Week 12 NFL Picks

RAMS (-3) over Cardinals

            I just bet $5 on the 39.5 under, so get your life savings wagered on the over ASAP.

St. Louis 17, Arizona 10

Confidence Score = 6

JETS (-9.5) over Bills

            Just when things were starting to get worse in Buffalo, Fred Jackson was lost for the season.

New York 38, Buffalo 17

Confidence Score = 13

BENGALS (-7) over Browns

            It’s plausible that Cincinnati will over look Cleveland, but a strong second half from the Bengals will be enough to cover the spread.

Cincinnati 24, Cleveland 10

Confidence Score = 7

Texans (-6.5) over JAGUARS

            Matt Leinart won’t look bad in Jacksonville, which is easy to do when he probably won’t throw the ball more than 15 times.

Houston 20, Jacksonville 7

Confidence Score = 10

COLTS (+3.5) over Panthers

            The Colts have a two-game lead in the Andrew Luck sweepstakes, which means they can win this week so they don’t go 0-16.

Indianapolis 21, Carolina 20

Confidence Score = 2

TITANS (-3.5) over Buccaneers

            People are a little too excited about Tampa after their performance in Green Bay last week.

Tennessee 23, Tampa Bay 16

Confidence Score = 9

FALCONS (-9.5) over Vikings

            No Adrian Peterson equals too much Great White Hope (aka Toby Gerhart). That’s not a good thing.

Atlanta 34, Minnesota 10

Confidence Score = 12

Bears (+4) over RAIDERS

            Strangest game of the week to pick. Ultimately, I think Chicago’s defense will shut down Oakland.

Chicago 14, Oakland 6

Confidence Score = 1

SEAHAWKS (-3.5) over Redskins

            I’m way to confident in a team quarterbacked by Tavaris Jackson, but I don’t care.

Seattle 24, Washington 10

Confidence Score = 15

Patriots (-3.5) over EAGLES

            I have a feeling that Bill Belichick will enjoy driving a stake through the heart of the Eagle’s 2011 season.

New England 34, Philadelphia 21

Confidence Score = 11

Broncos (+6) over CHARGERS

            God hates the Chargers. God loves his quarterback. I rest my case.

Denver 24, San Diego 23

Confidence Score = 4

Steelers (-10.5) over CHIEFS

            Pittsburgh could run no offensive plays and probably still win this game by double digits.

Pittsburgh 41, Kansas City 3

Confidence Score = 14

Giants (+7.5) over SAINTS

            Call me naïve, but I think this line is 4.5 points too high.

New Orleans 31, New York 28

Confidence Score = 3

Thursday Picks = 1-2 (I'm 1-4 picking Thursday games. Weird)
Last Week Picks = 7-6-1
LW Top-5 = 3-2
Season Picks = 82-70-8
S Top-5 = 28-25-2
