Football Picks

Home Teams in CAPS

PATS (-4.5) over Tb
Couple of stats for you to sit on... Brady 14-0 in cold weather games, Tampa is 2-21 lifetime when the mercury hits below 40. Plus you've got Chris Simms Vs. Bill, yea I'll take the Pats too.
kc(+3) over NYG
Kc needs the win for the playoffs, the G-men, not so much. Quick thought on Eli...
He's looked good at times, but I'm sick of all the Giant fans talking about this guy like he is a Hall Of Famer if he retires tomorrow. He has 9 redzone INT's on the season, and did you see him try and hand the game over to the Eagles last week? With even a semicompotant QB, the Eagles would have won.
DEN(-9) over Bills
The Bills can't stop the run, Denver can run the ball on anyone. The Bills have allowed 30+ PPG in their current losing streak, Den knows how to score points. Yea I got the broncos too.
Pitt(-3) over MINN
The Steelers are too physical for the Vike's run defense. The Steeler backs will run all over them. The Vike's haven't beaten anyone good on their 6 game win streak. Pitt will be to tough to handle.
Sd (+7.5) over INDY (upset special)
This game is a tough one. one team (SD) is fighting for their playoff lives and another loss puts them on a golf course come Jan. The other (INDY) is looking to go undefeated, and with a win this week will get them to 14-0, but my gut tells me that LDT will have a huge all around game (another passing TD perhaps?) and SD will win in a close one.
JAX(-15.5) over Sf.
Nothing to write here
Sea(-7) over TENN
Tenn wants Bush, Sea wants home field throughout the playoffs. Sea wins.
Arizona (-1.5) over Houston.
Since no one will be watching this game I'll take the time to talk about the comeback of Grant Hill. This is the ultimate team guy, and he can't buy a break. He is always injured. If it isn't his ankle its his hernia, or his knee, it's sad. This guy was Lebron James before we ever knew who LBJ was. He was supposed to be as great as Magic. Its upsetting to see what happened to his career. Wednesday night he made a triumphant return, in MSG none-the-less, and played a good game (7 points in 23 min.) it's good to have him back and I wish him nothing but success.
Miami(-9) over NYJ
the Jets blew their chances at the number one pick, Reggie Bush, so now they hope to lose the rest of their games so they can maybe get Matt. Miami has won three in a row and look like the token "come out of nowhere and shock the NFL by making the SB" team next yr.
NO(+9) over Car
I don't like Carolina. They are not showing me anything this year, but everyone slurps them all day long I don't get it.
Dallas (+3) over WASH
Dallas need a win for a chance to tie the G-men for first in the NFC east. Plus they want to avenge that embarrassing MNF loss to the 'Skins.
Cincy(-8) over DET.
Cincy good, Det. Bad.
Cleveland (+3) over OAK
I like Crenel, probably has something to do with the fact that he used to coach the Pats.
Phily (+3.5) over STL.
Philly is playing with a little heart, while STL is playing with a Harvard grad at QB.
CHI (-3) over Atl
Chicago is looking to re-establish themselves as a team to beat in the NFC.
BAL (-3.5) over Gb
who cares?

So you're like Bill Simmomns, only without the humor and the sports knowledge.

I remember the days when yound eli would have been a die hard fan of the new yound eli. Hartman is a Giants fan on a Patriots bandwagon. I guess when Brady injures his eyelid on the next cover of GQ, Hartman will come back round for Big Blue's 12 year run at destiny
