Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings at Arizona Cardinals: 2015 Week 14 NFL Pick
Minnesota Vikings (8-4) at Arizona Cardinals (10-2) Aside from the opening game of the season, when the New England Patriots hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers, this is the first non-divisional Thursday Night game of the season. I was disappointed a couple years ago when they decided to do primarily divisional games…

Continue reading →: Houston Texans at Buffalo Bills: 2015 Week 13 NFL Pick
Houston Texans (6-5) at Buffalo Bills (5-6) The Texans started the season 1-4, but have won 5 of their last 6 games. This is a legitimate team in a generally weak NFL this season, as they rank 7th in rate of moving the chains differential. Brian Hoyer isn’t the best…

Kansas City Chiefs (6-5) at Oakland Raiders (5-6) This line was 2.5 in favor of the Chiefs on the early line last week, but has since moved to a field goal. It might not seem like it, but, considering about 1 in 6 games are decided by a field goal…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans: 2015 Week 13 NFL Pick
Jacksonville Jaguars (4-7) at Tennessee Titans (2-9) About 1 in 6 games are decided by exactly a field goal, so the fact that this line is 2.5 in favor of the Titans at home, instead of 3, is very important, considering I think the Titans are the better of these…

Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys at Washington Redskins: 2015 Week 13 NFL Pick
Dallas Cowboys (3-8) at Washington Redskins (5-6) This line favored the Cowboys by 3 points last week in the early line, but now the Redskins are favored by 4. Obviously, Dallas’ loss of quarterback Tony Romo for the season was a big part of the line movement, and rightfully so,…

Carolina Panthers (11-0) at New Orleans Saints (4-7) The Panthers were favored by 3.5 on the early line for this one, but the line has since shifted to 7 in favor of the Panthers. Ordinarily I like to fade significant week-to-week line movements, but I think this line just caught…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals at St. Louis Rams: 2015 Week 13 NFL Pick
Arizona Cardinals (9-2) at St. Louis Rams (4-7) The Cardinals failed to cover last week in San Francisco, winning by just 6 points, as 10 point favorites, but I like their chances of covering this week as 5 point favorites in St. Louis for a few reasons. For one, they’re…

Continue reading →: Denver Broncos at San Diego Chargers: 2015 Week 13 NFL Pick
Denver Broncos (9-2) at San Diego Chargers (3-8) The Chargers’ 3-8 record is one of the worst in the NFL, but they have played better than their record. Their record is largely the result of a 3-5 record in games decided by a touchdown (3-6 in games decided by 8…

Continue reading →: Baltimore Ravens at Miami Dolphins: 2015 Week 13 NFL Pick
Baltimore Ravens (4-7) at Miami Dolphins (4-7) This has been the season from hell for the Ravens. After going 11-5, winning a playoff game, and finishing the season 3rd in rate of moving the chains differential a year ago, the Ravens lost outside linebacker Pernell McPhee, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, wide…

Continue reading →: New York Jets at New York Giants: 2015 Week 13 NFL Pick
New York Jets (6-5) at New York Giants (5-6) This is technically a home game for the Giants, but considering they’re playing the Jets, with whom they share a stadium, it’s tough to consider this a true home game. The Giants’ season ticket holders will be there and the Giants…
