2009 NFL Weekly Picks - Week 12

Thursday 26 Nov

GB @ DET

Eddie

Packers

Fred

Packers

Lucky for Green Bay they get to play Detroit.  Both Stafford and Megatron (Calvin Johnson) are said to play but I don’t think it’ll be enough.

The Lions almost lost to the Browns, and AT HOME, last week.  I’m never picking them again.

OAK @ DAL

Cowboys

Fred

Cowboys

Dallas needs a jumpstart and the Raiders are the “cable”.

Cowboys offense is due for a bounce-back game.

NYG @ DEN   

Eddie

Broncos

Fred

Broncos

 I really think the Broncos are going to win this one but I just can’t seem to gauge the g-men. 

 Denver at home is always a tough matchup for the opponent, and with Orton back, they should win this one.

TB @ ATL  

Eddie

Falcons

Fred

 Falcons

The Bucs are definitely an improved team over the last several weeks but this is a must have for the Falcons.

 Looks like Turner is a go, so at home, the Falcons should easily win this one.

MIA @ BUF     

Eddie

Dolphins

Fred

 Dolphins

Even though Miami is missing some key personnel I think they have enough to take care of business in NY.      

 New head coach for Buffalo so no way I’m picking them.

 SEA @ STL

Eddie

Rams

Fred

 Seahawks

 I’m expecting the Rams to take care of business.

 Along with no Bulger, looks like no S-Jax for Rams, which equals a big “L”

WAS @ PHI  

Eddie

Eagles

Fred

 Eagles

Eagles should be able to pull out the wing against a powerless Washington team.

 In Philly, gotta go with the E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!

CAR @ NYJ

Eddie

 Panthers

Fred

Jets

Put the ball on the ground and the Panthers are a tough team to beat.  I think they Jets are still going downhill.

Going with the home team

 Bengals

This should be an easy pick……  

 Utter domination

   IND @ HOU

Eddie

 Texans

Fred

 Colts

In week 9 Houston loss to the Colts in Indy by a FG.  They bring Indy to Houston under a two game losing streak with Indy’s undefeated.  Lossless team #1 goes down this week.   

 Like I say every week, they keep winning, so gotta go with the Colts

KC @ SD     

Eddie

Chargers

Fred

 Chargers

San Diego needs this win after a Denver win earlier this week.    

 The Bolts are looking really good and they should continue to do so at home against a “Bowe-less” Chiefs team

JAC @ SF

Eddie

49ers  

Fred

 49ers

MJD and the hot Jaguars try to roll into San Fran but I think the niners are due for a win.

 The Niners have been a team of two halves, which is why they’ve lost (and won) close games this year.  The Jags and MJD are rolling right now, but it’s in San Fran.  Going with the home team.

CHI @ MIN    

Eddie

 Vikings

Fred

 Vikings

The funny thing about football is that Cutler will probably have a career day after throwing 1 million interceptions thus far.  But I wouldn’t be on it.

 How many picks can Culter throw?  Enough to break an NFL record?

ARI @ TEN  

Eddie

Cardinals

Fred

 Titans

Can Vince Young and Co. keep the win streak alive against a high powered offense of Arizona?   I’m not so certain.

 Vince Young = Win somehow every week

PIT @ BAL     

Eddie

Ravens

Fred

Ravens

Without Big Ben this is another team.  Without Polamalu also this is a horrible team.      

 A rookie QB against the Ravens defense, in Baltimore?!?!?  Tough day to be a  Steelers fan

Monday 30 Nov

NE @ NO      

Eddie

Patriots

Fred

 Saints

This will be the week that will be talked about for years.  Both undefeated teams go down.   

 Just like the Colts, the Saints continue to win, so I’ll continue to pick them
