ravens are rolling. Pitts defense isn't like what they use to be, while the Ravens are solid on defense and offense. What makes this game even harder to pick is that the Ravens are a touchdown plus a point favorite ...(more)

  Week 12 – NFL picks

 

Wow! The week was filled with double digit point spreads (five). The Bengals and Steelers lose to Oakland and Kansas City! What, are you kidding? I said Miami’s Ricky Williams would be able to bring the juice and boy did he put the squeeze to me for not picking them after telling of his futu ...(more)

This is my 1st post venture in the world of predictions

After reading my post I felt that I should give some incentive as to why you should continue to read on after the above line!!!

My record against the spread the past 5 weeks is 46-22 and 10-5 in week 10.

The underdogs have dominated the last 3 weeks and with the huge spreads in week 12, I don't see that trend changing any.
Can you believe that the Browns, Chiefs, and Raiders all covered and all 3 almost won.

I see no reason for the Giants to be such a heavy favorite.
If they beat Denver it won't be more than a field goal.
I look for Green Bay to roll. Rodgers should have

OK, so I had a rough week in week 10. 6-8-1 isn't pretty. That puts me at 86-71-4 On top of that I went 0-5 with my locks. Ouch. Teaches me to lock anything up. Or does it! Here are my picks with a few locks.


1. Panthers -3 hosting Miami. I'm a Dolphins fan so I really hope my picks have the same effect they did last week, but this is about as tough a spot as there could be for Mi
