Got so busy this week that I didn’t had a time to put up my picks right away. Although I did good this week, I can’t believe how my Eagles team did so poorly last week or the past couple of games for that matter.
For the record, here’s how I was doing weekly
- Week 1: 4-12
- Week 2: 6-10
- Week 3: 10-4
- Week 4: 9-5
- Week 5: 8-8
- Week 6: 9-5 (against the spread, 9-3-2)
- Week 7: 7-7 (against the spread, 9-5)
- Week 8: 9-5 (against the spread, 10-4)
Now to the picks,
Atlanta has to win this game to be on top of their division. Miami was impressive against the Saints. It might be tough for Miami to stop the running game of the Falcons. Falcons (+3)
After riding the running of Cadilac Williams on their first couple of games, the Tampa Bay Bucs have really nothing to show for anymore. This will be evident again against the Carolina Panthers team, although inconsistent, are still one of the best in their division. Panthers (+7)
Baltimore’s defense was impressive last week against the Steelers even without their pro-bowlers ILB Lewis & SS Reed. Unfortunately, their offense is not. They will go up against a team needing to prove themselves legitimate. Now with a new list for #85, we’ll see how they do. Bengals (+7)
The Lions gave away the game last week. This week, they have a chance against a team that is going down fast due to the lost of their starting QB. Lions (+7)
Texans got their first win of the season. Would that momentum be carried forward against the Jaguars? Yes. But the Jaguars are there stop it at home. Jaguars (-7)
Kansas City is in need of another win. They have the firepower to go against the Raiders D. KC Chiefs(+7)
The Chargers, I believe, is the best football team in the AFC right now. Although their record does not show that due to their 2 early close-game loses. Chargers (-7)
Hopefully, they don’t show this on TV. Browns (+7)
Oh when the Saints go marching in! Another “home game” for the Saints! But it doesn’t matter with the way they are playing nowadays. Chicago is a great defensive team. If they can get enough points, they have this one. Bears (+3)
Hot. Hot. Hot. The NY Giants are. Though the Niners won last week, they will be hard-pressed against the Giants team who are in the position to take their division at the end of regular season. Giants (-7)
Seattle Seahawks inconsistency is making it hard for me. If they play the way they should, Seahawks (-7)
I just wish that Bret won’t get hurt on this one! Steelers (-14)
Intersting matchup. Both have to prove that their loss last week doesn’t mean anything. Or does it say everything about they’re teams. I will still go with the Eagles no matter what. Eagles (-3)
They say that this is the game that will prove the Colts superbowl run legitimacy. I beg to differ! Once the Colts hold that trophy on February, then yes! Otherwise, no. They have to beat more than one good team before I can say they are great. Having said that, the Pats always have a way with the Colts. And I think they will have it again even if the Pats are missing key players to fill up the position. This will be close! Pats (+3)
