Week XV Picks

Yeah, I know. It's becoming a habit. I'm posting my picks before I post results. Talk to Brian. I'm too busy until the weekend gets rolling to write up my results.

Anyway, let's get week 15 out of the way.

  • Pittsburgh (-10.5) vs. New York Giants: The Giants will lose, but they'll cover. Pittsburgh doesn't have a super high powered offense, but they "get 'er done."
  • Washington (-6) vs. San Francisco: The 49ers suck. They can barely out score the San Fran Giants!
  • Carolina vs. Atlanta (-3): Atlanta on an add week. Not sure about this one, but Carolina hasn't done much for me this year.
  • Seattle vs. New York Jets (-6.5): The Jets at home against a struggling Seattle team. Yeah, I like the Jets.
  • Dallas vs. Philadelphia (-12): Philly wins, but Dallas keeps it close.
  • Minnesota (-3) vs. Detroit: Nothing like a Lions game to get a team back on track. Look for Minnesota to slaughter Detroit.
  • San Diego (-10) vs. Cleveland: The Chargers will continue their Cinderella season.
  • Buffalo (-1.5) vs. Cincinnati: Buffalo, since putting in McGahee, has been unbelievable. And people wondered if drafting him was a wise choice. A year and a half later, the answer seems pretty obvious.
  • Jacksonville vs. Green Bay (-3.5): Green Bay is back on track. They now lead the division. That, after going 1-4 to start the season. Not bad.
  • Houston vs. Chicago (-1): Houston has to play in the Windy City. That'll be tough, but Chicago only gets up for games against the NFC North.
  • New Orleans vs. Tampa Bay (-8): Let's try this again. I picked New Orleans when they played in week 5, and I'll do it again. But the Bucs will win!
  • St. Louis (-3) vs. Arizona: Three points is not enough. The Rams should kill Arizona.
  • Denver (-1.5) vs. Kansas City: Denver will win this one. KC, with no running game, doesn't stand a chance.
  • Tennessee vs. Oakland (-2.5): Oakland a favorite? Nope. Not in my book.
  • Baltimore vs. Indianapolis (-7.5): High powered offense versus a stifling defense. Will Manning break the record? I hope so, but that's because in my fantasy league, if I win this weekend, I have to play a team with Manning on it next weekend. Maybe he'll break the record and sit out a couple of weeks!
  • New England (-10) vs. Miami: At one time, I'm sure this looked like a good Monday night game. Not now.

So there you have it. All done. I'll get results up tomorrow night probably.
