Week 12 Picks
We should be better at this…
This week Duncan shoots into the lead after some ridiculously poor predictions.
Duncan: 5
Dan: 4
Jon: 3
Charlie: 2
Anyway lets close our eyes and point to a team…
New Orleans Saints @ Atlanta Falcons
Lets go back one year. This would have been a ridiculously one-sided game. This game is still one-sided but the teams have swapped places.
Dan: Saints Win
Duncan: Saints Win
Jon: Saints Win
Charlie: Saints Win
New York Jets @ Baltimore Ravens
Good Geno? Bad Flacco?
Dan: Ravens Win
Duncan: Jets Win
Jon: Ravens Win
Charlie: Ravens Win
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns
Pittsburgh have built up some momentum. Cleveland…haven’t
Dan: Steelers Win
Duncan: Browns Win
Jon: Steelers Win
Charlie: Steelers Win
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Detroit Lions
Tampa have hit some form, even despite everyone on the team apparently hating their Head Coach. The Lions have flown a little to close to success and are now determined to lose a few to keep them in the running, not to make the Play Offs.
Dan: Bucs Win
Duncan: Lions Win
Jon: Lions Win
Charlie: Lions Win
Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers
One team rocked by a huge injury to their QB. Yes Ponder could very well be out.
Dan: Packers Win
Duncan: Packers Win
Jon: Vikings Win
Charlie: Packers Win
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans
The Jags short win streak came to an end last week which really ended their play off hopes. The Texans seem desperate to lose games by taking Keenum out and putting Schaub in.
Dan: Texans Win
Duncan: Texans Win
Jon: Jaguars Win
Charlie: Texans Win
San Diego Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs
Rivers could have a return to last season’s form in this one and throw at least 3 picks. The Chiefs had a bump back down to earth with a hard loss against the Broncos.
Dan: Chiefs Win
Duncan: Chiefs Win
Jon: Chiefs Win
Charlie: Chargers Win
Carolina Panthers @ Miami Dolphins
The Panthers are on a fairly epic hot streak, largely in part thanks to some questionable refereeing decisions. The Dolphins have managed to stay in the Play Off running by keeping under the radar and out of the press.
Dan: Panthers Win
Duncan: Panthers Win
Jon: Panthers Win
Charlie: Panthers Win
Chicago Bears @ St Louis Rams
The battle of the Long brothers in this one. Zac Stacey might actually break the single season rushing record in one game here.
Dan: Bears Win
Duncan: Bears Win
Jon: Bears Win
Charlie: Bears Win
Indianapolis Colts @ Arizona Cardinals
The Indianapolis Luck go up against the stealth Play Off challengers. Seriously…they’re Ninjas.
Dan: Colts Win
Duncan: Colts Win
Jon: Colts Win
Charlie: Colts Win
Tennessee Titans @ Oakland Raiders
McGloin has a genuine chance of being the Raiders starter and could be the underdog story of the season. The Titans however have a great Defence and could take some wind out of the Raiders sails.
Dan: Raiders Win
Duncan: Titans Win
Jon: Raiders Win
Charlie: Raiders Win
Dallas Cowboys @ New York Giants
The Cowboys have found it hard over the last few weeks with the Eagles taking the no. 1 position in the division. The Giants seem to have a found a way to kick themselves to victory.
Dan: Cowboys Win
Duncan: Giants Win
Jon: Cowboys Win
Charlie: Cowboys Win
Denver Broncos @ New England Patriots
The battle of 2 of the greatest QB’s of all time…Just a shame Mannings injured and Brady seems to be struggling a little. Should be good game regardless.
Dan: Broncos Win
Duncan: Broncos Win
Jon: Patriots Win
Charlie: Broncos Win
San Francisco 49ers @ Washington
The Niners Defence are brutal and scary. RGIII tends to spend a lot of time looking scared. Ouch.
Dan: Niners Win
Duncan: Niners Win
Jon: Niners Win
Charlie: Niners Win
With these picks we’re 3 quarters of the way through the season… Maybe we’ll get better at it next year.
