The end of the regular NFL season is upon us and the teams can smell the playoffs!! Should be a good one tonight but im going to lay off of it and give my plays for this sunday - i did well last week, hoping for the same results this go around:
NYJ -3 @ Dallas: So the cowboys are bad, really bad. Obviously not having their star quarterback has hurt them all season, but there is more to the struggle than that IMO. The QB was just the start, along with that Dez bryant hasnt been on the field, and their running game just isnt as effective as it could be. Any person betting on the games this season would most likely fade the cowboys, how can you blame them? After their loss last week they dropped to a crappy 4-9. My main reason for picking the jets this week was the lack of motivation seen by the cowboys team overall. Yes they beat the redskins, purely on emotion and sloppy play by WASH. The emotional factor has gone out the window now and the bags are packed. Jerry has already started looking at next years draft and NYJ will go to dallas and win by 7 or more.
Seahawks -15 vs. Cleveland: Pete carroll has his team performing at super bowl level at the moment, and the almighty browns roll into town this weekend. This place will be electric because of the recent play of Seattle, the town is buzzing and football is on the forefront once again. The browns beat a terrible 49ers team last week and are overall a mess - The bengals beat them by 34 two games ago, they lost to a struggling ravens team, and the steelers won by 21 in week 9. I see the hawks winning this game by 21 or more. The x factor for me is the home field advantage this week, it will be extremely loud and the browns offense will struggle very bad to communicate effectively.
Green Bay -3 @ Oakland: Alright so the raiders beat a beat up broncos team in denver by three points last week (the broncos beat themselves)....hold on second lets not forget about the 14 points loss to the chiefs 2 games before that, the 5 point loss at the lions, and only beating the titans by 3 points! One week does not make up for a season of below par play and coaching. Im sure the oakland fans will be loud and proud in the first quarter because they have smelled a taste of victory for the first time in a while but lets not forget who is leading the green bay offense. Rodgers started red hot and has cooled off forsure, but that doesnt discount all of the execution, communication, and in game management advantages GB has over oakland. Should be a 10 point packer win atleast.
Cinci -4.5 @ 49ers: After watching niners lose to the browns last week i think that the local pewee football team could have beat them. They played really bad against the browns, no other way to put it. Which team will show up? the one who only lost to arizona by 6, and beat the bears in week 13 or the team who losing by 2 scores to the browns? Lots of questions to be answered, but i really think that AJ mccarren will be able to rally around his team and perform well enough to beat SF by 5 or more. The bengals are the best at messing their seasons up, and this one is no different, and to be honest i think they will lost their first playoff game no matter who they play. The solid defense, and the weapons surrounding AJ will be enough to cover this weekend.
Eagles +3.5 vs Arizona: The cardinals are a top 5 team in the league this year, and have a chance at the superbowl if they want it. This play was based around current situational factors: The cardinals have locked up a playoff spot and may not want to get their players hurt. The eagles have been playing better, and this is their second home game in a row, philly is pumped that a good team is in town and chip kelly is licking his chops at the fact that he could get back to .500 - i dont think the eagles are a better team, and 8 out 10 times the cardinals would win this game. This week i have a gut feeling that the emotions will be at an all time high for the eagles and they will beat arizona. I have learned that a motivation team is a dangerous team in any sport and this is a prime example of what im talking about.
Chargers/Dolphins O 46: If you look at the recent play of the chargers you would have to bet that any game they play go under - this week is interesting, although their is no motivation i think the chargers still have something to prove, and that starts with rivers. He needs a breakout game to reassure the fans of SD that he is the right man for the job, and the dolphins are a prime target for some old school rivers to gates style games. The dolphins really want this win and will have to fight for it on the road, fighting for the win entails scoring the football. I like this total to be around 53!
Goodluck yall
