First, I would like to thank Twigz for being generous enough to give me seed points since I had a Black Sat./Sun. last week. It won't be forgotten.
I had a horrendous week last week, so I decided to revive my picks thread to give me some better luck. Let's get started.
Seahawks +8.5 vs. Packers
I find it hard to believe pretty much all the lines this week. I'm inclined to take the underdog on all the games, but don't worry I won't. The Seahawks impressed the hell out of me last week. Great aggressive defense and a consistent offense. The Packers I just can't get sold on. Farve is having a magical season, but if you look at their roster you woneer how they are doing it. They played in one of the weaker divisions and had an easier schedule. I think the bubble will burst for the cheeseheads this weekend.
My pick: Take the points and the Seahawks
Seahawks 24 Packers 21
Jags +13.5 vs Patriots
Yes, the Pats went undefeated while playing the best teams in the NFL. I'm a hater though, so I would love to see them lose. I will say this whole scenario reminds me alot of the 2006 Rose Bowl where all the talking heads said that USC was the best college football team ever. Then they lose to a mobile QB and a strong defense. The Ravens, Giants, and Eagles all have shown the Jags the game plan to beat the Pats. The Jags could be the team to do it (but I won't be picking the Jags to win the game). This is the trickiest game this week. The Pats of the beginning of the year would have probably doubled the spread, but I don't think the Pats we see today will cover. However, all that being said, I'm not picking against the Pats.
My pick: give the points and bet the Pats
Patriots 38 Jaguars 20
Chargers +9.5 vs. Colts
Let's get serious. This should be a blow out. Nothing the Chargers did made me think that they will keep it close. Should be a nice setup for the big rematch of Colts vs. Pats.
My pick: Give the points and bet the Colts
Colts 44 Chargers 17
Giants +7.5 vs Cowboys
Interesting game. Its a high number especially considering it is a divisional rivalry. However, the Cowboys have beaten the Giants by 10 and 11 in both games. People talk about how the Cowboys haven't beaten the Giants 3 times blah, blah, blah. I see the Cowboys sticking it the Giants. Romo should torch the Giants and whatever you say about TO, he comes up big in big games. As much as it pains me to say, I think we may see the Cowgirls make their way to the Super Bowl.
My pick: give the points take the Cowboys
Cowboys 34 Giants 21
