Charlie the Unicorn Week 12 Picks

    150 150 Charlie the Unicorn

    NFL Week 12 is here. I went 7-7 last week …..and now I’m (105-58 overall straight-up)….. this was a miserable week in FF as well. Why did Colts RB Bradshaw have to get injured?!!?!?

    The most shocking result was the Rams giving the Broncos a beatdown. The second most shocking result was the Saints laying a HUGE egg at home.

    The number of stars rank the best games, in my opinion, to sink your precious time into watching.

    BYE WEEK: Panthers and Steelers

    Thursday Night Football (Nov 20) EASTERN TIME Broadcast

    Kansas City at Oakland 8:25PM NFL

    Point Spread : -7.5 CHIEFS
    O/U : 42.5

    This game smells like a stinker. AFCW showdown. The Chiefs need to ride the RB Charles until his wheels fall off and have at least a share of the AFCW div lead at the end of the day.

    Prediction: 34 – 24 Chiefs

    Sunday Football (NOV 23)

    Cleveland at Atlanta 1:00 PM CBS (*)

    Point Spread : -3 FALCONS
    O/U: 47.0

    The Browns took 2 hits at LB this last week, both have unknown status for the game. Good news, the WR Gordon is back to slice and dice the Falcons secondary. Oh yeah, RB Tate got the boot from the team. This is a tough game to call, but I’m going with the NFCS leading home team.

    Prediction: 21 – 20 Falcons

    Tennessee at Philadelphia 1:00 PM CBS

    Point Spread : -11 EAGLES
    O/U: 48.5

    Get out to a fast start, allow the defense to pile on with sacks and turnovers. Pound the ball on the ground and through the air…. it is a bird, it is a plane… it is The SANCHIZE!

    Prediction: 33 – 24 Eagles

    Detroit at New England 1:00 PM FOX (**)

    Point Spread :-7 PATRIOTS
    O/U: 48.5

    I love the Lions to win the game, but I’m very concerned about their defensive secondary vs the most dominant TE of the last few seasons, TE Gronkowski. If the the Patriots can rush the ball effectively vs the Lions vaunted D, they will win.

    Prediction: 27 – 17 Patriots

    Green Bay at Minnesota 1:00 PM FOX

    Point Spread : -9 PACKERS
    0/U: 48.5

    This will be a hard faught game…. I do not see it being a blow out. The Vikings have plenty of fight in them. The Packers have been jumping out to huge leads early in games? Will they drop another 50 burger?

    Prediction: 31 – 24 Packers

    Jacksonville at Indianapolis 1:00 PM CBS

    Point Spread : -13.5 COLTS
    0/U: 50.5

    The Colts lost demoralizing game last week. They lost their most dynamic RB Bradshaw due to injury (and IR). I’m confident in Luck, but can we trust RB Richardson to carry the load?

    Prediction: 27 – 10 Colts

    Cincinnati at Houston 1:00 PM CBS

    Point Spread : -1.5 TEXANS
    0/U: 43.5

    The Bengals/Bungals put a wooping on the Saints on the road. Now they are on the second of back to back road games. The Texans have spark and spunk. JJ Watt is leading the team to victory and has a very realistic shot of DPOY/MVP consideration.

    Prediction: 24 – 20 Texans (JJ Watt TD)

    NY Jets at Buffalo 1:00 PM CBS (Game could be delayed due to 6 feet of snow)

    Point Spread : -4.5 BILLS
    O/U: 39.5

    The Jets have a little life, too late to effect this season, but to early to get the #1 draft pick in 2015. It comes down to WR Watkins.. again. If he is healthy, they will win… if not…

    Prediction: 9 – 6 Bills

    Tampa Bay at Chicago 1:00 PM FOX

    Point Spread : -5 BEARS
    O/U: 46.5

    The Bucs have been paying better as of late, but they fooled me a few times this season already. The Bears need to get behind Smokin Jay Cutler and play the type of offensive football they are capable of… defense is going to be shredded by OROY candidate WR Evans….

    Prediction: 21 – 17 Bears

    Arizona at Seattle 4:05 PM FOX (****)

    Point Spread : -6.5 SEAHAWKS
    O/U: 42.5

    This point spread seems way to large to me. I’m surprised the 9-1 team is not favored in the game. It will be a game that comes down to the last 4 minutes of the game.. most likely a FG to win or lose… but who will kick it to win it?

    Prediction: 20 – 17 Seahawks

    St. Louis at San Diego 4:05 PM FOX (**)

    Point Spread : -4.5 CHARGERS
    O/U: 43.5

    I love what the Rams D is doing right now. They blew up the Broncos… why not ride the hot defensive hand and wack the Chargers? It could happen, honest….

    Prediction: 24 – 17 Rams

    Miami at Denver 4:25 PM CBS (***)

    Point Spread : -7.5 BRONCOS
    O/U:49.0

    I’ll just pick the upset, the Dolphin front 7 will give the Broncos fits. If WR Sanders is out of the game, along with TE Thomas, then it will be very difficult to get a win for the Broncos. They have to pound it with CJ Anderson, who is not entirely proven. Snow is also predicted!

    Prediction: 27 – 24 Frozen Fish

    Washington at San Francisco 4:25 PM FOX

    Point Spread : -9 49ERS
    O/U: 44.5

    This game appears to be so one sided, it is not funny. Only way the Redskins win the game is if the 49ers show up in SF and not SC….. thus they prob will lose… I’ll go with the safe bet.

    Prediction: 33 – 17 49ers

    Sunday Night Football

    Dallas at NY Giants 8:30 PM NBC

    Point Spread : -3 COWBOYS
    O/U:47.5

    This looks like a giganto mismatch, but it is the NFCE. The Cowboys need to stick to the ground and pound formula that got them here. The Giants are terribad at rushing defense. I think WR Beckham will continue to make a push for OROY… but in a losing effort.

    Prediction: 28 – 24 Cowboys

    Monday Night Football (Nov 24)

    Baltimore at New Orleans 8:30 PM ESPN (**)

    Point Spread : -3 SAINTS
    O/U: 50.0

    This games outcome changed as soon as I found out WR Cooks went on the IR this morning. The Ravens play a tough style of offense and defense, something the Saints are not very good against. I can’t trust the home team to win anywhere right now….

    Prediction: 31 – 27 Ravens

    Peace out SKAsians.
