This week I’m going to make my picks without doing any research into trends or how well I think teams matchup with one another, I’m bound to do better.
Last Week: 4-7-2
Season: 48-50-5
Lock of the Week: 4-3
Home team in CAPS
VIKINGS (-6?) over Buccaneers
To be honest I didn’t really make a pick before this game happened, but I’m fairly certain I would have taken Minnesota at home and been horrendously wrong.
RAMS (+7) over Patriots
Are the Patriots not very good? It seems sometimes they look Super Bowl bound and other times like they don’t deserve to make the playoffs. As such, seven points on the road sounds a bit high.
Colts (+3.5) over TITANS
I’m still fully convinced the Titans are terrible. They aren’t fooling me with these “wins” of theirs.
Jaguars (+15) over PACKERS
It seems like Green Bay is back as the offense is once again producing, but 15 points? Yes Jacksonville is garbage and will be without MJD, but well, I don’t really have a good case for the Jags. Just that 15 points is a ton.
Chargers (-3) over BROWNS
The Cleveland Browns sold for $1.05 billion. A billion dollars! For the Cleveland Browns! Also, you know things are going poorly when I decide to make a Norv Turner coached team my lock of the week. There are few people I'd rather have money on than Norv.
EAGLES (-3) over Falcons
By all accounts the Eagles shouldn’t be favored, yet they are. The only thing they have going for them is that Andy Reid is undefeated coming off bye weeks, but I don’t think that really matters too much. My thinking is if Vegas is favoring the Eagles by three here, they know better than I do and the Eagles are the pick.
Dolphins (+2) over JETS
So apparently everyone in New York wants to trade Tim Tebow now. What exactly did they expect from a backup QB? He was never going to get that many touches. Did the fans really want him to play as a running back? I think Tebow is a victim of his own unexplainable success. Last year was a Tim Tebow anomaly that is likely to never be duplicated.
LIONS (-2.5) over Seahawks
I don’t think the Lions are very good, but they can’t be 2-5 bad can they? Also Seattle is still not very good on the road.
Panthers (+7.5) over BEARS
For some reason I think this game will be close, I couldn’t tell you what that reason it, but it is what I think.
STEELERS (-4.5) over Redskins
The Steelers have a passing attack right? It’s almost as if all of their other injuries don’t matter as long as they can pass the ball. Sometimes the Redskins like to leave receivers open for 77-yard game-winning catches because they are really good against the pass.
CHIEFS (-1.5) over Raiders
Brady Quinn is the savior!
Giants (-2) over COWBOYS
No way the Giants lose to the Cowboys twice right? Of course I’m sure people said the same thing about the Giants vs. Redskins last year…
Saints (+6) over BRONCOS
No more interim interim coach for the Saints! I’m sure they’ll totally fix the defense now!
49ers (-7) over CARDINALS
The Cardinals were 4-0. Is it possible they end the season 4-12? I think so.
