Kansas City Chiefs (11-4) at San Diego Chargers (8-7) I’m going to keep this one short. If you bet any money on this game, you’re a degenerate gambler. Seek help. Kansas City has already locked up the 5 seed in the AFC. Andy Reid, like he did several times in…

Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots: 2013 Week 17 NFL Pick
Buffalo Bills (6-9) at New England Patriots (11-4) I’m torn on this. On one hand, New England hasn’t been doing a lot of winning pretty this season. Of their 11 wins, only 4 have come by more than a touchdown and one of those, a 27-17 win over Miami, was…

Continue reading →: Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings: 2013 Week 17 NFL Pick
Detroit Lions (7-8) at Minnesota Vikings (4-10-1) The Lions are such a frustrating team. They have the talent to be 11-4 right now, but they’re 7-8. The things that are plaguing them, close losses (3-5 record in games decided by a touchdown or less), turnovers (-14), and recovering fumbles (40.00%)…

Houston Texans (2-13) at Tennessee Titans (6-9) Firing Gary Kubiak and replacing him with Wade Phillips didn’t seem to fix anything. They’ve lost their last two games by margins of 22 and 24 points, despite losing 8 of their previous 11 games by a touchdown or less. Sure they were…

Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers: 2013 Week 17 NFL Pick
Cleveland Browns (4-11) at Pittsburgh Steelers (7-8) The situational trends say Cleveland is the right side here. For one, Cleveland is in their 2nd straight road game. Historically, teams lose by an average of 3.07 points per game on the road after a home game and 2.07 points per game…

Continue reading →: Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons: 2013 Week 17 NFL Pick
Carolina Panthers (11-4) at Atlanta Falcons (4-11) This is an important game to the Panthers for seeding purposes. If they win and Seattle were to lose, they would become the #1 seed and have home field advantage all the way to the Super Bowl. However, if they were to lose…

Likely to be fired Mike Munchak (Tennessee) Mike Munchak’s name has been on the hot seat for a while in Tennessee, with many believing he’d be fired last off-season. He was kept around, predictably as he had only finished his 2nd season with the team, but this time around he…

Continue reading →: Washington Redskins at New York Giants: 2013 Week 17 NFL Pick
Washington Redskins (3-10) at New York Giants (6-9) The Giants went into Detroit and beat the Lions last week, while the Redskins lost at home to the Cowboys. Surely the Giants will win at home here against the Redskins and cover this small spread right? Well, that seems to be…

Continue reading →: San Francisco 49ers at Arizona Cardinals: 2013 Week 17 NFL Pick
San Francisco 49ers (11-4) at Arizona Cardinals (10-5) The Cardinals proved themselves last week to be a very good football team, going into Seattle, where no one has won in two years, and winning despite losing the turnover battle by 2. Teams rarely are able to overcome a -2 turnover…

Continue reading →: New York Jets at Miami Dolphins: 2013 Week 17 NFL Pick
New York Jets (7-8) at Miami Dolphins (8-7) One powerful trend is that teams who lose as divisional home favorites are 48-23 ATS since 2002 as road dogs in the same season, regular season rematch. It makes sense. Matchups where the team who is favored is dependent on the location…
