NFL Week 15 is here. I went 11-5 last week …..and now I’m (136-74 overall straight-up)….. 2nd Week of SKA FF… #1 vs #5 and #6 vs #7 seeds playing for the right to play for all the marbles. I’m still in it, to defend my SKA FF title from 2013. No guts no glory!
The Saints and the 49ers games were the two most shocking games from this last weekend. What the hell happened in the bay and in the gulf, we may never know.
Oh yeah, this season has FLOWN by.. only a few weeks left!
The number of stars rank the best games, in my opinion, to sink your precious time into watching.
Thursday Night Football (DEC 11) EASTERN TIME Broadcast
Arizona at St. Louis 8:25PM NFL (**)
Point Spread : -5 RAMS
O/U : 39.5
I’m going to ride the HOT defense. The Rams are playing with a purpose and look like they are finally gelling on D. Who do you trust out of the back-up QBs?
Prediction: 23 – 19 Rams
Sunday Football (DEC 14)
Pittsburgh at Atlanta 1:00 PM CBS (*)
Point Spread : -3 STEELERS
O/U: 54.5
The status of Julio Jones will determine this game. If he is a full go, the Falcons will win the game. One of the top 3 WR in the game currently. Steelers need to feed Bell until the wheels fall off… and not play down to their competition.
Prediction: 30 – 27 Falcons
Washington at NY Giants 1:00 PM FOX
Point Spread : -6.5 GIANTS
O/U: 46.5
Tough NFCE match-up. Pretty much watch it for the Manning / OBJ show. Othwerwise, find something else to watch on the television.
Prediction: 34 – 20 Giants
Miami at New England 1:00 PM CBS
Point Spread : -8.0 PATRIOTS
O/U: 48.5
I like the Miami defense, but not on the road in Foxboro. The fish are going to get cold and not able to be as explosive as they need to be. Watch the Patriots Blount have a nice game against a stout D.
Prediction: 33 – 14 Patriots
Oakland at Kansas City 1:00 PM CBS
Point Spread : -10.5 CHIEFS
0/U: 41.5
The Raiders just won their SB for the year. Time for a big letdown vs a very motivated Chiefs team still steamed about the officiating from the week before. RB Charles is the best player on the field, time to show it to the tune of 4 TDs. FF owners will rejoice.
Prediction: 44 – 10 Chiefs
Houston at Indianapolis 1:00 PM CBS
Point Spread : -6.5 COLTS
0/U:49.0
I’m going with the home team, but this might not be a run away game. It may come down to the rushing attack of the Colts to win this game, let Luck rest his arm one game please. Colts 2nd year WR TY Hilton is not half bad either, give him a game winning TD.
Prediction: 27 – 20 Colts
Jacksonville at Baltimore 1:00 PM CBS
Point Spread : -14.5 RAVENS
O/U: 45.5
The Ravens are heavily favored. This should be a nice solid game from them in all three phases of the game. Now, what will the Jaguars show us in Baltimore is the real question?
Prediction: 34 – 7 Ravens
Green Bay at Buffalo 1:00 PM FOX
Point Spread : -5 PACKERS
O/U: 50.5
This feels like a tough game for both teams. The Packers are more talented, but were tested by the Falcons at home. The Bills have a few weapons, but if they get their ground assult going.. the Packers might get shocked with that pathetic defense.
Prediction: 24 – 21 Packers
Tampa Bay at Carolina 1:00 PM FOX
Point Spread : -5.5 PANTHERS
O/U: 45.0
QB Cam Newton is out for this game. Gatr and I have a bet riding on this game… who will produce more, rookie WR Benjamin or WR Evans, in this game. Both are future superstars, fun times in Panther land.
Prediction: 21 – 17 Bucs
Cincinnati at Cleveland 1:00 PM FOX (***)
Point Spread : -1 BENGALS
O/U: 44.0
You can’t trust the Bengals. They are so damn up and down from week to week. The Manziel show has officially arrived in the NFL, but can he connect with WR Josh Gordon on deep passes and TDs is the real question…. tough AFCN battle.
Prediction: 27 – 24 Bengals
NY Jets at Tennessee 4:05 PM CBS
Point Spread : -1.5 JETS
O/U: 42.0
I can’t figure out why the Jets are favored in this game. They are terrible. I guess it is due to Jake Locker playing, what happened to that guy anyhow? Let’s take a shot in the dark here.
Prediction: 19 – 16 Titans
Denver at San Diego 4:05 PM CBS
Point Spread : -4.0 BRONCOS
O/U: 50.5
Manning is coming off one of his worst games in a very long time. Is this a trend that will continue for 3 weeks in a row… perhaps a hidden injury? They will keep riding the RB group to victory right?
Prediction: 24 – 17 Broncos
Minnesota at Detroit 4:25 PM FOX
Point Spread : -8.0 LIONS
O/U: 43.0
The Lions defense is all that and a bag of chips. The Lions offense just needs to stay balanced. The Vikings have played spirited football, but are just out gunned in this one. Only way the Vikings win, if the Lions do the normal December implosion.
Prediction: 34 – 14 Lions
San Francisco at Seattle 4:25 PM FOX (****)
Point Spread : -10.5 SEAHAWKS
O/U: 38.5
The tire fire that is the 49ers has arrived in Seattle this week. I expect to see a very hard fought game.. one more for the team and coach kind of game. I expect this game to be closer than the spread, which I find ludicrous. It comes down to OC Roman and CK7… pull the 2013 playbook out if you want to win!
Prediction: 21 – 13 Seahawks
Sunday Night Football
Dallas at Philadelphia 8:30 PM NBC (*****)
Point Spread : -3.5 EAGLES
O/U: 55.0
This should be a highly entertaining game. This is for the NFCE crown. The loser may be out of the playoffs to boot. So should we trust the Cowboys and Tony Romo? Defense wins Championships and the Eagles have one that is peaking. The Eagles O should shred some Cowboys D… yikes.
Prediction: 33 – 30 Eagles
Monday Night Football (DEC 15)
New Orleans at Chicago 8:30 PM ESPN (*)
Point Spread : -2.5 BEARS
O/U: 53.5
Ok, I’ll just go off the reservation and say the Saints will win. Why?.. who the hell knows. They should want to make a strong showing verses a severly depleted Bears team.. otherwise people will be fired from their jobs in New Orleans. TE Charmin Soft Graham better get his ass going in this game as well.
Prediction: 33 – 24 Saints
Peace out SKAsians.
