NFL 2013 Week 13 Predictions

Lions -6 over Packers, 31-20

-SO excited this is under 7. Megatron is going to put up NUMBERS here.

Cowboys -9 over Raiders, 30-13

-Raiders are not very good, and the Cowboys are finally on the right track here.

Chiefs +6.5 over Broncos, 27-26

-Taking the points. I think the Chiefs have learned from some hurdles the last two weeks, while the Broncos just are falling back to normality.

Colts -4 over Titans, 24-16

-This will be the last week I keep the faith in Luck. I won’t go against him the rest of the year if this goes badly, but I won’t be on the train either.

Bucs +9.5 over Panthers, 20-24

-Purely a cover situation, both teams are now actually playing decently.

Cardinals +3.5 over Eagles, 21-20

-Carson Palmer is like an untrustworthy exGF. It is a bad idea to trust them again, you wince, you try not to, and somehow you decide to do it again. Carson…this is your last chance. Don’t betray my trust.

Dolphins +1.5 over Jets, 24-12

-I trust Tannehill. I don’t trust Geno. I trust Rex not to smartly play Simms over Geno. Questions?

49ers -7.5 over Rams, 24-6

-I don’t like the Niners. But I REALLY don’t like the Cunningham/Klemens-led Rams here.

-Best Eliminator Pick

Pats -8 over Texans, 38-17

-I am SO excited. Can someone say “tease with the Lions/Packers game”?

-Strategic Eliminator Pick

Bengals +2.5 over Chargers, 31-23

-Bengals should light up that horrid defense, right?

Giants -1 over Ethnic Slurs, 24-16

-Oh, YEAH!

Saints +6.5 over Seahawks, 30-31

-Just cover. And the Seahawks have kept losing cornerbacks like crazy. Don’t be surprised if the Saints just pull this out. Still, I wouldn’t go out on a limb against the Seahawks at home.

NFL 2013 Week 12 Predictions

Panthers -4.5 over Dolphins, 26-14

-A lot of letdown potential, but they should handle the Dolphins.

Jags +10.5 over Texans, 14-17

-The Texans don’t get 10 points over anyone right now.

Vikings +4.5 over Packers, 20-21

-Tolzien makes terrified.

Ravens -3.5 over Jets, 20-11

-Ravens are a better team, the Jets are mostly smoke and mirrors.

-Strategic Eliminator Pick

Chargers +4.5 over Chiefs, 23-24

-Just because they play teams close every single time.

Lions -9.5 over Bucs, 31-21

-MEGATRON.

Colts +3.5 over Cards, 20-19

-Andrew Luck for the rest of his career, when given points, is going to be an automatic play for me. It just became a rule.

Giants PK over Cowboys, 37-34

-Oh boy.

Patriots +2.5 over Broncos, 31-30

-Broncos are probably the safter bet, but I’m going with a combination of “Brady is 9-4 versus Manning, the Pats don’t lose at home, the Pats don’t lose two in a row, the Pats are insulted to be home dogs” kicking in for this game.

49ers -4.5 over Ethnic Slurs, 20-13

-Damn, I can’t pick against the 49ers this week because they play the other team I think the public overvalues. Kaep might actually have a good passing day here. This might be painful to watch.

-Best Eliminator Pick

NFL 2013 Week 11 Predictions

Eagles -4 over Ethnic Slurs, 27-21

-Foles and Desean Jackson are awesome plays here in weekly leagues.

Cards -9.5 over Jags, 24-13

-Is it safe to guarantee a defensive touchdown? Well, I’m doing it anyways.

Bengals -6 over Browns, 20-10

-Bengals are limping but still a decent team. I think.

Lions -1 over Steelers, 35-14

Hasn’t happened since 1955, but it is happening this year. Lions win in the Steel City. Megatron goes OFF.

-Strategic Eliminator Pick.

Chargers -1 over Dolphins, 27-20

-Chargers are the better team. Also, they haven’t recently lost two linemen to bullying issues.

Giants -4.5 over Packers, 24-14

-Weird. But I guess this is where I am going?

Seahawks -12 over Vikings, 30-9

-Struggling to see any scenario where the Vikings can win. Or come close. Or should even show up.

-Best Eliminator Pick.

Saints -3.5 over 49ers, 31-16

-Saints aren’t losing this game at home. And 49ers aren’t that great. And Brees has a monstrous day.

Chiefs +9.5 over Broncos, 27-24

-Chiefs are ready to go, they have all these exciting plays ready to go that they’ve been hoarding, and they are going to throw everything in the world at Peyton’s knees/ankles.

Patriots +1.5 over Panthers, 24-16

-Pats will struggle to get 24, but that 24 will be more than the Panthers can muster. Plus the Panthers get the “week after someone plays the Seahawks or Niners they are too beat up to compete physically” after effect.

Record last week:

Straight Up: 5-4
By Spread: 6-3

Straight Up: 69-40

NFL 2013 Week 10 Predictions

Steelers -3 over Bills, 24-20

-Ends Buffalo’s season, pretty much.

Bengals -1 over Ravens, 24-20

-I think we know who both teams are, even without Geno Adkins.

Lions pk over Bears, 31-23

-Bears are actually a good team, but the Lions are losing this being both healthier and coming off a bye. Megatron will have a huge game as usual. And I’m not sure Cutler coming back is a good thing.

Titans -12.5 over Jags, 27-12

-Yeah, this could be bad.

-Best Eliminator Pick

Seahawks -5 over Falcons, 30-23

-I think the Seahawks get the offense on track here, and the Falcons complete the “completely and irrevocably fall apart” they started versus the Panthers.

Colts -9.5 over Rams, 27-14

-TY Hilton. I wouldn’t heavily bet on this cover, but it is probably an easy win straight up.

-Strategic Eliminator Pick

Panthers +6.5 over 49ers, 26-31

-Just cover please.

Chargers and Broncos….OVER

Cards -1 over Texans,

-Texans season is over, they know it, and the Case Keenum dream run must end. It probably does so against the NFL’s best defense. You heard me, the NFL’s best defense. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/dvoa-ratings/2013/week-9-dvoa-ratings

Saints -7 over Cowboys, 41-29

-The Saints lost last week. They play in a dome this week. They score a LOT of points. Questions?

Don’t touch Miami-Tampa with a ten foot pole.
