NFL Predictions

Picking Spreads: 33-25

Picking Winners: 42-16

Minnesota at St. Louis: Take Minnesota and the 10 point spread. The Vikings beat San Francisco two weeks ago and the 49ers just rammed the Rams last week 35-0.

Houston at Arizona: I’m taking the Cardinals at home covering the six point spread. This will be a game with a lot of offense and very little defense. Arizona will show up this week and show off for their home fans.

Indianapolis at Tennessee: The Colts will deliver the knockout blow to the Titans season Sunday night. Peyton’s in his prime and playing some of the best ball of his career and Tennessee’s defense has disappeared. Even though this is a division game and the Colts are on the road I still pick Indy to easily cover the four point spread.

Reasons I’m Not Picking the Other Games

Dallas at Kansas City: Tony Romo and the Cowboys should cover the eight point spread but they’re so inconsistent who knows what can happen at one of the toughest places to play in the league, Arrowhead Stadium.

Washington at Carolina: Which team will play even worse than normal? That’s what this one will come down to.

Tampa Bay at Philadelphia: The Eagles need to score 16 to cover the spread. It’s a possibility, but a spread that high in the NFL is never a safe bet.

Oakland at NY Giants: New York has to win by 15 to cover the spread and with Eli hurt that might not happen. Oakland’s terrible, but the spread’s too high for my liking.

Cleveland at Buffalo: Another stink fest. These teams are so bad neither can be considered a winner no matter who comes out on top.

Cincinnati at Baltimore: Every game the Bengals have played this year has come down to the last couple minutes to decide. The Ravens could cover the spread winning by nine because of their newly discovered offensive fire power led by the arm of Joe Flacco, but Cincinnati can never be counted out this season.

Pittsburgh at Detroit: The Steelers by 11 on the road is too high for me to take, especially the way they’re defense has been letting teams back in the game late.

Atlanta at San Francisco: One of the better games of the week. Too close to call.

New England at Denver: The Broncos can prove to everyone they’re for real this week by at least putting up a fight against the Pats.

Jacksonville at Seattle: Who cares? A study showed the Jaguars are the least popular team in the league and Seattle isn’t very far ahead.

NY Jets at Miami: They really had a couple of great games the last two weeks on Monday Night Football. It doesn’t get much better than the obnoxious Jet fans in Miami, under the lights, in a heated rivalry that can’t possibly have a hypothesized prediction.
