THE CHRISTMAS DAY GAME

MINNESOTA VIKINGS AT NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

OUR PICK:SAINTS

Judgement day for the Vikings will be the loss to the Bears and the hole this team dug themselves earlier this season. How will they even contain the Saints offense with that performance against the Bears? Can’t see Saints suddenly becoming the Steelers and losing 3 in a row. Drew Brees knocked off the rust, so he should be better than last week.

THE SATURDAY GAMES

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS AT DETROIT LIONS

OUR PICK:BUCCANEERS

Tom Brady awakened just in time last week in the comeback versus the Falcons. I see the Buccaneers getting off to a fast start and not taking the peddle of the metal, as they make mince meat out of the Lions defense.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS AT ARIZONA CARDINALS

OUR PICK:CARDINALS

Who is C.J Beathard? C.J is the new man behind center, as the 49ers will be without Nick Mullens, who was injured last Sunday. Cardinals have a playoff spot they like to hold on to. Suddenly the Cardinals have won two in a row, and we know Arizona is the streakiest team in the league. They could be on fire during this Saturday meeting. Cardinals will Beat the 49ers harder than they did in their first meeting in week one.

MIAMI DOLPHINS AT VEGAS RAIDERS

OUR PICK:DOLPHINS

Raiders defense is horrible. Raiders may be without Derek Carr. Dolphins should be able to score in Vegas, on and off the field. Dolphins should be able to slow the roll of Marcus Mariota, or if Carr does suit up, make him uncomfortable with that attack style defense where he may think about his injury from a week ago.

THE SUNDAY SLATE

ATLANTA FALCONS AT KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

OUR PICK:CHIEFS

Looks like Dion Sanders still has the moves; picking off the guy’s pizza in the Subway commercial. Can he suit up again for the Falcons and cover one of the many weapons of the Chiefs? This game seems unfair. Falcons should be spotted 40 points to see if the Chiefs can come back down 40-0. Give the Chiefs at least a challenge.

CLEVELAND BROWNS AT NEW YORK JETS

OUR PICK:BROWNS

Jets winning two in a row… I don’t think anyone in their right minds would predict that. Browns feast on teams under 500 and I don’t see that trend changing.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS AT PITTSBURGH STEELERS

OUR PICK:STEELERS

Steelers and the Colts is a very difficult match up to predict. Two great defenses and two aging quarterbacks. Want to say who ever could run the ball wins this game. I give Steelers the edge being at home. Plus the Steelers losing 4 in a row?

CAROLINA PANTHERS AT THE WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM

OUR PICK:THE TEAM

Ron Rivera playing his old team he just coached for the first time. NFC East is on the line. The Washington defense is a defense that keeps getting better and will give the Panthers a younger team’s problems. Would be nice if the team with no name had Alex Smith returning. I think the team could still beat the Panthers with Dwayne Haskins behind center.

CHICAGO BEARS AT JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

OUR PICK:BEARS

Bears defense are starting to make big plays each game. Mitch Trubisky is reborn. The Jaguars have struggled with Gardner Minshew behind center. This is when the Bears play big, as this team is the ultimate tease.

Not talking about her. Very impressive. The Bears will win get the fans’ hopes up yet again for the final playoff spot with hopes of the post-season. Then Green Bay will squash the Bears fans’ dreams for good.

NEW YORK GIANTS AT BALTIMORE RAVENS

OUR PICK:RAVENS

Giants quarterback play is the biggest question for this team right now. Daniel Jones is hurting. Colt McCoy can only do so much. Ravens are rolling. Can they put up another 40 points for their third week in a row?

CINCINNATI BENGALS AT HOUSTON TEXANS

OUR PICK:TEXANS

Versus Dallas, Bengals turn into bumbles. Versus Pittsburgh, Bumbles turn into a pack of fierce Bengals. Not buying this Icky Shuffle in Cincinnati.

Deshaun Watson should be able to have a big game versus the Bengal weak secondary.

DENVER BRONCOS AT LA CHARGERS

OUR PICK:BRONCOS

This is a great young quarterback match up between Drew Lock and Justin Herbert. These two might be going against each other for years to come. I like Drew Lock making one more play over Justin Herbert this Sunday. Broncos defense is a better unit than the Chargers. Chargers coaching is a major weakness. Broncos win yet another close one when these two get together.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES AT DALLAS COWBOYS

OUR PICK:EAGLES

Both these teams I call the Frankenstein projects.

Both teams were dead in the water, but now suddenly have come back to life. I like the Eagles rookie, Jalen Hurts, in this one to show the Cowboys what they will be dealing with the next ten seasons. Hurt’s a play maker like Kyle Murray will exploit the Cowboy defense and bring this unit back from what they were, only weeks ago.

LA RAMS AT SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

OUR PICK:RAMS

I think when you lose to the Jets, you may see another animal the next Sunday which are the Rams. Thought about how hard it is to sweep teams in your division. Rams seem like they have the Seahawks’ number, as they took the first game weeks ago. Rams are that team who when they lose in a shocking way this season to an inferior team, they rise to the better competition the following week.

TENNESSEE TITANS AT GREEN BAY PACKERS

OUR PICK:TITANS

This game will be a Sunday night shoot out. I picture what Dalvin Cook did to this Packers defense. I can see Derrick Henry just gashing through a Packer defense that has some problems versus the run, with great backs especially.

THE MONDAY NIGHT GAME

BUFFALO BILLS AT NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

OUR PICK:BILLS

The Bills will finally get some satisfaction on sweeping the Patriots. The holes are dug for the Evil Empire. The storm troopers are in the hole. Time to put the dirt on top of the Evil Empire for good, or light the match.
