Weekly Picks for December 20-23 (11-10-1)

Writer: Drew HoferDrew Hofer

National Football League

(Push) HOU-3 TB

Houston is a great team and they can take advantage of the Jameis picks.  I'll lay the points and take the Texans.

(L) BUF+6.5 NE

This will be a close game for the AFC East crown.  Buffalo is good, but this is New England at home which is tough.  I'm not sure who will win outright, but I'll take the points and the Bills

(L) LAR SF-6.5

Both teams need a bounce-back badly, but I think San Fran is better equipped to do so.  I'll take the Niners and lay the points.

(W) NO-2.5 TEN

New Orleans is the favourite here, and I can see why.  They are clearly the better team, but Tennessee will keep it close, but 2.5 is a line where I like the Saints.  I'll take 'em​

(L) JAX+7.5 ATL

This seems like a wide spread for this game.  Granted neither team has nothing to play for.  I expect the Falcons to win, but closer than 8.

(W) BAL-10 CLE

Baltimore will be playing for the 1 seed in the AFC this week, and earn it with a win, plus they want to avenge their Week 4 loss.  Ravens big.

(W) CAR IND-7

I'll lay the points in this one.  Carolina will be playing their third QB this season, although Indy is done, but I'll take them at home.

(L) CIN(EV) MIA

It's a pick 'em, and Cincy has been playing in a tougher division this year.  I'll take the Bengals in this one.

(L) PIT-3 NYJ

Pittsburgh needs the win to keep pace in the AFC, and they'll get it against the Jets, and by more than 3.

(W) NYG+2.5 WAS

I think this game should be a pick' em, and Washington is trash at home for some reason, so I'll take the Giants and the points.

(L) DET+7 DEN

Denver is giving seven here, and I think this game will be closer than that.  The Lions to cover, Broncs to win.

(W) OAK+7 LAC

The Chargers are better than Oakland, and neither team has anything to play for, but it feels like a 6 points game for me.  I can't believe I'm saying it, but I'll take Oakland and the points.

(L) ARI SEA-9.5

Arizona is bad, Seattle is good and trying to keep pace in the NFC, and playing at home.  I'll take the Seahawks in this one, even with that spread.

(W) DAL PHI+1.5

Who do I have less confidence in is the real question for this game, and for me that's Dallas this week.  I'll take Philly and the points at home over the 'Boys.

(W) KC-6 CHI

Kansas City is only giving six this week, I think that this could be a little bigger and I'd still take the Chiefs.  I'll lay the six.

(L) GB MIN-5.5

Green Bay has won close games this year, but they aren't as good as their records suggests.  I'm gonna pick Minnesota to win outright in this one.  Cousins breaks the 8 game losing streak on Monday Night.


National Collegiate Athletic Association Football

(W) Bahamas Bowl: Buffalo-6.5 Charlotte

I know nothing about these teams, so my shot in the dark is gonna be Buffalo, former Winnipeg Blue Bomber quarterback Drew Willy's alma mater.

(W) Frisco Bowl: Utah State Kent State+7

Again, I know nothing about these two, but have no ties.  I'll take the points.

(L) New Mexico Bowl: Central Michigan+3.5 San Diego State

Same thing here, but former Blue Bomber Kito Poblah is an alum of Central Michigan, plus their nickname is cool: Chippewas.

(W) Camellia Bowl: Florida International Arkansas State-3

I'll take Arkansas State, just because.

(L) New Orleans Bowl: 20Appalachain State-16.5 UAB

Big spread, I'll take the favourites in this one.

(W) Gasparilla Bowl: UCF-17.5 Marshall

Same thing as the last game, just too big a spread in my mind.
