NFL Week 14 Picks

Graphic creds to Bradley W. Stewart

Hello, all. Due to Penn State's Big 10 title win, I was not able to post an NFL Preview article last week. However, we all got are picks in, and they all count. Week 14 is here. Let's get into it. Also, I will talk about the Steelers-Bills game in a seperate preview.

Close, but no cigar
Broncos (8-4) at Titans (6-6) 

Tennesse has been one of the surprises of this season, as they are in a three-way tie with Houston and Indianapolis for first in the AFC South (for whatever that is worth). I expect the Titans to give Denver all they can handle. However, Denver's defense will make a big play late to preserve a win, and that's the bottom line because Smeltzer said so.
Denver 17, Tennesse 13

The Eagles are a joke, but... Redskins (6-5-1) at Eagles (5-7)

Philly has fallen off a cliff, which is why I expect them to win this game. They are at home, playing against a mediocre and one-dimensional Redskins team. If Fletcher Cox and the Eagles defensive line can get pressure on Kirk Cousins and force some bad passes, Philly will win the football game. If Washington doesn't score a lot, they won't win. That's what the difference will be. 

Eagles 28, Redskins 21

Fins to the left, fins to the right Cardinals (5-6-1) at Dolphins (7-5)

Here we have one of the league's most surprising teams going against perhaps its most disappointing. Miami took a step back in Baltimore last week, but I still trust Ryan Tannehill, DeVante Parker, and the Dolphins offense to get back on track. Miami is very much alive in the AFC Playoff race, and they will play like it on Sunday. However, Arizona will come to play, and they will be just a little better. I just gots a feeling
Cardinals 32, Dolphins 29


"Who the hell cares" part I
Chargers (5-7) at Panthers (4-8) 

Carolina is garbage in every sense of the word. But they are at home against a bad Chargers team, so I guess Cammy Cam can feel good about himself for a few hours.
Panthers 33, Chargers 24

It's Gonna Happen Bengals (4-7-1) at Browns (0-12)

This game is the Browns best chance to get a win, and I just can't see them going 0-16. Can't do it. Go crazy, lands of Cleves.
Browns 24, Bengals 20

Look at the records Bears (3-9) at Lions (8-4) 
Look at the records and tell me who should win this one.
Lions 38, Bears 23

Somehow an important game Texans (6-6) at Colts (6-6) 

There is a good chance that whoever wins this game ends up taking the AFC South crown (again, no saying very much). I think that Indy is starting to figure things out. Andrew Luck is healthy again and playing good football, while Brock Osweiler might well be the worst QB in the game. Luck will pick apart the Texans secondary, and Indy will avenge that woeful Sunday Night loss at Houston in Week 6.
Colts 31, Texans 17

"Who the hell cares?" Part II Vikings (6-6) at Jags (2-10)
Jacksonville is awful. Minnesota has lost six of seven. But other than that, great matchup we have here.

4:05
"Who the hell cares?" Part III
Jets (3-9) at 49ers (1-11)
I want Colin Kaepernick to lose every game he starts, and I  believe Bryce Petty will keep that dream alive. A San Fran victory may frustrate the fanbase, because with the Browns being as bad as they are, a 9er victory would all but destroy their chances of getting the #1 draft pick. So, I say, root for the 49ers to lose along with me.

49ers Something, Jets Something less

4:25
Passing of the torch
Saints (5-7) at Bucs (7-5)

Brees vs. Winston. The established vs. The up-and-comer. On Sunday, I'm taking the young bull. Jameis Winston is the real deal, and he will have a field day with the putrid Saints defense. Drew Brees will play well like he always does, but his team just does not do him justice. Tampa, meanwhile, is on the rise, and they will inch one step closer to an NFC South title.
Bucs 35, Saints 27

Fire Jeff Fisher Falcons (7-5) at Rams (4-8)
Fire. Jeff. Fisher.
Falcons 28, Rams 13

A-Rod is back Seahawks (8-3-1) at Packers (6-6)

Aaron Rodgers is finding his groove, and the Packers are playing in the tundra. That's a dangerous combination for the Earl Thomes-less Seahawks. Seattle may be the best team in the NFC, but it's hard to win at Lambeau Field, and Green Bay will remind us all of that fact on Sunday. However, Seattle is going to prove to be too tough for the putrid Packers defense to handle. Russell Wilson will come to play, and the Seahawks will grind it out for a big victory.
Seahawks 27, Packers 24

8:30
Turn out the lights
Cowboys (11-1) at Giants (6-4) 
The Giants were exposed last Sunday against my Steelers, and the Cowboys cannot lose. That's a dangerous thing. But all good streaks must come to an end, and I feel that the Giants will come to play in their home stadium. Dallas will be fine, but on Sunday night, the fun is over.

Giants 24, Cowboys 21

Will the Patriots lose?
The Dirty Birds are going down. Let's go, Brady!
