1/1
|
Colts
|
13-0
|
Manning threw 3 interceptions but he also tossed 4 TD’s
as the Colts held back Brandon Marshall’s record setting 21 receptions,
topping the Broncos, and setting a new NFL mark of
22 straight regular season wins.
|
|
2/2
|
Saints
|
13-0
|
The Saints remained perfect; holding back depleted division rival Atlanta–
a team which came to play.
|
|
3/3
|
Vikings
|
11-2
|
The Vikings got back into the win column with a convincing 20 point
route of Cincinnati.
|
|
4/4
|
Chargers
|
10-3
|
The Chargers kept their winning ways going with an impressive
road victory at Dallas.
|
|
5/5
|
Broncos
|
8-5
|
When you hold Peyton Manning to 220 yards, and pick him off 3 times,
and your top receiver hauls in 21 catches for 200 yards, and you
enter your opponent’s territory 9 times, it would seem
you’ve done more than enough to win… Not the case, as the Broncos
fell at Indianapolis, and also failed to cover the spread– which was
just the beginning of our bad week as we had Denver as our money line
underdog of the week, not to mention ATS.
Denver has more than enough quality wins to hang on to the
number five spot at (8-5).

6/7
|
Bengals
|
9-4
|
Cincinnati’s passing game sputtered in Minnesota, which
becomes quite meaningless
in the wake of Chris Henry’s tragic death. RIP.
|
|
7/8
|
Packers
|
9-4
|
At one point this year it was almost time to
call Green Bay’s season a bust… But since then
they’ve kept on winning, and grabbed win #9
at Chicago in week 14.
|
|
8/11
|
Eagles
|
9-4
|
The Eagles are having another strong December, scoring a key road
victory over the Giants in what essentially was a playoff game.
|
|
9/6
|
Cardinals
|
8-5
|
Every year there’s that one top flight team which gets swept by a lower
ranked division rival… This year’s entrant, the Cardinals
getting swept by the 49ers.
|
|
10/12
|
Patriots
|
8-5
|
The Patriots overcame turnovers to grab win number eight at home
over the Panthers… Now about this Randy Moss thing… He’s never
really played well in the cold in the NFL. He just shuts down.
It’s happened for years.
|
|
11/14
|
Dolphins
|
7-6
|
The Dolphins scored a key, potentially playoff impacting,
road win at Jacksonville…Just think of the games this
Miami team blew earlier this season. Their record could be
so much better.
|
|
12/9
|
Giants
|
7-6
|
The Giants dramatically outyarded the Eagles
on Sunday night, but still lost a crucial game.
It appears the playoffs won’t be in their cards
this season.
|
|
13/10
|
Cowboys
|
8-5
|
The Cowboys dropped a low scoring affair versus the Chargers
which was certainly impacted by Ware’s neck injury.
|
|
14/13
|
Ravens
|
7-6
|
The Ravens blew away Detroit. No surprise. But it may be too late for this
squad, whose record suffers from several blown games this season.
|
|
15/17
|
Jets
|
7-6
|
The Jets dominated the Buccaneers in Tampa with a solid rushing attack
and a smothering defensive effort.
|
|
16/16
|
Jaguars
|
7-6
|
The Jaguars dropped a key game to the Dolphins would could be a playoff
breaker. Up next a chance to end the Colts’ run for perfection.
|
|
17/15
|
Steelers
|
6-7
|
The Steelers forgot to bring their “Cribb Notes” to the game
Thursday night in Cleveland, if you know what I mean.
With losses to the Chiefs, Raiders, and Browns in a span
of just 4 weeks, it cancels out impressive wins over
the Chargers, Vikings, and Broncos. Yikes!
|
|
18/19
|
Titans
|
6-7
|
The Titans kept their playoff hopes alive with a blowout over
the Rams.
|
|
19/18
|
Falcons
|
6-7
|
The Falcons gave the Saints a run for their money,
but fell short in what’s become an injury riddled
campaign.
|
|
20/20
|
Texans
|
6-7
|
Houston kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 27 point
thumping of the Seahawks.
|
|
21/24
|
49ers
|
6-7
|
San Francisco earned a sweep of the Cardinals thanks to forcing 7 turnovers
on Monday night.
|
|
22/21
|
Panthers
|
5-8
|
With Matt Moore at the helm, Carolina hung tough in New England before succumbing
to a ten point defeat.
|
|
23/23
|
Redskins
|
4-9
|
TE Fred Davis continued to impress as the Redskins erupted for 17
4th quarter points in Oakland for the victory.
|
|
24/22
|
Raiders
|
4-9
|
When Gradkowski left with an injury, and Russell entered the game,
the Raiders crumbled at home versus Washington– which brought an end
to the hot streak enjoyed by our free pick of the week page.
|
|
25/25
|
Bears
|
5-8
|
Cutler was plagued by more interceptions as the Bears dropped their
eight game of the season in a home loss to Green Bay.
|
|
26/27
|
Bills
|
5-8
|
Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for just 86 yards, but the Bills
grabbed a road win at K.C. thanks to picking off Matt Cassel
four times.
|
|
27/26
|
Seahawks
|
5-8
|
Seattle was blown out in Houston. It was their 4th major blowout loss
of the season.
|
|
28/32
|
Browns
|
2-11
|
The Browns got up for the Steelers as much as they possibly could.
And pulled off the upset on Thursday night.
It was the perfect storm. And reminiscent of their upset
over the Super Bowl champion Giants still in recent memory.
|
|
29/28
|
Chiefs
|
3-10
|
The Chiefs suffered their 10th loss of the
season as Matt Cassel tossed four interceptions
against Buffalo.
|
30/29
|
Buccaneers
|
1-12
|
Tampa Bay was dominated in every way, shape, and form at home
against the Jets… Could they grab win number two next week in Seattle?
|
|
31/30
|
Rams
|
1-12
|
The Rams were crushed in Tennessee. Just crushed.
|
|
32/31
|
Lions
|
2-11
|
Detroit suffered a 45 point loss at Baltimore.
Ummmmm…. The more things change, the more they stay the same?
