Regular Season Week 15



Week 15 is my birthday week!!!! This year my birthday just so happens to fall on Friday the 13th! In other news, I got a promotion at work which comes with a schedule change so I now have weekends off! More football watching, just in time for playoffs! Playoffs?! Playoffs?! Playoffs?!?! Let’s get through the regular season first.

I went 10-6 on my picks last week and am 132-76 overall.


Here is the recap for week fourteen.


Cowboys @ Bears 24-31The Bears made Cowboy fans and Jerry Jones weep. It was pretty amazing. Even though I didn’t get this pick correct I was glad to see the Cowboys lose. The first quarter didn’t start so well for the Bears and it looked like the Cowboys were going to thrash Chicago. But then Mitchell Trubisky threw three touchdown passes and ran for one during the next three quarters. Game over.

Panthers @ Falcons 20-40The Panthers problems are only getting bigger after firing head coach Ron Riviara. The Falcons had their way with the kitty cats as Atlanta trampled all over Carolina.


Ravens @ Bills 24-17Even though the Bills lost this game they were able to contain the Ravens more than other teams. Lamar Jackson still had three touchdown passes for the Ravens because he’s pretty much unstoppable.


Bengals @ Browns 19-27The Bengals are looking better, by their standards, with Andy Dalton back but the Browns are just a better team, and that’s not saying much.


Redskins @ Packers 15-20Aaron Rodgers was supposed to have an explosive game against the Redskins. Instead, it was a run heavy game where the Packers only squeaked out a win by less than a touchdown. I was disappointed.


Lions @ Vikings 7-20It was the Vikings defense that was the star of this game. Minnesota had 5 sacks on the Lions which made it easier for Cousins to drive down the field and get some points on the board.


49ers @ Saints 48-4694 points were scored between these two teams. That’s just crazy. It was back and forth all game and just when I thought the Saints had won it, George Kittle dragged three defenders down the field to put the 49ers into field goal range. The field goal was good and the 49ers came out with a win.


Dolphins @ Jets 21-22This game also came down to a field goal and the Jets came out on top in this too close for comfort win against the Dolphins.


Colts @ Buccaneers 35-38Jameis Winston threw for a butt ton of yards (456) and had 4 touchdowns in this win over the Colts. The Colts came very close but petered out and had no points in the fourth quarter.


Broncos @ Texans 38-24If you’d ask me who the starting quarterback for the Broncos was I wouldn’t be able to tell you. His name is Drew Lock and he led the Broncos to their 5th win of the season with three touchdowns over the struggling Texans.


Chargers @ Jaguars 45-10I think that when the Chargers head coach put in Tyrod Taylor at the end of the game last week instead of the Philip Rivers he made a serious point, you’re replaceable. Rivers showed his coach and the rest of the team that he’s still got it and had the best game of the season. The Chargers routed the Jags. I mean, just look at that final score.


Titans @ Raiders 42-21Ryan Tannehill is on fire with the Titans. They have won four straight now with this big win over the Raiders.

Chiefs @ Patriots 23-16This game was very exciting to watch, especially if you aren’t a big fan of the Pats. The Patriots haven’t lost a home game in years and the Chiefs changed that. The Patriots probably should have won this game but there was an obvious blown call where they called the Pats runner out of bounds on his way to scoring, and he wasn’t. Because Bill Belichek had already used one red flag challenge, and got it wrong, he had no more challenges and the play was not reviewed. In other news, the Patriots were caught, again, videoing play calls from the Bengals, which are their opponent in next week’s match up.


Steelers @ Cardinals 23-17The Steelers won this game by shutting down the Cardinals offense and scoring two more field goals than Arizona.


Seahawks @ Rams 12-28The Seahawks forgot to show up for this game. It was tough to watch. I guess the Rams have figured out how to win again.


NY Giants @ Eagles 17-23 OTEli Manning got the start and was truly amazing in the first half. He had two passing touchdowns and zero interceptions. Unfortunately, the defense didn’t help him out in the second half and for some reason Shumer stopped calling Saquon Barkley running plays. It was so frustrating to watch. The game did go into overtime but the Giants defense was non existent. tear



WEEK 14

Thursday, December 12th



Jets (5-8) @ Ravens (11-2) [8:20pm FOX, NFLN]I’m pretty sure the Ravens are going to win this game.


Sunday, December 15th

Patriots (10-3) @ Bengals (1-12) [1pm CBS]The Patriots will win this game but will there be any implications for the cheaters?

Buccaneers (6-7) @ Lions (3-9-1) [1pm FOX]I think that the Bucs are going to win this game. That’s who I am picking, sorry Dean.


Bears (7-6) @ Packers (10-3) [1pm FOX]I’m picking the Packers to win this game only because they are playing at home. It would not surprise me at all if they let the Bears win though.


Texans (8-5) @ Titans (8-5) [1pm CBS]I’m picking the Titans to win this game. It will be a fun division rival game for sure.


Dolphins (3-10) @ NY Giants (2-11) [1pm CBS] Eli is going to start this game too! I’m picking the Giants for the win for the last time this season. Please, don’t let me down boys. GO GMEN!!!!


Broncos (5-8) @ Chiefs (9-4) [1pm CBS]I’m picking the Chiefs to win this game. Pat Mahomes has a bruised hand but I don’t think that is going to slow him down too much.


Eagles (6-7) @ Redskins (3-10) [1pm FOX]I would love to see the Redskins win this game. I am rooting for them but picking the Eagles for the win.

Seahawks (10-3) @ Panthers (5-8) [1pm FOX]I’m picking the Seahawks to win this game. Both teams are coming off humiliating losses but I think that Seattle still has the upper hand.


Jaguars (4-9) @ Raiders (6-7) [4:05pm CBS]I’m picking the Raiders for the win. I think the Jags are done for the season.


Browns (6-7) @ Cardinals (3-9-1) [4:05pm CBS]I’m picking the Browns to win this game but it would not surprise me at all if the Cardinals finally got another win.


Vikings (9-4) @ Chargers (5-8) [4:05pm CBS]I’m picking the Vikings to win this game, I don’t think that the Chargers can have to wins in a row.


Rams (8-5) @ Cowboys (6-7) [4:25pm FOX] I’m picking the Cowboys to win this game but I’m rooting for and hoping the Rams win.


Falcons (4-9) @ 49ers (11-2) [4:25pm CBS]I’m picking the 49ers to win this game.


Bills (9-4) @ Steelers (8-5) [8:20pm NBC]I’m picking the Bills to win this game. I usually never pick against the Steelers and usually never pick the Bills to win so we’ll see how this goes for me.


Monday, December 16th
Colts (6-7) @ Saints (10-3) [8:15pm ESPN]I’m picking the Saints to win this game.

GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
