Hello Cover community, Today I share my picks for the first time to the public. Constructive critcism is always accepted.
49ers -4 @ Rams
Man, I wish I would have predicted the Rams sitting starters Goff and Gurley when the line was Niners +3. Now, I know that the Rams are running perhaps the best 3 phase set-up with their ST, Defense, and Offense all flying high but I expect the Brady prodigy to overcome the back-ups of the Rams. Sean McVay will keep his players fresh with rotations of 2nd and 3rd string players in preperation for their playoff run. The niners squad is feeling good about their future and I honestly expect with a good draft and off season this team will boast a 8-8 or even 10-6 record next season. Take the Niners -4.
Seahawks -9 vs Cardinals / Over 38
I know the community is sitting at about 50/50 on this game but I'm buying into this Seattle team and heres why. They got torn apart 2 weeks ago by the Rams at home and quite frankly a few teams this year beat them up in old Century Link. This is a resilient team though with a strong shot at the playoff's if they can pull off a win and see the Falcons fall. Either way this is a division game and Seattle will play tuff all 4 quarters no matter the score of the Falcons game (same kickoff time). The defense also realizes and understands this is going to be their last game as a team and they will lay it all on the line for injured players such as Bam Bam Kam, Sherman, and Avril to name a few of that depleted defense. Expect Wilson to do Wilson things here. Take the Hawks and the Over. Seattle 27 Cardinals 17
Vikings -12 vs Bears (pick of the week)
I've been saying it for a few years now, Case Keenum is the best starting "back up" QB in this league and deserves to start over many other QB's in this league, just don't go to the Browns where the QB's die. A superbowl in their home dome, is it possible? Vikings still fighting for that 1st round bye and I expect them to come out guns blazing. Now I know people will question the offensive line (I believe this is their 8th time changing the line up due to injuries) and if it will be able to stand up against this Bears D line but I still believe they get the job done. Trubisky just doesnt cut it for me and I dont see him getting anywhere near upsetting this Vikings in their home stadium, even if Howard has a big game against a stout Vikings D allowing just 87 yards per game. I'm calling it now if the Steelers can knock off the Pats it'll be Steelers/Vikings in the Superbowl. Take the Vikings -12.

Ughh...If only this game was at Arrowhead, it would probably be my pick of the week. Either way though I'll make this one quick. Lynch is the next Leaf, he's simply a flop. With no QB to mentor him he will never amount to a starting QB in the otherwise stacked AFC. Chiefs will be sitting their startes here like Hunt and Smith so I understand why people may lay off this game as it means nothing to the Chiefs but even playing back-ups and at half engergy I don't see the Broncos putting a string of plays together to win this game...ever, expect a field goal battle in Mile High. Take the Chiefs +4. Chiefs 13 Broncos 9
Panthers +3.5 @ Falcons / Under 45
It seems like I really like the division games this week. Look its simple, Panthers are still turning out a solid offensive performance as long as Cam is behind center and as for the Falcons, I just don't think they have gotten over their frustrating loss to the Patriots in the superbowl quite yet. That being said I do expect this to be a very tight game and could very well come down to whoever has the ball last. I'm putting my faith in the hands of Kuechly and Davis to put the game away late or Matty Ice pulling off yet another 2 min drive that ends with a field goal and a win by 3. I got this game ending 2 ways. Take the Panthers +3.5 and the Under. Panthers 21 Falcons 20 ... Falcons 24 Panthers 21 (push on the Under)
Lions 1H -4 vs Packers
I took this bet first half only because I didn't like the spread as high as it was for the whole game. Look, the Packers are well just depressing without Aaron Rodgers, it's like imagining Seattle without Wilson. The Packers defense hasn't been playing great all year and in my honest opinion Stafford is a bit underated. He's done a lot for this team since he's been in the league and I feel if Johnson gave it a few more seasons with Tate as his number 2 and Johnson as his 1 they could have definitley made a few deep play off runs or even bring home the Lombardi to that city. Back to the game though, it's a division game and as always these games are played hard and both teams want to win so no matter the importance of this game outside of it being a division match-up expect the more skilled Lions team to pop the game open early. Take the Lions 1H -4. Lions 10 Packers 3 (@ half)

Why wait for week 17? Former member that got put in the penalty box.....Scal?
I've been a follower of Covers threads on the NBA and NFL for maybe 2 months, deciding to go public with my picks and thoughts to see how people would take them and considering starting weekly picks and write ups for the NFL next season. So to answer your question no I'm not in the "penalty box" just simply joining late.

Sorry for the late reply, when you live in Vegas you tend to over celebrate New Year's. 6-2 for my first public week, feeling good. I don't know if I'll be posting write-ups for the playoffs but it is a possibility, stay tuned.
