NFL Picks of the Week

Last Week: 10-6

Atlanta at St. Louis: winner- Atlanta Spread: Rams by 3 1/2
My Prediction:Falcons 13, Rams 10
The Rams haven't won a game at home all year and they will be edged out by the Falcons on Sunday afternoon.
Buffalo at Washington: winner- Washington
Spread: Redskins by 5 1/2
My Prediction: Washington 20, Buffalo 14
The Redskins are a better team than they have shown and Jason Campbell will step up in this one.
Detroit at Minnesota: winner- Minnesota
Spread: Vikings by 4
My Prediction: Minnesota 24, Detroit 21
The Lions are on a three game losing streak and the Vikings running backs (Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor) are the best in the league by far.
Houston at Tennessee: winner- Tennessee
Spread: Titans by 4
My Prediction: Tennessee 21, Texans 14
Both teams badly need to win this game to heighten their playoff hopes. Vince Young is a leader and will show that in this game.
Jacksonville at Indianapolis: winner- Indianapolis
Spread: Colts by 7
My Prediction: Indianapolis 35, Jacksonville 14
Very important game for both teams. The Jaguars are a good team but this game won't be as close as it seems to be. The Colts have struggled with the Jags in recent history. This game is the game that might decide the AFC South.
New York Jets at Miami: winner- New York Jets
Spread: Dolphins by 1
My Prediction: Jets 14, Dolphins 13
This game may be Miami's best chance to win a game. Both quarterbacks are playing well considering these teams combined record this year is 2-20.
San Diego at Kansas City: winner- San Diego
Spread: Chargers by 6
My Prediction: Chargers 32-23 Chiefs
The Chargers have been playing well recently and LT will have a good game. Phillip Rivers will also play well.
Seattle at Philadelphia: winner- Philadelphia
Spread: Eagles by 3
My Prediction: Eagles 24, Seahawks 21
The Eagles have the momentum after almost pulling the upset of the millennium against the Patriots. A.J. Feeley will play well again, churning up the QB situation in Philly even more than before.
San Francisco at Carolina: winner- San Francisco
Spread: Panthers by 3
My Prediction: 49ers 24, Panthers 20
The 49ers finally came alive last week with a big win. Frank Gore has to have another good game for the 49ers to succeed.
Tampa Bay at New Orleans: winner- New Orleans
Spread: Saints by 3
My Prediction: Saints 28, Buccaneers 14
This is a very important game for the Saints and I think that they won't waste this chance against a division rival.
Cleveland at Arizona: winner- Cleveland
Spread: even
My Prediction: Browns 35, Cardinals 33
This will be a very good game between two teams looking for a playoff spot.
Denver at Oakland: winner- Denver
Spread: Denver by 3
My Prediction: Broncos 14, Raiders 10
This will be a game where both offenses will struggle.
New York Giants at Chicago: winner- Giants
Spread: Giants by 1 1/2
My Prediction: Giants 23, Bears 20
Eli Manning threw for four touchdowns last week, but who cares if three of them were to the other team. Even with that said, this will be a close game but the Giants will win it by running.
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh: winner- Pittsburgh
Spread: Pittsburgh by 7
My Prediction: Steelers 28, Bengals 24
This will be a closer games than most people may think but Big Ben Roethlisberger will lead his team to a win down the stretch.
New England at Baltimore: winner- New England
Spread: Patriots by 20
My Prediction: Patriots 46, Ravens 13
The Pats are disappointed with their win last week against the Eagles and they will voice their anger at the Ravens.

My Game Breakers

Ben Roethlisberger: He will be the key for the Pittsburgh Steelers in winning their game against the Bengals. He has shown that he can lead this offense on by carrying it on his back through even the most treacherous situations. He will take over the game this week.

Frank Gore: He has to have a good game if the 49ers even think about winning against the Panthers. It is as simple as that. He is coming off a good week last week and should continue that this week.

A. J. Feeley: If Andy Reid starts Donovan McNabb over Feeley the Eagles won't win their game against the Seahawks.
