Week 15 Picks: Last Week 12-2

Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills

The Bills after a promising start, can’t seem to find the win column.  The Bills have a problem. The team thought that they were playoff bound, but unfortunately, the rebuilding process will continue. The Dolphins aren’t much better. After Chad Henne was injured, the team has had some difficulty. The team has had some good victories, beating the Raiders 34-14. Add another victory for the team in this game. 

Dolphins over Bills 

Seattle Seahawks at Chicago Bears 

Marshawn Lynch has been on a tear lately. Against the struggling Bears, Lynch should lead his team to victory. However, the Bears’ rushing defense has been solid, which could lessen Lynch's carries.  The Bears rushing defense, allows only 101 yards per game. Caleb Hanie hasn’t exactly been a Jay Cutler, spiraling his team into a three game losing streak. Make it four games. 

Seahawks over Bears 

Carolina Panthers at Houston Texans 

The Texans, have clinched the organization’s first playoff spot ever, will most likely "take it easy" against the Panthers. This game, has virtually no meaning to the Texans. To the Panthers it does. Cam Newton and the rest of his team will battle hard. Maybe next year Cam. Maybe next year. 

Texans over Panthers 

Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts 

Chris Johnson, get prepared for your breakout game. Chris Johnson fantasy owners. Get prepared to win your league. Tennessee Titans, get ready for a win. Indianapolis Colts, have fun losing yet another game. Titans over Colts 

Green Bay Packers at Kansas City Chiefs 

The Packers will continue to try to become the first undefeated team since the Dolphins… Or since the Patriots. Depends how you look at it. Anyway, the Packers will add on another victory, and inch closer to perfection. Aaron Rodgers will demonstrate his fantastic passing skills against a team that allows 23 points per game. Have fun Aaron! Packers over Chiefs 

New Orleans Saints at Minnesota Vikings 

AP could be back! Not that it will make much of a difference against the Saints. Drew Brees is having yet another  MVP caliber year, and against the Vikings treacherous defense, which allows 28 points per game, expect Brees to throw four TD’s. Vikings are in a five game losing streak, and are having an extremely disappointing year. It will come to an end soon. Saints over Vikings 

Washington Redskins at New York Giants 

The Redskins are the one team in the NFC East that is worse than the Eagles. And why is that? Well, when your quarterback at one point is Rex Grossman, you have a problem. Eli Manning is having a career year for the Giants, who will beat the Giants' division rival. Giants over Redskins

Cincinnati Bengals at St. Louis Rams 

The Cincinnati Bengals. One of the most surprising teams in the NFL this season. The Bengals have been struggling recently though, but are still pushing for a playoff spot in the extremely difficult AFC North. The Rams. What is there to say? The team has just won twice. It will stay that way.  
Bengals over Rams 

Detroit Lions at Oakland Raiders 

The Lions, another one of the more surprising teams in the NFL this year, visit the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders have been completely rebuilt under new coach Hue Jackson. Thus far, Jackson has led his team to a 7-6 record. Unfortunately, Stafford should handle the Raiders’ defense, which allows 230 passing yards per game. Stafford should be able to connect with Megatron countless times. Lions over Raiders 

Cleveland Browns at Arizona Cardinals 

The Cardinals have been steadily improving, winning three games in a row. With Kevin Kolb starting, the Cardinals should beat the struggling Browns. The Browns have lost three in a row, and Colt McCoy, who was manhandled by James Harrison last week, is questionable. The Cardinals should continue the team’s surge. Cardinals over Browns 

New England Patriots at Denver Broncos 

One of the most exciting games this week. Tim Tebow for the first time this season, faces an elite quarterback, Tom Brady. The Broncos have lost just once when Tebow has started. The Patriots have lost just three times this year, when Tom Brady has started. Prayer might not help Tebow in this game, as Brady will be expected to throw 250+ yards. The Patriots will have to keep the Broncos from scoring in the fourth quarter, which is how most of the Broncos' victories have occurred. Sorry Tim, but skill will almost  always triumph over prayer. 

Patriots over Broncos 

New York Jets at Philadelphia Eagles 

Darrelle Revis and the Jets defense take on LeSean McCoy and the Eagles offense. The Eagles, or the so called "Dream Team" has turned into a "Nightmare Team" instead. The Eagles are three games under .500, and Andy Reid is striving to get to that prestigious mark to save his job. The Jets are in the team’s usual position, second place in the AFC East, behind the Pats. The Jets should triumph in this matchup. The Jets score 25 points to the Eagles 22. Scoring is always the difference. Jets over Eagles 

Baltimore Ravens at San Diego Chargers 

The all-star Ravens defense visit San Diego. The Chargers, for the first time in recent seasons, started off the year solid. Currently, the team is under the.500. The Ravens, have won four games in a row, and look unstoppable. The Chargers are being led by Phil Rivers, who has been a bit disappointing this year, who is in charge of beating the Ravens defense. Not gonna happen. Ravens over Chargers 

Pittsburgh Steelers at San Francisco 49ers 

The 49ers have qualified for the playoffs for the first time in a few years. The Steelers are going to try to clinch this week. Tied with the Ravens for first in the AFC North, this game has meaning to the Steelers. The 49ers are already in the playoffs, so as a result, this game does not have as much meaning to them. The Steelers are gonna play their hearts out, which will result in victory. 

Steelers over 49ers 

Week 14 Picks: Last Week 11-4

New England Patriots at Washington Redskins

The Patriots' offense have been rolling of late, though the defense has been a problem. It almost cost the Pats a victory last week. The Redskins still have quarterback troubles, that are still unsolved. The Patriots should beat the Skins in this one. Shanahan will have more work to do next year. 
Patriots over Redskins 

Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore Ravens 

The Colts almost won. Coming back from a 31-3 deficit, to lose 31-24 to the team’s big time rival, the Patriots. Unfortunately, almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Not in football. The Colts still have not won this season, though there has been close games. Sadly, the losing streak won’t end in Baltimore. Ray Rice has scored 3 touchdowns in his last three games, and against the terrible Colts rushing defense, he should add more TD’s. 

Ravens over Colts 

Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers 

This is the first meeting this season between these two NFC South rivals. Each of these teams have young, all-star quarterbacks. Unfortunately, for the Panthers, Cam Newton has struggled to find any receivers to compliment Steve Smith. Matt Ryan has had plenty of receivers to choose from. Michael Turner, Julio Jones, and Roddy White. The variety of receivers will be the difference in this matchup. Falcons over Panthers 

Houston Texans at Cincinnati Bengals 

Even with T.J. Yates playing quarterback, the Texans found out a way to beat the Falcons last week. He could have a tough time this week. The Bengals are allowing a modest 20 points per game. The team allows less passing yards per game then the Falcons did, 210 compared to 239. Andy Dalton will have an extremely difficult time against the terrific Texans defense, which is only allowing 16 points per game. If he could do it against the Falcons, then Yates should be able to upset the Bengals, and reassure his place in the NFL. Texans over Bengals 

Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions 

With AP questionable, the Vikings have to add yet another thing to a list of things to worry about. The Vikings have struggled a lot this season. The team has lost four in a row, and will most likely extend to five in a row. The Lions are also in a losing streak, but it will come to an end on Sunday. After what Tebow did to the Vikings last week, expect Stafford to throw 350 yards. Lions over Vikings 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Jacksonville Jaguars 

Josh Freeman is expected to play for the Bucs, who after a win over the Saints in Week 6, have failed to win a game. This is Freeman’s chance to end his team’s losing streak. LeGarrette Blount will contribute as much he can to the cause as well. The Jaguars offense is terrible, only scoring 13 points per game. Maurice Jones-Drew will try all he can. But when you score only 13 points, you can't expect to win many games. Buccaneers over Jaguars 

Philadelphia Eagles at Miami Dolphins 

The Eagles’ dreams are just about gone. Vince Young’s proclamation now looks stupid. Vick and the rest of his squad will try to beat the Dolphins. The Dolphins demolished the Raiders 34-7 last week. The Dolphins have been doing well in the past five games, losing just once. Still, LeSean McCoy could run his team to a much needed victory. Unfortunately for him, the Dolphins defense only allows 18 points. Wait ‘till next year Eagles fans. Dolphins over Eagles 

Kansas City Chiefs at New York Jets 

The Chiefs have gone from an 0-3 team, to a 4-3 team, and now currently to a 5-7 record. The team lost its two main skill players, Matt Cassel and Jamaal Charles to injuries. Tyler Palko has gone 1-2 in his games this season. The Jets have won two games in a row, and are pushing for an AFC wildcard spot. The Jets defense has been solid this season, but not as good as it has been in previous years. The Jets don’t have much to worry about. The Chiefs only score 13 points per game. Jets over Chiefs

New Orleans Saints at Tennessee Titans 

Drew Brees is on the verge of beating Dan Marino’s single season passing yard record. Brees only needs 1,053 yards to beat Marino’s record. If you checked your math right, if Brees averages 262.3 yards per game he should break that record by the end of the season. The Titans, don’t have much to show for at the “Q”. At the running back, Chris Johnson is finally starting to break out of his shell, with two straight 100+ yard games. The Saints allow 114 yards rushing per game and 22 points. Johnson could have a tough time. Saints over Titans 

San Francisco 49ers at Arizona Cardinals

For the second week in a row, the 49ers take on a pathetic division rival. The Cardinals should be even easier than the Rams were last week. Alex Smith and Frank Gore should score plenty on a team that allows 22 points each game, and 250 passing yards.  Kevin Kolb still hasn’t panned out to be the player that the Cardinals envisioned when he was signed this offseason. Maybe Beanie Wells will have some magic. 49ers over Rams 

Chicago Bears at Denver Broncos 

Forte and Cutler are out, what’s there to look forward to in this game for the Bears? The Chicago Bears get to see Tebow Tebowing! Other than that, not much else exciting is likely to happen to the Bears. Tebow continues to lead the Broncos on a winning path, extending the team’s winning streak to five games last week, and is trying to help the Broncos make a late play-off push.  Make it six games in a row after this week. Broncos over Bears 

Oakland Raiders at Green Bay Packers

The Raiders were demolished last week against Miami. It will be extremely hard for a team that allows 25 points per game to beat the Packers. Aaron Rodgers has a full slate of receivers to catch the ball, and looks unstoppable this year. The Packers will win this game, to be 13-0. Three games closer to perfection. Six games away from the Superbowl. Packers over Raiders 

Buffalo Bills at San Diego Chargers 

The Chargers are one of, if not the most disappointing teams this season. Phil Rivers & Co. somehow managed to get a victory last week. The Bills started out as one of the more surprising teams, but have lost five in a row recently. Both of these teams are struggling this year, and it will come down to the performance of the quarterback. In this case, Rivers should lead his team to victory.  Chargers over Bills 

St. Louis Rams at Seattle Seahawks 

Another pathetic NFC West division game. Marshawn Lynch is carrying the ball so well, that Tarvaris Jackson shouldn’t have to pass. Against the Rams atrocious run defense, Jackson may even have a chance to run the ball. The Seahawks are allowing 20 points per game, while the Rams are allowing 24. As bad as the Seahawks have been this season, the Rams have been worse. Much worse.  The Rams for some Kurt Warner-like figure to come back and play quarterback. Not gonna happen.
