Tebow, Tebow, Tebow. Just trying to meet my quota (131-120-7 on the season)…
49ers (+4) over Saints: We are enamored with the Saints because we just saw them dust Detroit. But the Lions were allergic to tackling, San Fran isn’t. The Lions also dropped some sure interceptions, San Fran won’t. New Orleans is virtually unbeatable in their dome but outside of it, they’ve lost games to the Rams and Bucs. The 49ers are built for this and as long as they don’t turn the ball over, I like them to win outright.
Broncos (+13.5) over Patriots: I refuse to doubt Tebow anymore. And Denver was good enough to build an early lead last time these two played. If they are aggressive, they’ve got a shot. However, the Patriots have shown they could care less about playing from behind (49 straight against Buffalo a few weeks ago). I’ll take the Pats by ten.
Texans (+7.5) over Ravens: The only major advantage Baltimore has is at quarterback and Joe Flacco’s performance this year has been questionable at best.
Giants (+7.5) over Packers: Perhaps my judgment is clouded having just seen the Giants, while Green Bay is more out of sight, out of mind. But there was a time when the G-Men could not run the ball and were terrible on defense. That time has passed. I actually believe they are the more well rounded team. Will that be enough to topple Aaron Rodgers and Pack’s historically great passing attack? I’ll say yes for the heck of it.
