NFL Picks Week 15

For the year my ATS picks are now at 117-88. One of the crappy teams in the league, Cleveland, was able to pull off a surprise last week in a win over Pittsburgh. Outside of Oakland, the really bad teams have done very little against any team average or better.

Dal
NO -7

I switched my pick 20 minutes after initially picking Dallas. The Saints will put on a show.

Mia
Ten Pk

There is no line on this game yet. I will take the Titans to win.

NE -7
Buf

The Pats do not look right to me and Buffalo has been playing relatively well since Jauron was fired.


Ari -12
Det

I do not trust the Cardinals but I cannot take Detroit.

SF
Phi -8.5

The 49ers are frisky. I think this will be a really good game.

Atl
NYJ -4

I cannot get a real feel for either of these teams.

Chi
Bal -11

I am not sure how much effort Chicago will give here, but I do not trust a double digit point spread with Baltimore.

Cle
KC -2

Who cares.

Hou -12
Stl

Who cares.

Cin
SD -6.5

I have no idea how Cincy will respond to the Chris Henry death. Neither do they, neither does SD. This could go any direction from SD blowout, to great game, to Cincy blowout. I think the SD blowout is the most likely. This death was too sudden, too recent, and too unpredictable for Cincy to rebound in time for this game.

Oak
Den -14

I am not a fan of QBs like Kyle Orton getting 14. Oakland has pulled some odd upsets so what the hell, I'll take a shot with the Raiders. Nope, I am switching back, there is nothing worse than coming into Sunday and realizing I am taking Russel on the road.

GB
Pit -2

I do not feel great about this one for GB. But, I am sick of hearing how angry Pittsburgh is and how they will be ready to play. Blah, Blah, Blah. They lost to KC, Oakland, and Cleveland in this losing streak. Their anger should have come out before this game. I just think that Pittsburgh is not that good w/o Troy. If NFL MVP awards could be retroactive, Troy would get last years award after we have had a chance to see how bad this team is w/o him.

TB
Sea -6.5

Tampa sucks, Seattle is boring. Who will watch this crapfest? I cannot imagine many people have any fantasy players from this game. Oh wait, I just picked up Seattle for this game. Crossing fingers I get a shutout and several sacks/turnovers.

Min -6.5
Car

I have no idea. The Vikings have pretty much tied up the two seed and Harvin is out. The difference between being an elite team and an above average team are playmakers and the Vikings have lost their biggest playmaker. Sorry AP, I have been very unimpressed with your season. Another note on this game, teams usually play much better at home in these primetime games, I am banking on that with this pick.

NYG -3
Was

I do not think the Giants are that good. In fact, I think Washington could be the better team between these two at this point.
