NFL Draft Jets Football

I will jinx myself and say I’ve had a successful year (8-8 last week; 123-114-2 on the season)…

Vikings (-8.5) over Giants: I don’t want to pick with either of these teams right now. But the Vikings have something to play for, the Giants don’t.

Buffalo (-7.5) over Indianapolis: After their performance against Atlanta, I am confident taking the Colts backups to beat the Bills.

Carolina (-7) over New Orleans: One team is playing well, the other isn’t (and probably won’t be playing their good players).

Cleveland (-1.5) over Jacksonville: The Browns have won three in a row. Before that they lost by a combined 16 points to San Diego and Cincinnati. Could they actually like Mangini?

Detroit (+3) over Chicago: Jay Cutler was good on Monday night. I predict a pick-fest in this one.

New England (+7.5) over Houston: I don’t care what the circumstances are, I am not taking the Texans to beat the Patriots by more than a touchdown.

Pittsburgh (-3.5) over Miami: I’ll take Big Ben in a must-win.

St. Louis (+7.5) over San Francisco: I don’t know why I’m taking the Rams. I hate the NFC West.

Atlanta (-2.5) over Tampa: The Falcons are better than the Bucs. That is all.

Philadelphia (+3) over Dallas: I’ll trust Donovan McNabb and Andy Reid.

Packers (+3.5) over Arizona: Something about that half a point speaks to me.

Kansas City (+13) over Denver: The Broncos will win, just not by that much.

Oakland (+10.5) over Baltimore: See above. This will probably be wrong.

San Diego (-3) over Washington: I promise I will not pick the Redskins again this season.

Tennessee (-4.5) over Seattle: I’m not taking Matt Hasselbeck and Justin Forsett over Vince Young and Chris Johnson.

Cincinnati (+10) over New York Jets: Way too many points to give the Bengals, even if the reserves play. The Jets offense is not good enough to beat anybody by that much.
