Mike’s NFL Picks 2007 Week 15
By Mike | December 15, 2007
Its been a busy week, and I already missed picking one game. Have I mentioned how stupid I think the Thursday night games are? They need to get rid of them. If there must be another day of football, put it on Saturday after the College season winds down. I’d be more likely to watch that and get my picks in on time.
Anyway, here are this weeks picks minus the Thursday night game.
Cincinnati Bengals -9 at San Francisco 49ers. I’m going to go against my better judgment and take the Bengals minus the points here. I’ve been very disappointed with Cincinnati this year, but San Fran is just terrible. I don’t think they can score, nor can they stop Cinci’s offense.
Arizona Cardinals +4 at New Orleans Saints. I’ll take the Saints.
Atlanta Falcons +13 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What a horrible season for Atlanta. Its not going to get any better this week.
Baltimore Ravens -4 at Miami Dolphins. I’ll take the Ravens. Only two more games to go until Miami’s ultimately pathetic season. By the way, I really hate Miami.
Buffalo Bills +6 at Cleveland Browns. I still don’t get the Bills. My I’m biased because Dick Jauron is their coach. It doesn’t look like I spelled his name right, but I’m not looking it up. I’m also betting against his team and taking the Browns.
Green Bay Packers -8.5 at St. Louis Rams. I hate to do it, but I’m going to take the Packers.
Jacksonville Jaguars +3.5 at Pittsburgh Steelers. Steelers, although I have a feeling with my luck they’ll only win by three.
New York Jets +21 at New England Patriots. All I’ve been hearing for the past couple of days is that the snow storm is going to prevent the Pats from blowing out this game. I don’t buy it. They are going to try to embarrass the Jets and no amount of snow is going to stop that. I’ll take New England minus 21.
Detroit Lions +11 at San Diego Chargers. I think last week’s failure to hold a lead is going to deflate the Lions for the last two games and San Diego will crush them.
Philadelphia Eagles +11 at Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys will win this one, but the Eagles will be able to keep it within 11. Take the Eagles plus the points.
Washington Redskins +5 at New York Giants. The Giants have gotten lucky lately as they’ve been trying to pull their traditional second half choke, but their opponents aren’t letting them. The Redskins will win this game straight up, but take the points since they’re offered.
Chicago Bears +11 at Minnesota Vikings. Great. The Bears get to be embarrassed on national TV again. Woo-hoo. I wouldn’t be surprised if Adrien Peterson’s points in this game are enough to cover the spread against the entire Bears team. The only way the Bears come close in this game is if Hester returns two or three kicks for touchdowns, but I have a feeling Minnesota isn’t going to be kicking to him. If the Bears can’t score with an average starting field position around the 40, why not just kick it out of bounds? There’s no need to give the Bears only weapon the ball. Oh wait, I’m supposed to be making a pick, not explaining all the Bears failings. Vikings minus 11. If you had told me at the beginning of the season that would have been the spread I would have put my life savings on the Bears. Shows what I know.
