NFL Picks

So glad i rushed to get last night's pick of the Patriots up so they could promptly not cover against the Giants who inexplicably decided to try...

44-32-6 on the year, including last night's game. This week is basically impossible to pick, due to the fact that half the league is resting their players. But hey, what kind of a prognosticator would i be if i didn't at least try?

Jacksonville +6.5 over Houston
Even with Quinn Gray at qb and probably no Fred Taylor at rb, i like the Jags here. They might be the hottest team in the league.

New Orleans -1 over Chicago
A chance at a little revenge from last year's NFC Championship game, plus the Saints still have something to play for, even though it's a long shot to make the playoffs for them.

Seattle -1.5 over Atlanta
Seattle has nothing to play for, which scares me, but i just can't see them losing to the Falcons. Though i don't think i've picked a Seahawks game correctly in about three years, so they'll probably drop a deuce at midfield in this game...

Dallas +9 over Washington
I know T.O. isn't playing, nor is Terrence Newman. And even though Washington is still playing for something and Dallas isn't, 9 points is a lot, especially since it's a division game.

San Diego -9 over Oakland
One thing we've learned this year is that Oakland's run defense isn't very good. Also, the Chargers want to win this game to get the #3 seed and avoid the Patriots until the AFC Championship game.

St. Louis +6 over Arizona
Arizona has something to play for, namely an 8-8 record and a non-losing season, which is hard to come by in these parts. Which is exactly why i think they actually will drop a deuce at midfield in this game, plus the Rams have people back healthy.
