Mike’s NFL Picks 2007 Week 14b
By Mike | December 8, 2007
I almost forgot to get the remainder of my picks in. Here goes:
Carolina Panthers +11 at Jacksonville Jaguars. 11 points is a lot to give for a Jaguar team who I don’t think has a very high powered offense, but the Panthers only have one offensive weapon in Steve Smith and he’s by shutting down their QB’s he’s been fairly ineffective recently, killing my fantasy team in the process. Jacksonville minus the 11.
Dallas Cowboys -11.5 at Detroit Lions. Another double digit spread, and again I’m going to take the favorite. I think Detroit will be forced to throw even more than normal and that will lead to turnovers and a blowout.
Miami Dolphins +7.5 at Buffalo Bills. I can’t figure the Bills out. I don’t know that I would lay 7.5 points against any other team, but Miami is really bad. The question is if Miami has given up or is going to go all out to avoid the 0-16 season. I’ll take Buffalo for the win, but they’ll fail to cover.
New York Giants +3 at Philadelphia Eagles. The Giants tried really hard to pull off their traditional second half choke job the last few weeks, just the Bears wouldn’t let them. The Eagles will be able to finish the job and win in convincing fashion. Philly minus the three.
Oakland Raiders +11 at Green Bay Packers. I’m going to assume that Favre is fine, but even if he isn’t the Packers should destroy the Raiders. I’ll take my third double digit favorite so far this week.
San Diego Chargers -1.5 at Tennessee Titans. The Chargers are another team that I don’t know what to expect from. I think they can take the Titans on the road though.
St. Louis Rams +7 at Cincinnati Bengals. I have to take the Rams here. They have been looking much better in recent weeks, and the Bengals are just awful.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers -3 at Houston Texans. I’m flipping a coin on this one but I’ll take the Bucs and the three.
Arizona Cardinals +7 at Seattle Seahawks. My fantasy season depends on Seattle scoring lots of points in this one, and I think that is what they are going to do. I’ll the the Seahawks minus seven.
Minnesota Vikings -9.5 at San Francisco 49ers. I think the Vikings are a lot better than anyone would have expected this year. If you would have told me at the beginning of the year that I was going to lay 9.5 points to the Niners on the road I would have thought you were crazy, but since they are a decent team this year, and San Francisco is taking steps backwards, I’m going to have to take the Vikings.
Pittsburgh Steelers +10.5 at New England Patriots. I’m surprised this is still such a huge spread. The Patriots have looked mortal in the past few weeks, and there are a lot of people predicting the Pats first loss this week. Maybe that is all the motivation they need to get back to absolutely dominating form. I think the New England will win, but it will be a closer game, like in the past few weeks, so for the first time in a long time I’m going to bet against the Patriots and take Pittsburgh plus the ten and a half.
Cleveland Browns -3.5 at New York Jets. I don’t know how the Jets are only getting three and a half here. I don’t think this game will be anywhere near that close. If I was doing locks or best bets this would be it.
Kansas City Chiefs +7 at Denver Broncos. The Broncos are completely unpredictable, sucking just when you think they are getting it together. I’d normally take them without a second thought in this game, but I can’t do it. Plus I hate them. Chiefs plus the seven, although don’t be surprised if they win straight up.
Indianapolis Colts -10 at Baltimore Ravens. The Colts are good, but they don’t often blow teams out. They do what it takes to win and don’t pile on. The Ravens still a decent team and will at least be able to keep it with 10. I’ll take the Ravens.
New Orleans Saints -3.5 at Atlanta Falcons. I’ll take the Saints.
