WEEK FOURTEEN
Friday Line ~ NYP/MGM
GIANTS +2 1/2 Cardinals
Two teams trending in opposite directions. Odds say it's time for a change. However, I trust the Giants defense against Kyler Murray, and I have confidence in the Giants running game. Daniel Jones is the decisive factor. Questionable in the NFL means he is playing, but will his hamstring hold up? Interesting test case to see if Jones can be an effective pocket passer.
Loss 26-7 Cardinals
SEAHAWKS -14 Jets
Jamal Adams versus Adam Gase. Jets defense will not be nearly as aggressive without Gregg "sabotage" Williams calling the shots. Not sure Adam Gase can even spell d-e-f-e-n-s-e. Jets almost beat a parity-riddled team called the Raiders. Now Denzel Mims is out again, and Jamison Crowder (calf) may join him. That said, do you trust Sam I Am to outscore a pissed off Seahawks team coming off a huge loss against the Giants? Seattle needs to remind everyone, they are Seattle. A 35-10 final score is well within reason.
WIN 40-3 Seahawks
Packers -7 1/2 LIONS
The untrainable Lions had their fun last week against the Bears. Packers are chasing the Saints for the top seed in NFC. They wanna enter the playoffs on a roll. Packers nearly doubled up the Lions in their first meeting and have since fired Matt Patricia.
Loss 31-24 Packers
Titans -7 1/2 JAGUARS
Smashmouth has its hiccups. Looking for the Titans to bounce back in a big way after a tough loss against the Browns.
WIN 31-10 Titans
Texans -1 1/2 BEARS
The Bears defense is completely worn out ...
Loss 36-7 Bears
BUCS -6 1/2 Vikings
... whereas the Bucs coming off a bye is a good thing.
WIN 26-14 Bucs
Chiefs -7 DOLPHINS
The Sea Mammals have three credible victories. Easy to look great against the Jets and Bengals. They enter this game with a completely depleted backfield rendering them one-dimensional. Chiefs will eventually wear down Miami's defense for the cover.
Loss 33-27 Chiefs
Colts -2 1/2 RAIDERS
The parity riddled Raiders should have beaten the Chiefs, and should have fallen to the Jets. This is when they begin stumbling down the finish. Raiders are no stranger to Philip Rivers.
WIN 44-27 Colts
CHARGERS +2 1/2 Falcons
No Julio Jones. It's time the Chargers rally around their beleaguered coach especially after last week's debacle against the Patriots. Finish for a change.
WIN 20-17 Chargers
Saints -7 EAGLES
No Drew Brees ... no problem. This may be Sean Payton's best season as coach before or since winning the Super Bowl. Saints defense will ground the Birds.
Loss 24-21 Eagles
Cowboys -3 1/2 BENGALS
I dub thee Toilet Bowl XIV. For as much as I enjoy watching Jerry's World crumble like a sun baked Texas cow patty ...
WIN 30-7 Cowboys
PANTHERS -3 1/2 Broncos
Same records, different talent levels ... lay the points at home.
Loss 32-17 Broncos
Arizona 49ERS -3 No Names
Niners are homeless, not hapless. Not the kind of season they anticipated. The talent and know-how is there, they just need to get it done.
Loss 23-15 No Names
BILLS -1 1/2 Steelers
Steelers get their all-pro center back but they may be too tuckered out to hang with the young Bills, New York State's best football team. Am I confident about this pick? Hell no, but should be fun.
WIN 26-15 Bills
Schmear of the Week
Saints -7
LOSS ... un-freakin believable
Good luck and have a great Football Sunday, everyone!
