Week XIII NFL Picks

posted on 2004-12-04 at 01:07:46 by Joel Ross

I almost forgot to post these. Work has been, well, out of control lately, and things in my personal life have been slipping a little - including getting my picks up. So my first step is to get the picks posted - gotta have your priorities straight, right?

For what it's worth (nothing), here they are. Some descriptions may be abbreviated because of a need for sleep.

  • Houston vs. New York Jets (-7): But the Jets win. Houston will keep it close.
  • Cincinnati vs. Baltimore (-6.5): Baltimore was embarassed last week, and will be looking for revenge.
  • New England (-8) vs. Cleveland: Not sure why, but when I checked on Wednesday, the line was eight points. Now, it's off the boards. Did I miss something? I'll stick to the eight point line though.
  • Arizona vs. Detroit (-6): Detroit favored by 6. Unreal. I think they'll match it. It is Arizona!
  • Tennessee vs. Indianapolis (-11.5): Indy wins, but not by 12. Tennessee will keep it relatively close.
  • Minnesota (-7.5) vs. Chicago: Keeping up with the Jones' from Wisconsin isn't tough against Chicago.
  • Buffalo (-3.5) vs. Miami: Buffalo is on a roll lately.
  • Atlanta vs. Tampa Bay (-1.5): Someone explain to me how a 4-7 team is a favorite over a 9-2 team. I don't get it.
  • San Francisco vs. St. Louis (-10): I don't usually take a team if the line is 10 or more points, but then I remembered it was the 49ers.
  • Carolina vs. New Orleans (-1.5): If I'm right, and the Bucs lose, then the winner of this one will be in sole posession of 2nd place in the division - at 5-7!
  • Kansas City (-1) vs. Oakland: Another who cares game.
  • Denver vs. San Diego (-3): San Diego looks to extend it's division lead, and if Denver loses, they are still in a good spot for a wild card.
  • New York Giants vs. Washington (-2.5): The Giants have been awful lately, and the Redskins will take advantage of it.
  • Green Bay vs. Philadelphia (-6): Philly has been unstoppable, and Green Bay will have a tough time covering Owens. Or any reciever for that matter.
  • Pittsburgh (-3) vs. Jacksonville: Pittsburgh should roll through this one.
  • Dallas vs. Seattle (-7): Another stellar MNF match up! No wonder the next contract says they can change the games late in the season.

So there you have it. Glad I got this out of the way.
