I know i know i said i would get on this morning to give you my picks so that youd have my pic for tonights game, then i looked at who was playing and thought i'll sleep in cause the out come of this one was pretty obvious, boy am i glad i put Mike Wallace in for my Fantasy football team this week im in the championship game this week and that was ther perfect way to start (knock on wood) im going to start doing that after everything i say since last night i gave a shout out to the Lobo's and their winning streak was snapped tonight in the championship game in Vegas, these past few weeks just have been horrible for me, but thats sports you take the lows cause you know there will be highs, just like poker. Well anyways back to the NFL and my picks for the week, Yes i had the Steelers winning tonight. as for the rest of the weeks games. I have the Cowboys taking care of bussiness against a what i thought was recharged Cardinals team after their win 2 weeks ago but after last weeks showing i think the cowboys will take this one with convincing fashion. I think the Cowboys will be able to hold there lead a little better this week, i know their season wasnt what they wanted but at least they got rid of Wade (which if you ask me they should have done that awhile back) and now have turned things around under their new head coach so at least the seaon wasnt a total waste. The next game of the week is an easy one i have the Pats winning big in Buffalo i think Brady will have another amazing game and i think his streak with no picks will continue. Even though he is so effing lucky that Charles woodson wasnt on his A game last sunday cause if he was Bradys streak would be over and the Packers woud have won that game. im not sayin im just sayin. But anyways as Jay-Z would say....On to the next one...which would be the Jets at the Bears I know this pick might surprise alot of you being that i hate the Sanchize BUT i think that these teams are spitting imagines of one another but i think the Jets have more weapons on offense which will give them the Edge plus for some reason i think the Sanchize likes having to pull of insane come from behind playoff runs i think thats the way they fire themselves up they make it so they have to be perfect in order to win, just like they did all season long in most of their games. give up a huge lead come back win in OT or spot teams a few TD lead and come back to win in the last seconds of the 4th or OT they remind me a little of last years Cincy team but i think the Jets defense is better and i look for Mark to make fewer mistakes then Jay and i look for Edwards to have a big game and i think LT will come back and play how he was playing at the start of the season. So there is one of my underdog picks for the week. Next the Ravens play the Browns i think the Ravens take care of the Browns and keep winning the games they are supposed to and i think Ray Rice will have another break out game as well as the Ravens defense.I really like the next match up San fransico at at St. Louis i think this will be a good game but i think the Rams are to much for the Niners to handle i think Bradford has a great game i think that their defense plays a little better then last week and i think that Sam is a little more experinced this time around i also think the Rams are hungry to redeem themselves for the OT loss they suffered to the Niners earlier in the year, i think Jackson will be a big part of Sam's Success. The next game is Detroit at Miami the Lions have won their last 2 games and im going out on a limb here and picking them to upset the Dolphins i know that Miami has shown signs of greatness but really this year has been a huge bust on their part i expected them to be a tough physical hard to beat football team and i think they started that way on defense but then they lost that on the other side of the ball and i think they are just not playing as good as they should be and the Lions are starting to believe in their talent i mean why wouldnt they look at who they have: Calvin Johnson and Jahvid best and Morris as well as that defensive front anchored by Suh which i know a few of those were surprises earlier in the year but now are soild contributers and a real big part of why they have been able to come away with 2 quality wins the past 2 weeks and i think they continue the streak with a win in Miami this weekend. The Lions could easily be a team at .500 right now if they didnt shoot themselves in the foot and if Calvin didnt get screwed out of a TD the game against the Bears earlier this season, but they have managed to lose at least 5 games in the last quarter of the game, but i like what they have been doing and i think it will continue this week. The Redskins at The Jag's i am taking the Jags in this one i think MJD will redeem himself this week with a big week since last week he had a poor outting against a poor run defense. i think the Jags offense is just to much for Washington to handle espeically with their weak secondary i think Sims-Walker will have a good game as well as everyone else on the Jags offense, the Redskins will be playing catch up all game and i think the way the Jags D has played recently will keep any come back runs (like they pulled last week) out of the question. The next game on the slate is The Titans vs. The Chiefs and even though the Titans are coming off a big win against the Texans i think the Chiefs are an all around better football team and i think their offense will get them out to an early lead and the defense will keep the Titans from getting back in it, i just think the Chiefs have to many ways they can hurt you and the Titans are not the same Titans from last year their offense is no where to be seen and their defense is no where near as though on the run as it was before and they just look defeated to me and thats why i am taking the Chiefs winning BIG. Next game is going to be a really really good one Indy at Oakland, this is a really tough one i am really thinking about going with Oakland but given whats on the line for the Colts and how good number 18 is in these situtations not to mention Austin Collie AND Addai are both back with all that said i cant pick against the Colts so i am taking them in a SUPER close one, but i would not be surprised if the Raiders win, Mcfadden is just tearing it up this year and the Colts have horrible run defense and i really think that will hurt them in this game casue even if they do stop the run if Jason Camble keeps his composer in the pocket he can burn em deep IF the colts are worried about the run which they will be, BUT i think Manning just wills his team to a W in the final minutes of the game. The Texans at the Broncos i think the Texans will mad at last weeks loss and i think they put up to many points for Denver to compete with and come away with a W here, I really hope they draft defensively this year because if they add to come strong pass rushers on the d line and some secondary help they can be a playoff team next year no questions asked. Next games is San Diego at Cincy and obviously i got the Bolts in this one i think they have another huge game on the offensive side of the ball i really hope their late run is enough for them to clinch a playoff spot cause if they get their they can do some damage they are a really good team yes late bloomers but i think they will have a great game this week i hope malcom Floyd can come back. Seahawks at thge Bucs i got Tampa winning big here wanting to make a statement for their loss last week to the Lions, look for freeman to have a good game as well as Blount, (but please keep your fingers crossed for Lynch to have a big game so he helps out my fantasy team) ok and now The Giants at Green bay and i know everyone knows im going with the Packers not just cause they are my team and i think they can beat any team in the league (especially if they were healthy which is a whole different issue i wont even get started with!) but i think that Rodgers will pick their defense apart i know they like to hit hard and try and take QB's outta the game but i think that Rodgers will pick their defense apart and i think on the other side of the ball we will forse Eli to make to many mistakes and i think our defesne comes up with a few KEY turnovers and we come away with a MUST win here to keep our playoff hopes alive. (knock on wood!!) Next game is another easy pick the Vikings at the Eagles i have the Eagles with a big win here i think that they are a little disapointed in the way they started last weeks game obviously excited about how they battled back and finished but i think they put this one away early and never look back. Now last but for sure not least its the Saints vs. the Falcons and this is my other upset pick of the week and since its IN the georgia dome its an even bigger upset thats right im take the Saints to go into Matty Ice's house and steal one i think it will be just as close as the last time these 2 teams met earlier in the year but i think the Saints defense is playing a little more like their defense of last year and i think Reggie is feeling 100% and that i think right there will be key in the Saints victory over the Falcons this week. There they are all my picks in the books i think this week will be my best week picks wise all season.
One last thing i wanted to say props to the Pens as they beat the Caps tonight in a shoot out and Sid the kid continues his points streak with an assist AND scored his 29th goal of the season i know that the Caps havent been the Caps of old but i think they will get hot in the secon half and i look for this to be an awesome match up post season whenever they meet be it in the first round or the eastern confrence finals either way i think that the Pens might be on course for their 2nd stanley cup.
And now here is something new something i am going to start doing a lot more often with the football season coming to an end, i am gunna give you my NBA picks for Xmas day, I got New York pulling the upset over Chicago i would think its an upset yes i know the Knicks are playing great but the Bulls are the better team i just think with Noah gone Stoudemire will run wild maybe even go for 35-40 i know Boozer is there too and is also play great i just think Amare is on a whole other level and is taking the rest of his team with him up a notch. I got Boston over Orlando i know the Magic have made some moves the past week to make them stronger on the Offensive end but i think they lack to much defense and i think well check that i know it will show up on xmas against a defensivly sound team in Boston who can also shoot the ball really well i just dont see Orlando matching up with Boston at all. Next is Miami at The Lakers i am so sorry LeBron that you have to play on Xmas i am sure your game day check will be the only good thing basketball related that day cause i dont see the Heat coming away with the W here i know the Lakers havent been playing super great basketball as of late but they are back on track and i think that Kobe doesnt want to lose to LeBron ESPECIALLY after Boston has handle them easily this year and Kobe knows that not to mention i still think he is a little angry about The Heat being the "favorite" to win the Championship this year even with the 2 time defending LA Lakers looking just as good if not better then last year. Then there is Denver at OKC i think OKC will have a good game and come away with a win even though i wouldnt be surprised if the Nuggets won this one, i like the way New mexico Grad J.R. Smith has come around and i think that they are starting to turn things around but i dont know if they can come into OKC and come away with a W, thats why im sticking with the Thunder in this one. Last game of the day is Portland at Golden state and i will be taking the Trail blazers in the last game of Xmas day. and thats my first NBA picks of the year much more to come here and i will be starting to pick NCAA basketball as well. So come back tomorrow and check out i will do a Poker Blog as well as a few other sports i am big on that i havent touch on yet like MMA and a little fantasy baseball talk as well.
