Week 15 NFL Picks
As I said on Friday, I am not particularly thrilled with the NFL these days. Finding value this week was a mind-numbing challenge. There are so many games that are automatic passes, and a couple of the interesting games have lines that are pretty tight. I only found three games this week that I will be taking a piece of. They are the best of the week, but in all of them there is still a bit of a reason to be nervous about the team I am backing. It’s also a bit odd that I am on three road teams.
Atlanta (+14.5) at Tampa Bay - I said I would pass on the Falcons, and I am a big Jeff Garcia guy, but this line is too much to ignore. Tampa Bay struggled badly last week, they aren’t consistent, and Atlanta is going to be fired up after the Petrino debacle. The Falcons are not good, but I think that their rage can keep them within two touchdowns here. Pick: Atlanta.
Indianapolis (-10.5) at Oakland - I don’t like backing the Colts this year, but they are in a good spot here. Their offense is on fire, and the Raiders have a world of troubles. They are experimenting at quarterback, Lane Kiffin is reportedly flirting with at least one college team, and the season is lost. Pick: Indy.
Cincinnati (-8) at San Francisco - As is the theme this week, Cincinnati is not a team I like to bet on. That being said, their offense is looking better recently, and San Francisco is a mess everywhere, but especially at quarterback this week. I’m not convinced that there is a ton of value in this pick, but there is enough for me to be on it. Pick: Cincinnati.
Saturday night update: Wow, are the Bengals ever a bad team. Marvin Lewis needs to not only be fired but also arrested for criminally wasting so much offensive talent. Their offense was terrible, and their defense was as bad as expected - they made first time starter Shaun Hill look like Tom Brady. What a disgusting display by a disgusting team.
Sunday night update: Let’s just say that Sunday didn’t go any better than Saturday and leave it at that.
