NFL Picks: Week 15 Results
Thursday
L/L - Broncos +1.5 at Texans: Broncos outright. Apparently, I suck on Thursday games that don’t fall on Thanksgiving.
Saturday
L/L - Bengals -8 at Niners: Bengals cover. Apparently, the Bengals really suck ass. Like… not just a little suck but a whole new level of suck that no one previously knew of.
Sunday
W/W - Packers -10.5 at Rams: Packers cover. The Cowboys just opened up the door for the Packers to have all their games in the playoffs at Lambeau. I’d like to point out… the chances of the Packers losing an NFC Championship at Lambeau field is roughly the same as a Hall of Fame pitcher giving up 8 runs in the first inning to a last place team with the playoffs on the line. Err…
W/W - Falcons +10 at Bucs: Bucs cover. I can’t believe I’ve ridden this bandwagon pick to like 11-4 against the spread this year.
L/L - Seahawks -7.5 at Panthers: Seahawks cover. I hate the Seahawks. Could they get up for one road game this year? Maybe?
L/L - Bills +5.5 at Browns: Upset of the week, Bills outright. This game is the reason that indoor and warm weather football stadiums should be outlawed. I’m kind of bummed about my Albany Bills. I though they could make run this season.
W/W - Titans -4 at Chiefs: Titans cover. Apparently, I can pick Titans games so long as it’s super obvious. Any thought at all invalidates it.
W/W! - Ravens -3.5 at Dolphins: F*ck it… Dolphins outright. Nailed that shit. This game actually saved me from getting knocked down hard in one of my pools. I got it and basically no one else did.
W/W - Jets +24.5 at Patriots: Jets +24.5. I switched this pick back once and back again when I got up early on Sunday morning to check the weather in Foxboro. If you don’t think I’ll do the same thing this week, you’re deluding yourself.
L/L - Cards +3.5 at Saints: Cards outright. I hate the Saints.
W/W - Jaguars +3.5 at Steelers: Jags outright. You know, the Jaguars have a legitimate shot to be in the AFC Championship game… and if they’re playing in really crappy weather they’re one of the few teams built to win a tough weather game.
W/L - Colts -10.5 at Raiders: Colts cover. Manning is human when he’s only got one target.
L/L - Eagles +10 at Cowboys: Cowboys cover. The Cowboys will never do right by me. Ever.
W/W - Lions +10.5 at Chargers: Chargers cover. No talk of the Chargers running up the score? Amazing.
L/L - Redskins +4 at Giants: Giants cover. After having been a Giant fan for as long as I have, I’m disappointed in myself for not having seen this loss coming.
Monday
W/L - Bears +9 at Vikings: Vikings cover. Not surprised really. 9’s a lot to ask of a spunky team.
Upset of the Week: Bills over Browns (L), Jags over Steelers (W), Cards over Saints (L).
Locks of the week: Chargers -10.5 over Lions (W), Vikings -9 over Bears (L), Cowboys -10 over Eagles (L).
