Week 15 Picks
Dec 11, 2007 | 7:44AM | report this

Not to brag (mabye a little, I went nearly undefeated last week with my picks, my only loss was an upset pick Jets over Browns)

Now we move on after a week where I am sure more teams will seperate themselves from the pack. On to the picks.

Thursday, December 13th 2007:

Denver Broncos @ Houston Texans:

Well I am very intrigued by this game. It truly does not have very serious playoff inplications, however both teams are coming off impressive wins last week. Denver was more impressive than Houston and I will choose them to outlast the boys in Texas.

Saturday, December 15th 2007:

Cincinnati Bengals @ San Franscisco 49ers:

Last week I picked the Bengals to beat the Rams...now I have to choose between the poor poor pitiful 49ers and the AFC Bust of 2007. Have to go with the Bengals here.

Sunday, December 16th 2007:

Seattle Seahawks @ Carolina Panthers:

It amazes me that so many people always pick the Panthers to be a top contender and since their last playoff apperance in 2005 they have been busts. With a QB who played high school football with Brett Favres dad going against the interception and sack happy Seattle I predict a long day in Carolina as Seattle destroys the Panthers.

Buffalo Bills @ Cleveland Browns:

I just dont know. I am sensing a downfall for the Browns, however how can I give the Bills respect for beating up on the J-E-T-S. I just can't go with the Bills here but I still feel the Browns will let me down. Cleveland wins.

Tennessee Titans @ Kansas City Chiefs:

I am trying to find a good reason to go with the home team. Sorry can't do it. Titans win.

Baltimore Ravens @ Miami Dolphins:

(snickers...laughs....side hurting) Who is their sane mind could pick the Fin's to Win? Not me....Ravens dismantle...hurt...embarass..the soon to be 0-16 Dolphins.

New York Jets @ New Engalnd Patriots:

This is where "SpyGate" started and if you don't think Bill will make a statement here then you just don't know football. Patriots clear the point spread plus 5.

Arizona Cardinals @ New Orleans Saints:

The Saints are coming off a nice win against Atlanta. The Cards a 5 pick loss to Seattle. Arizona redeems themselves here. It will be a close game, but Cards walk off winners.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Pittsburgh Steelers:

This should be the Monday Night Game. I mean two fantastic teams facing off. The Jags are firing on better cylindars than the Steelers right now. I am just waiting for Pittsburgh to guarentee a win. Jags win in a semi-upset.

Green Bay Packers @ St. Louis Rams:

This is a game I would love to see the Rams win, why you ask (I want a #2 seed). I just dont see it happening. The Pack drops the Rams that much closer to a top 5 pick in the draft.

Atlanta Falcons @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers:

Who cares who the QB is. Tampa rolls to a win.

Indianpolis Colts @ Oakland Raiders:

How is this fair to the Raiders, the get their ####handed to them by the Packers last week and now have to face the Colts. This will not be pretty.

Philadelphia Eagles @ Dallas Cowboys:

Dallas escaped the Lions with a last second touchdown, the Eagles seem to play good enough to lose by 3 or 4 in the 4th. I think it will be a closer game, but Dallas walks away with a win.

Detriot Lions @ San Diego Chargers:

Dont let the Lions performance fool you. This is a team that has lost several straight games. Chargers find a way to win....again.

Washington Redskins @ New York Giants:

The Giants found a way to win against Philly, look for them to repeat the feat against the Skins.

Monday, December 17th 2007:

Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings:

The Bears start the Super Bowl losers curse all over. A team that will not make the playoffs this year. Against the Vikings things dont get easier. This is the hottest team in the NFC right now winning by large margins with their offense clicking. Vikes destroy the Bears.

Week 13 Picks
Nov 27, 2007 | 9:40AM | report this

This season I am posting right around .700 for my picks. I am pretty accurate with my upsets. I look for good feedback and good sportsmanship on my posts. We may be fans of different teams, but we share a love for NFL football.

Green Bay @ Dallas:

Both of these teams are needless to say be quite impressive. I pick the Packers to win a close one even though the game is in Dallas.

San Francisco @ Carolina:

Carolina has been downright horrible this year and the 49ers posted an impressive win against Arizona this week. The 49ers will win in Carolina this week. Gore is back.

Jacksonville @ Indianpolis:

The Jags are rolling. The Colts are winning, however they are not impressive. Jags will steamroll the Colts at home and go into a tie for the division.

San Diego @ Kansas City:

The Chargers will win the division this year and sneak into the playoffs. With the injuries the Chiefs have sustained I cant see them winning this game. Chargers win.

New York Jets @ Miami:

This is it. Miami wins their first game on the season. An impressive defensive stand against the Steelers on Monday caused me to pick an 0-11 team to win.

Detriot @ Minnesota:

Where did the Vikes come from? They should have AP back this week (a good thing for me and my fantasy league). Vikings destroy the faltering Lions.

Seattle @ Philadelphia:

This game depends on two things. 1. Will Seattle pressure the QB? 2. Will the Eagles play McNabb? The last time Seattle went to Philly they crushed them 42-0 and took most of the starters out in the second half. I dont see that happening again, however I see Seattle winning. The Eagles have huge heads for a below .500 team and Seattle is looking to grab a three game lead in their division.

Atanta @ St. Louis:

St. Louis will win their third game of the season here pending any injuries. They are defeated at home and need a win. Atlanta is just downright horrible this year.

Houston @ Tennessee:

The Titans need to avenge their humilating defeat to the Bengals this last week and will do so against the Texans.

Buffalo @ Washington:

The Skins will play with heart after their loss of Sean Taylor. Buffalo doesn't stand a chance.

Cleveland @ Arizona:

How about them Browns. They will make the playoffs but will not get out of the first round. Arizona will lose this game by 10 points.

Denver @ Oakland:

Oakland will win against the declining Broncos. This is an upset pick.

New York Giants @ Chicago:

Dont let the Bears win last week fool you. The Giants are for real (just as long as they dont play Dallas or Minnesota). Giants win.

Tampa Bay @ New Orleans:

Two good teams face off. Next to Thursdays game this is the hardest game to pick and I will go with the home team here. Saints win.

Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh:

The Steelers have been less than impressive of late and them barely beating the Fins is a direct reflection of that. Bengals roll the Terrible Towels in Steel City.

New England @ Baltimore:

Who in their right mind can pick the Ravens? Pats win.

ABOUT ME


NationTraveler78
I am a native of the Pacific Northwest. My Grandfather was a very small minority owner of the Seahawks and even owned the land the original Kingdome was built on, he sold his portion to the Nordstrom family in 1979. With that being said I was born a fan and was less than a two weeks old when I went to my first Hawks game on Dec. 3rd 1978 when the Hawks played the Browns. As a kid my family moved to Arizona where things changed in sports, becoming a Phoenix sports fan is bittersweet, just like being a Seattle fan. Combined the two cities have two championships
. 1979 Sonics and 2001 Diamondbacks.
I am now living in SoCal with my wife and two children, with one little future Seahawk on the way.
