I had a pretty good week picking the games last week. I went 13-3 and easily could have gone 12-2, as I flip flopped on the Houston-Cincinnati game for some time before picking the Bengals. This week brings my record for the season up to 139-69, not bad but still have a few more weeks ahead of me.
I missed the Houston, Philadelphia and Arizona wins last week for those of you keeping score at home.
Onto the Week 15 Games
Thursday Night Football
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Atlanta Falcons
Were the 41 points Jacksonville scored last week a fluke or something Jaguar fans can look forward to in the upcoming seasons. I think it was more of a product of Tampa playing that poorly and finally seeing MJD used in the passing attack more. The Jags could be a tricky play here but I'll stick to the home Falcons here. Atlanta 24 Jacksonville 20
Saturday Night Football
Dallas Cowboys @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
This week we get a special Saturday night edition of football. It pits the hot/cold Cowboys against the lately lifeless Buccaneers. Well I really can't formulate a scenario for Tampa Pulling this one out. I think Dallas will score at will here. Dallas 35 Tampa 17
Sunday Games
Cincinnati Bengals @ St. Louis Rams
The Rams are awful. The Bengals have a good defense and a highlight reel receiver. Not to mention Benson ran well against the Ravens a few weeks ago, and everyone's been running well vs. the Rams. It shouldn't matter where this game is played. If I were in the Rams PR department I'd be trying to get the Cards to return for this game as well, perhaps their only chance. Cincinnati 21 St. Louis 6
Miami Dolphins @ Buffalo Bills
The only real storylines in this gamer are the recent firing of Miami's HC and the possibility of ex-Bill JP Losman running the offense for the fins. The Bills are in disarray and I just can't pick em, especially after getting annihilated against them earlier this year. Miami 21 Buffalo 13
Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts
Will this be the week. No. Tennessee 28 Indianapolis 10
Washington Redskins @ New York Giants
The Skins have been playing better as of late and Grossman's been kind of good to boot. But the Giants can score more and therefore they'll win easy. Giants 34 Skins 20
New Orleans Saints @ Minnesota Vikings
Saint easily. NO 38 Minnesota 13
Green Bay Packers @ Kansas City Chiefs
Packers are the Packers. KC is well under new management. Romeo takes the HC role and I believe we'll see Orton under center. This one will not be close, even without Jennings for GB. GB 45 KC 20
Carolina Panthers @ Houston Texans
Carolina has their hands filled with that Texans Defense. Newton is fun to watch, but so is Arian Foster. Could actually be a pretty good game. Probably the 1:00pm game I'll be watching. Houston 24 Carolina 17
Seattle Seahawks @ Chicago Bears
Hanie vs a tough Seahawk defense. Beast Mode Prevails. Seattle 23 Chicago 10
Detroit Lions @ Oakland Raiders
Raiders are slipping and the Lions should keep them in slip mode. Look for a concerted effort to get Megatron the ball in this one as he's been pretty invisible the past few weeks. Detroit 31 Oakland 21
NY Jets @ Philadelphia Eagles
If the Eagles show up this game could go either way, however they've only done that a couple times this year. The Jets are not an offensive powerhouse by any stretch of the imagination either though, so this could be a game. That said I'll take the jets. NY 27 Philadelphia 20
Cleveland Browns @ Arizona Cardinals
This is the stinker game most won't see. Arizona 16 Cleveland 6
New England Patriots @ Denver Broncos
Will Tebow Time Strike again. It would be nice to see, but I just don't see them being in position to win this one late. NE 28 Denver 13
Sunday Night Football
Baltimore Ravens @ San Diego Chargers
Could be a good game to watch. The Chargers are awesome in December and the Ravens can be had if the stars align for the bolt. I like this as a game to watch and I'm hoping it isn't decided until late in the 4th. I want the Chargers to win but I think the Ravens will come out on top. Baltimore 35 San Diego 31
Monday Night Football
Pittsburgh Steelers @ San Francisco 49'ers
Finally a game worth watching on MNF. If Big Ben plays, which I think he will, it should be a great game to watch and see how Bruce Arians attacks the SF linebackers and secondary. I have to believe they won't run all that much and Patrick Willis sounds like he's back this week, which is all the more reason to stay away from the ground. The niners aren't very good offensively yet, but can get into field goal range almost consistently. I think the difference between getting FG's over TD's will bite them as it did last week. Pittsburgh 26 SF 22
Enjoy the week of Football.
