WEEK 14 STRAIGHT PICK-EM

LAST WEEK’S RECORD:11-4

OVERALL RECORD:133-59

THURSDAY RECORD:8-4

MONDAY/TUESDAY RECORD: 14-4

THE SUNDAY SLATE RECORD:111-51

THE THURSDAY GAME

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS AT LA RAMS

OUR PICK:RAMS

This game has revenge written all over it. Just because Tom Brady has fled the Patriot organization and the Rams got their revenge when they took his Buccaneers down weeks ago. The Rams will avenge their Superbowl loss from years ago. Bill Belichick and the Patriot uniform remain the same.

THE SUNDAY SLATE

HOUSTON TEXANS AT CHICAGO BEARS

OUR PICK:TEXANS

I’d rather do Christmas shopping, instead of watching that Chicago Bear hot garbage play. The Bears brass should watch Deshaun Watson closely as they could have and should have drafted him instead of Trubisky. Pink slips in all of their stockings for that one major dumb move.

DALLAS COWBOYS AT CINCINNATI BENGALS

OUR PICK:BENGALS

Andy Dalton playing his old team? Thought about that. These Cowboys have been flat for weeks. The Bengals have been playing tough even without Joe Burrows behind center. Bengals squeak one out this week, especially with Dallas coming in on a short week.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS AT MIAMI DOLPHINS

OUR PICK:CHIEFS

Miami is not ready yet to take down a high octane machine like Kansas City. Chiefs now with the Steeler loss last week, have that number seed in their grasp. The Chiefs will wrap around that like a baby securing his bottle.

ARIZONA CARDINALS AT NEW YORK GIANTS

OUR PICK:GIANTS

Giants defense have shown me they can play with many teams in this week. Cardinals have been struggling. I also think either Daniel Jones or back up Colt McCoy can rack up points on the Cardinals sorry defense.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS AT TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

OUR PICK:BUCCANEERS

I can’t see Tom Brady losing his third game in a row. Plus, Buccaneers losing after a bye week is tough to imagine. Buccaneers are very good versus the run. That leaves everything on Kirk Cousins to beat you. In big games he’s mostly a no show.

DENVER BRONCOS AT CAROLINA PANTHERS

OUR PICK:PANTHERS

Fresh legs the Panthers have coming out of a bye week at home. Both these teams are on the same playing level with the same records. Teddy Bridgewater has more experience and the weapons to win a close one at home.

TENNESSEE TITANS AT JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

OUR PICK:TITANS

If Titans lose to Mike Glennon and a bunch of Jags, they should be sent home and no playoffs this season. The Titans should be mad about what happened last week versus the Browns when they were down 38-7 at halftime. The comeback came up short. Titans should just steamroll the Jaguars.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS AT VEGAS RAIDERS

OUR PICK:COLTS

The Falcons destroyed the Raiders two weeks ago. The Raiders needed the last second of the game to win versus the hapless Jets. Colts will be able to score on a defense that does not get much pressure. This will give Phillip Rivers time. Colts defense should prevent a big day from Derek Carr and that Vegas offense.

NEW YORK JETS AT SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

OUR PICK:SEAHAWKS

This time Russell Wilson and the Seahawks will not be shocked by a team from New York. They will Escape the New York series and salvage this one versus the Jets.

GREEN BAY PACKERS AT DETROIT LIONS

OUR PICK:PACKERS

With Matt Patricia gone, it’s good times again in Detroit. Bears gave the Lions an early Christmas gift last week. The Packers are not giving like that. However the Packers will give the Lions a beat down.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS AT PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

OUR PICK: SAINTS

The Eagles are starting rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts versus the Saints defense.

Hurts will be the X-MAS turkey for this pack of Dogs on the Saints defense.

ATLANTA FALCONS AT LA CHARGERS

OUR PICK:FALCONS

This could be the greatest aerial attack of the season. Both Matt Ryan and Justin Herbert could be launching deep bombs high in skies in a match up that has shoot-out written all over it. I’m going with the Interim coach, Raheem Morris, over a guy in LA that needs a interim head coach.

THE WASHINGTON TEAM AT SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

OUR PICK:WASHINGTON TEAM

The 49ers playing home games in Arizona, with still some key players still out, gets exhausting. 49ers have played tough. Every game seems like the 49ers have to fight and claw their way in close battles. Nothing is ever easy. This game will be a defensive showdown. I like Alex Smith beating his former team in this one. Plus I’m on that Washington bandwagon that gave the Steelers their first loss of the season.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS AT BUFFALO BILLS

OUR PICK:BILLS

This match up is like the clash of the titans in the AFC and on prime time. Steelers finally lose their first game and the Bills are coming off their first Monday night win since 1999. The Steelers schedule has been very weak this season. I’m going with the eye test for this prediction. Bills have been playing much better than the Steelers in the last three games.

THE MONDAY NIGHT GAME

BALTIMORE RAVENS AT CLEVELAND BROWNS

OUR PICK:BROWNS

This should be a dog fight in the Dawg pond. Do Brown fans have cardboard cutouts of their pooches in the stands? Browns running game is the difference for a very tired Raven team that has been dealing with the Covid. They have had changes to their schedule every week dealing with the problem.
