Here we go, week 12 in the NFL and I am back to the familiar territory of coming off a winning pick. Alright, all hubris aside, I squeaked by with another close call, Jacksonville only beating the Bills by 3. I still do have the safety net going though that I have not picked Indianapolis, Minnesota, New England, Cincinnati, and New Orleans. These are all “sure things” (if you overlook Cincy’s loss to the Raiders) so I can still get one more strike before I start to use picks like that.
Well here we go, previous picks, and this weeks:
Week 1: Seattle Seahawks over the Saint Louis Rams. Seattle 28, Saint Louis 0.
Week 2: Washington Redskins over the Saint Louis Rams. Washington 9, Saint Louis 7.
Week 3: Philadelphia Eagles over the Kansas City Chiefs. Philadelphia 34, Kansas City 14.
Week 4: Chicago Bears over the Detroit Lions. Chicago 48, Detroit 24.
Week 5: Dallas Cowboys over the Kansas City Chiefs. Dallas 26, Kansas City 20.
Week 6: Pittsburgh Steelers over the Cleveland Browns. Pittsburgh 27, Cleveland 14.
Week 7: San Diego Chargers over the Kansas City Chiefs. San Diego 37, Kansas City 7.
Week 8: Houston Texans over the Buffalo Bills. Houston 31, Buffalo 10.
Week 9: Atlanta Falcons over the Washington Redskins. Atlanta 31, Washington 17.
Week 10: Denver Broncos over the Washington Redskins. Washington 27, Denver 17.
Week 11: Jacksonville Jaguars over the Buffalo Bills. Jacksonville 18, Buffalo 15.
Week 12: Green Bay Packers over the Detroit Lions. (Score TBD)
So even though Stafford went into complete BEAST mode this past Sunday, being in division and against one of the best fantasy quarterbacks in the game right now (cuz we all know fantasy stats matter more in real life than the intangibles and final scores) I don’t expect Stafford to have another shocking performance (mainly because he dislocated his shoulder against the Browns and still has not practiced). So barring Culpepper throwing 400 yds and 3 TDs, I’d say the Packers have it.
This week for betting, I am going against my gut, and putting money on my Broncos again, moneyline, over the NY Football Giants. The moneyline is +220 odds, so I have to. To explain that a little better, for +220 odds, if you bet $100.00, you stand to win $220 if you are right, and only lose $100 if you are wrong. Also though, the higher the odds (and +220 are damn high odds) the less likely it is to happen. Usually unless you know something others don’t, or have some crazy reason to do so, betting like that is not smart. But I just had some windfall income, so why not.
