NFL end of regular season week 17 picks (3 for 5 last week)
Saturday, December 27th, 2008Take the Chicago Bears on the road against the Houston Texans getting 3 points. This is line is funny, it started as the Bears a 1 point favorite, what changed to give them 3 ? They are playing for a shot at the playoffs and the division, with some help. The Texans are out of the picture but are playing at home and for pride after getting beat by the Raiders last week. I have to take the Bears now getting a field goal, with something to play for. Bears + 3
Take the Detroit Lions getting 11 at the Green Bay Packers. The Lions have said this is there Superbowl and they need the win to avoid being the first team to go 0-16. The Packers have been garbage as of late but have a huge advantage playing a dome team at the frozen tundra. I think 11 points is too much though, take the Lions getting 11. Lions + 11
Take the Oakland Raiders getting 2 touchdowns on the road against the Tampa Bay Bucs. The Bucs are playing for a playoff birth and it is a must win, I see them winning the game by 10 but not covering the spread. Oakland played well last week, lets hope that continues. Raiders + 14
Take the Kansas CIty Chiefs getting a field goal on the road at the Cincinatti Bengals. Both teams have been playing better as of late but the Chiefs have been in a lot of close games this year. Chiefs + 3
Take the Pittsburgh Steelers giving 11 points to the Cleveland Browns in Pittsburgh. The Browns are the worst team in football right now and have not scored an offensive touchdown in almost 2 months! I know the Steelers have there spot in the playoffs locked, I just can’t see them letting down. Steelers -11
over 50
The game for all the marbles and the AFC West Division is a tough line. I like the San Diego Chargers winning at home against the Denver Broncos but do not like them giving up 9 points. Instead I will take the over 50 point scored total, as I see this as a shoot out. Take the Over 50 points
This Sunday afternoon game will be the biggest of the day as the Dallas Cowboys are a 1.5 underdog on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles. For Dallas it is win and your in, the Eagles need a win and a little bit of luck. I will take Dallas getting the point and a half. Cowboys+ 1.5
