MrWeed13, pretty similar to some of my ideas about that game, best of luck.
EuroPA,
B3 This is an absolute must win for the Chargers this weekend, and I
think that's going to be stressed all weekend in San Diego. I don't
like their chances making the playoffs sitting at 2-5 with a loss this
weekend and I think they would agree after already dropping their only
two games inside the division. This might be one of the more
embarrassing teams on the road, but I like what I have seen from them
at home and overall on defense. We didn't see it last week, but I
believe that the Patriots will start missing Randy Moss at the
conclusion of this game when the Patriots are playing from behind. As
bad as San Diego has played, they still lead the NFL in total
team/passing offense, but one of the main reasons you have to like them
at home against the Patriots is their league leading pass defense and
total defense. I like San Diego to cover the 3 here and win by a
touchdown or more somewhere around 31-24.
SaintsFan504, The
Browns offense has struggled the last few weeks, but defensively, they
have been pretty good this year only giving up roughly 20pts a game.
Cleveland has been pretty successful in the redzone, and I like my
chances with Hillis against a suspect rush defense to score a few
times. Obviously the Browns need to put up more than 10 points to
probably cover the number here, but I don't think it will be much more
than that. I think the Saints win here, but fail to cover with a final
somewhere around 27-24 - 17.
WilliamMunny, I watched a lot of
the Baltimore game last weekend against New England and wasn't
impressed with the chain of events that led to them losing after having
a 20-10 lead and how their offense has been performing in the redzone.
Although it's certainly a different set of circumstances playing on the
road in New England, I still haven't been impressed with the Ravens
much at all this year. This is a Buffalo team that's fully capable of
keeping it within the number and rallying from behind to backdoor the
big number. I don't think Fitzpatrick will put up quite the numbers he
did against New England, but I think their offense will do just enough
to make some noise and lose by no more than ten on the road here. I
think we'll see a score somewhere around 24-14, 24-17 when it's all
said and done in Baltimore.
Tiger9123, I like Miami to win
s/u this weekend, and Dallas to finally get back on track with a
convincing win by 10 or more pts against the Giants on the center
stage.
Best of luck to all of you, always remember, I'm
not trying to persuade anyone to tail my picks or get you off of your
original selection. Just simply trying to generalize some of the
questions that were asked above. There's a flurry of reasons on why I
make the picks I do, but I've never really been one to act like all of
my picks are the grand finale as an argument can always be made on each
side of the spectrum and I always appreciate the insight myself.
That's why I normally just post my picks, hope that I remain green
every week and keep betting the card in hopes that if there is a toss
up game for someone out there, it might help them move one way or
another. If there is any advice I can give, it's always go with your
first instinct and never second guess yourself. The key is to be in
the green at the end of the day, and that's what I hope takes place in
my forecast, as well as everyone here on covers unless they are fading
my picks, jk.
Best of luck,
FF
