Week 13 Picks

If I had money to throw away, here are the teams I'd bet on. Winning team is in CAPS.

Week 13
Thursday, Nov. 29
Green Bay at DALLAS
This should be a good game with both teams coming in at 10-1. I'm still a little skeptical because neither of them have played many tough teams yet (except when Dallas got throttled by New England) but I'll give the home edge to Tony Romo and the Cowgirls.

Sunday, Dec. 2
SAN DIEGO at Kansas City
KC has only scored 162 points all year. 'Nuff said.

Houston at TENNESSEE
Vince Young can look scarey good or he can look scarey bad at times. I hope he plays scarey good this week.

Jacksonville at INDIANAPOLIS
I hate picking Indy under any circumstance but I just don't see the Jags pulling this game off unless they stop pumping crowd noise into the RCA Dome.

BUFFALO at Washington
Buffalo has looked solid the past month (Pats game excluded) and I like the way the team plays when Trent Edwards is the QB. If you're a Bills fan, you can only hope that JP Losman has played his last game for Buffalo.

San Francisco at CAROLINA
I will be picking against San Fran the remainder of the season because the Pats have their first round pick, which is currently number 4.

Detroit at MINNESOTA
I think that Detroit is a fraud.

NY JETS at Miami
I guess the Jets, only because I'm imposing a rule that I can't pick a tie. If you have tickets to this game, do you go?

Atlanta at ST. LOUIS
Atlanta stinks and St. Louis isn't much better but I'll go with the formerly known as greatest team on turf.

SEATTLE at Philadelphia
I think that Seattle may have finally figured out that Shaun Alexander isn't that good anymore and they've gone to more of a passing game lately. If they keep it up, they'll easily win in Philly.

CLEVELAND at Arizona
After losing to the Red Sox in the ALCS, Cleveland deserves something good to happen.

DENVER at Oakland
When is JaMarcus Russell going to play for the Raiders? Seriously, your team sucks and you took a QB with the number 1 pick in the draft. You're not paying him to sit on the bench. Isn't it time to play him or do you need a little more time to evaluate if Dante Culpepper is really your QB of the future?

NY GIANTS at Chicago
I don't like either of these teams. Eli Manning looks like a scared kid but I have no confidence in Rex Grossman and it looks like 'Da Bears don't either. As long as the Giants don't kick to Devern Hester they should be okay.

TAMPA BAY at New Orleans
Tampa Bay has looked good for most of the year, while New Orleans has yet to find a rythm to anything they've done.

Cincinnati at PITTSBURGH
Can we stop including Carson Palmer among the best QBs in the NFL?

Monday, Dec. 3
NEW ENGLAND at Baltimore
Baltimore has only score 182 points all year. Their highly touted defense has given up 243 points. By comparison, New England has scored 442 points so far (I'm pretty sure that's more than twice as many as Baltimore) and their defense has only given up 185 points all year.

And just for fun, I think the final score will be 38-9, although, I'm not really sure how Baltimore could possibly manage to score that many points. For that matter, I'm not really sure how New England only scores 38. Okay, so I'm going with 45-6.
