NFL: Week 14 Picks
So our overall record for NFL picks to date is 63/87, which works out to about 73%. We fell a whole 3% due to last week's less than impressive 9/16 mark. There were some crazy games that had outcomes that I would've never predicated such as: Chiefs over Panthers, Rams over 49ers (OT again), and the banged up Steelers over the Ravens in Baltimore. Those Detroit Lions have continued to frustrate me this season, and they stayed true to form by blowing a 12 point lead late to the Colts. Furthermore, some teams have clinched their divisions (New England, Atlanta, Denver), while Houston has clinched an AFC wildcard. This makes some games more difficult to predict as some of these teams may be resting key players. This probably won't be the case just yet but it's something to keep in mind.
It's almost needless to say that we need a bounce back week but we're saying it anyway. Here goes our Week 14 Picks...
Denver Broncos* over Oakland Raiders (Thursday nighter)
Pittsburgh Steelers over San Diego Chargers
Indianapolis Colts over Tennessee Titans
New York Jets* over Jacksonville Jaguars
Chicago Bears* over Minnesota Vikings
Atlanta Falcons* over Carolina Panthers
Tampa Bay Buccaneers over Philadelphia Eagles
St. Louis Rams* over Buffalo Bills
Cincinnati Bengals over Dallas Cowboys
Washington Redskins over Baltimore Ravens
Cleveland Browns over Kansas City Chiefs
San Francisco 49ers over Miami Dolphins
New York Giants over New Orleans Saints
Seattle Seahawks over Arizona Cardinals
Green Bay Packers over Detroit Lions (Sunday nighter)
New England Patriots over Houston Texans (Monday nighter)
- * indicates road team picked
- 3/6 correct road picks last week
- 5/16 road teams picked this week
- _______ indicates bold pick
- no byes this week
The Rams/Bills game should be a good one. The Rams have a lot more to play for than the Bills and so they'll play with more urgency and should come out on top.
The match-up of the week is definitely the Houston Texans at Foxborough taking on the Patriots. This will help to gauge where the Pats are this year and it will also give us a chance to see how good the Texans actually are.
The bold picks of the week is another home team in the Redskins. They are the bold pick because the Ravens are coming off a bad loss to the rival Steelers, and will be more than hungry for a win in the capital city.
Enjoy the games folks!
