Week 13 Straight Up Picks

  • NYJ @ Buf - Da Bills
  • Phi @ Atl - Fly Eagles Fly
  • Stl @ Chi - Da Bears
  • Det @ Cin - Da Bengals
  • Ten @ Ind - I’d love to be wrong here because I am on the Titans bandwagon, but the Colts are a well-oiled machine. Colts
  • Den @ KC - Chiefs on an inside tip from my man, Adam Schefter
  • NE @ Mia - The Pats are 1-4 on the road? Wow! I still think they win.
  • Oak @ Pit - Oakland should forfeit and save Uncle Al the money. Steelers.
  • NO @ Was - Who Dey?.. Not the ‘Skins.
  • TB @ Car - Da Bucs
  • Hou @ Jac - Jack Dick Rio’s Jags
  • SD @ Cle - The Browns should pay the Chargers for inconviencing them for having to make this trip. Da Bolts.
  • Dal @ NYG - Let the Romo meltdown begin! Giants.
  • SF @ Sea - Nothing finer than my 49ers and their (finally implemented for 4 full quarters) spread offense.
  • Min @ Ari - Mr. Warner please play and embarass the old man and his team on primetime, thank you. Wishful thinking- Vikings.
  • Bal @ GB - Da Pack

Week 12 Against the Spread Picks

  • NYJ @ Buf - Bills +3…loss
  • Phi @ Atl - Eagles -5.5… with Ryan & Turner out, this line should be much higher, possible trap?
  • Stl @ Chi - Rams +9… Cutler will find a way to keep it close
  • Det @ Cin - Lions +13… 13 is a lot to cover if the Bengals end up running the ball 45 times again like they did last week. I think they will.
  • Ten @ Ind - Titans +7… That’s way too many points. The oddsmakers must not have much confidence in the Titans. If they’re right, they’ll make a killing as all the suckers (like myself) will take the hot Titans and the points.
  • Den @ KC - Chiefs +5.5… Here’s my tip from Schefter “As if it weren’t enough Chiefs are retiring Derrick Thomas’ number at halftime, Broncos also have a 1-17 franchise mark in December in KC.”
  • NE @ Mia - Dolphins +4.5… I think the Pats will win, but I’m not totally confident. I’ll hedge this one.
  • Oak @ Pit - Steelers -15… Lots of points to cover but the Steelers could have their backers in the clear by halftime.
  • NO @ Was - Saints -10… I don’t like laying that many points on a road team, but the Saints have only won by less than 10 twice this year. One game they won exactly by 10 so in their other 10 games they’ve won by more than 80% of the time, I’d take that.
  • TB @ Car - Bucs +6… For such a crappy team, these Bucs sure do like to put up a fight. I think the Panthers are all fought out.
  • Hou @ Jac - Houston +1… Another game, I have low confidence in. I’ll hedge.
  • SD @ Cle - Chargers -14… So if the Chargers score 3 TDs and a FG they cover because the Browns are only avg about 1 TD a game. Not sure they can do even that vs the Chargers hot D. Sidenote- I love how the Chargers have slowly crept back to the top of the AFC. Go Bolts!
  • Dal @ NYG - Giants -1.5… I have no confidence in Romo down the stretch. I’ll let him prove me wrong.
  • SF @ Sea - 49ers Pk… Unless this is a trap, this is easy money. The Seahawks are awful but now that I’ve said that the Seahawks will upset the Niners and ruin their playoff hopes. 
  • Min @ Ari - Vikings -3… The Vikings only have to cover 3 with Warner a gametime decision? If he doesn’t play this will be easy money. I’ll take my chances that he doesn’t.
  • Bal @ GB - Packers -3… The Ravens could barely beat Dennis Dixon.. I wonder how they’ll do against the All-World Rodgers..

Well that’s if for this week! Good luck! Remember the house always wins! Holler at me www.twitter.com/fantasylion or john@fantasylion.com.
