Continue reading →: San Diego Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs: 2013 Week 12 NFL Pick
San Diego Chargers (4-6) at Kansas City Chiefs (9-1) I’ve maintained all along that the Chiefs are not as good as their record. Going into last week’s game, they had the NFL’s easiest schedule according to DVOA, which doesn’t even take into account all of the backup quarterbacks they faced.…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Detroit Lions: 2013 Week 12 NFL Pick
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-8) at Detroit Lions (6-4) The Buccaneers may just be 2-8, but they are better than their record. Before the season, I said they had 7 of the top-200 players in the NFL (Vincent Jackson, Carl Nicks, Dashon Goldson, Darrelle Revis, Gerald McCoy, Doug Martin, and Lavonte…

New York Jets (5-5) at Baltimore Ravens (4-6) So far, the Jets have alternated wins and losses over the first 10 games, the first team in NFL history to do so. Can they extend that into 11 games and win here in Baltimore? Well, I think the fact that they’ve…

New Orleans Saints (8-2) at Atlanta Falcons (2-8) This line was at 6.5 last week. Now it’s at 9 and the public is still all over the Saints. The Saints are awesome and the Falcons suck. How can the Saints not win by double digits right? Well, that seems to…

Denver Broncos (9-1) at New England Patriots (7-3) Brady/Manning 14. That has to be some kind of record for non-divisional quarterbacks (I actually don’t know this. If someone does, let me know). This is the greatest quarterback battle in NFL history. What guys like Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck…

Continue reading →: 2013 Week 12 Fantasy Football Pickups
RB Bobby Rainey (Tampa Bay) Percent owned (ESPN): 2.3% It looked like fullback type Brian Leonard would be the new starter in Tampa Bay with Doug Martin and Mike James hurt, as Leonard had 20 carries the week before against Miami. However, the Buccaneers decided to unleash Bobby Rainey instead…

Continue reading →: Baltimore Ravens at Chicago Bears: 2013 Week 11 NFL Pick
Baltimore Ravens (4-5) at Chicago Bears (5-4) This is one I could go either way on. Both teams are in good spots and distraction free. The Ravens host the Jets next week and will be favored, while the Bears go to St. Louis and will be favored. Non-divisional home favorites…

Detroit Lions (6-3) at Pittsburgh Steelers (3-6) The Steelers are 3-6, but they are better than their record. They are moving the chains at a 74% rate, as opposed to 74% for their opponents, which is a differential that ranks 17th in the NFL. They’ve just been killed by turnovers…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals at Jacksonville Jaguars: 2013 Week 11 NFL Pick
Arizona Cardinals (5-4) at Jacksonville Jaguars (1-8) I maintained all along that the Jaguars were going to win a game at some point. It’s very, very hard to go 0 for a season. Winless teams are 24-5 ATS in week 9 or later since 1989 so I’m not surprised at…
