  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)

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

Green Bay (6-4) –11/47.5 at Detroit (2-8)

Detroit played their best game of the season on offense last week, and still couldn’t cover a trey against the Browns. Hey they’re at home, it’s Thanksgiving and Favre’s struggled at times in the dome. If the spread was 14, I’d give them a shot to cover. I can’t see th ...(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.
Straight up I'm listed on the 1st page of the CBS Pick'em contest with over a 100 wins.

Miami (4-5) +3/42.5 at Carolina (4-5)

There’s not much separating these two teams at this point. Identical records, fairly average offenses, and problems on defense (Miami against the pass, Carolina against the run.) Losing Brown for the season and (maybe)Fasano for this game won’t help the cause for Miami. Carolina could be without Hoover ...(more)

Chicago (4-4) +3/43.5 at San Francisco (3-5)

Both teams reach the middle of the season as mid-level outfits. I've got San Francisco at 19 overall, Chicago at 20. Chicago has been bad on the road this season going 1-3 SU and ATS with a significant drop in numbers on both sides of the ball. San Francisco is .500 both ways at home. I'll go with that tren ...(more)

I look for the Giants to start off their second half of the season with an impressive win over the Falcons.
Matt Ryan seems to be digressing and Turner being out is a big loss. Giants get Ross back to help out the secondary as well.

Was a bit shocked at the Colts/Ravens point spread this week. Of course, I thought the same when I saw the Broncos/Redskins point spread

Prisco..you an AZZZ!!!!!!! You pick the Seahawks over the vikes. Why do you hate them so much? Seriously you pick against the vikings every chance you can. An that is why you suck as a columnist. You don't know crap! It's in the dome. They don't have a healthy QB or RB. Go away will you...

Apparently CBSSports.com decided that picking the winners of NFL games was so easy that, "Even a caveman can doit!" So, given these terms they found some troglodytes who happened to fit that description and had thm pick the games. Me, I'm hoping for the return of that chicken who pecked her way to predictions that were so much more correct that these wannabes would hope for!
