Week 15 Picks: Tebow Time?

People Will be Tebowing All Across America Today.
But After They See The Patriots, Will it Continue?
Uhh.
Hell Nah.

Week 15, sunday edition, is here at last. I have had trouble sleeping these past few nights knowing that the battle between QB gods was only a few days away. Will Tebow Time continue? Will Brady's arm be too much to overcome in the 4th quarter? Who Knows. But what I do know is this: my picks are so hot that not even Cowboys coach Jason Garrett could ice me. 

Miami vs. @Buffalo (pick) 
Did the Bills really beat the Patriots this year? Were the Bills really once 5-2? Yes to both of those and a No to a victory today for the Bills.
Pick: Miami

@Chicago vs. Seattle (+3.5)
The Seattle Seahawks are sneaky good. Beastmode. Skittles. Yada yada. I forsee an outright victory as long as they contain Hester on special teams. Tavaris Jackson FTW! 
Pick: Seattle(+3.5)

Tennessee vs. @Indianapolis (+6.5)
funny.
Pick: Tennessee(-6.5)

Green Bay vs. @Kansas City (+14)
Always tough laying 14 points on the road. However, KC has no QB and have failed to compete in the past several weeks. Blowout losses against the Patriots and Jets in recent weeks point to a slaughter.
Pick: Green Bay(-14)

Cincinnati vs. @St. Louis (+6)
Cincinnati needs a victory to stay in playoff contention. Sam Bradford is out. The Bengals have a solid rush D, which should prevent Jackson from carrying the Rams to victory. I like the Bengals for a touchdown victory.
Pick: Cincinnati(-6)

Greg's Gurantee
New Orleans vs. @Minnesota(+7)
One thing to note here. Minnesota is laying claim to the league's 27th ranked pass defense. New Orleans has the best passing offense in the league. AND THEY ARE ONLY A TOUCHDOWN FAVORITE!?!?!?!
Pick: NOLA(-7)

@New Jersey Football Giants of The Meadowlands vs. Washington(+7)
DO the NJFGTM stink it up like you know they do when they should easily win? Everything points to a Giants victory, especially given the dismal season by the skins. However, Washington went toe to toe with the mighty Patriots offense last week and that gives the gamblers a cause for concern. It is going to be a chilly one in Jersey. The ingredients are here for a Meadowlands Meltdown: but it is going to be too cold to formulate. The skins have no motivation.
Pick: Giants(-7)

@Houston vs. Carolina(+6.5)
If Carolina was given 7 I would be all over it. However, Houston's defense is sneaky good. 3rd in pass defense and 4th in run defense. There is no way you knew that. When it comes down to it Houston is gonna make the stops and Cam Newton doesn't play D.
Pick: Texans(-6.5)

Detroit vs. @Oakland(+1)
Must win game for both teams. Both are not known to step up when needed to. A tie here would be poetic justice. Yet, these are far to uncommon. I think the absence of Oakland's rushing attack in recent games gives the edge to the Lions.
Pick: Mo.Town(-1)

Brady vs. @Tebow(+6.5)
No way the Patriots don't win this game. No way the don't win by more than 7. Poor line here. Take advantage. Brady is gonna look to pad the lead well in the advance of the tebow quarter (4th).
Pick: Patriots(-6.5)

@Philadelphia vs. New Jersey Jets(+3)
oooooohlala: Rex Ryan an underdog against the eagles. Didn't take too long for the Philly support to rise up once again. But seriously have we seen this before or have we seen this before? Philly is not that great of a football team and the Jets play their best ball when they are counted out.
Pick: NYJ(+3)

@Arizona vs. Cleveland(+7)
McCoy is out for the Browns. The Cardinals are one of the hottest teams in the league and are at home. Playoff bound?
Pick: Zonaaa(-7)

Baltimore vs. @SandyEggo(+2.5)
Baltimore is going west. This is always a difficult trip for any east coast team, especially with a late game. West coast teams are 54-28 in Monday Night games, and while I recognize that this is a Sunday Night game this statistic that can't be overlooked. Chargers are gaining a little momentum. Look for them to squeeze it out. This is a dicey pick, I would undoubtedly recommend it if it was a plus 3.
Pick: San Diego(+2.5)

Saturday Night F00tball



Saturday NIght Football is Back! So Am I!
Phew, I didn't know what to do with out another Saturday of no football. Last week was a killer after the college slate ended.
So here we are Mid-December.
Must Win for the 'boys.
What A Stage!
What a Matchup!
Tampa is coming off 7 straight L's . . .
Couldn't ask for more. Well, except for a missed field goal by Dallas to end the game.

Dallas sits here as a 7 point road favorite. Tampa has the 27th ranked pass defense with a cute 28th rush defense to match. Listen, Romo will have the passing game in hands. Tampa will struggle, especially if they fail to win any significant battles in the special teams game. I would say this has the classic Romolapse waiting to happen late in the 4th quarter, especially given the must win scenario. However, Tamap Bay has done nothing imppressive with the ball in the past few weeks and I do not for see a dominant performance from the Tampa O.

Dallas vs. @Tampa Bay (+7)

The Pick: Dallas

While you are too bored waiting around for Sunday's games to start take a listen to Rich Eisen's Podcast. I will have a profile later this week. As well as picks tomorrow.
