NFL Picks Week 14

UPDATE: Started off strong by winning my first 4 picks, then watched the rest of the day get flushed down the toilet. JETS, why oh why do I pick the Jets at home, PATriots - 21 - 0, what did you forget how to score?

Well, it is time for the week 14 of the NFL picks. Last week I went 6 and 10, which keeps me below .500 for the year.

Pittsburgh vs Cleveland - picked on Thursday 27 - 10. Madden 07 pick 24 - 10 Pittsburgh.

Kansas City vs Baltimore - Baltimore bit the big one 10 days ago against a division rival. I see this a blip on the radar. Look for Baltimore to win on a late field goal 24 - 21. Madden 07 pick 24 - 19 Chiefs.

Houston vs Tennessee - Vince Young 5 and 3 as a starter, enough said. Titans win 21 - 14. Madden 07 pick 27 - 6 Tennessee.

Carolina vs NY Giants - Both teams are playing for their playoff lives, and both are struggling. Panthers have problems covering at home. Panthers are 1 - 5 ATS last six games against the NFC East. Going with the Giants 27 - 24. Madden 07 pick 31 - 14 Panthers.

Cincinatti vs Oakland - 10 1/2 points given to Oakland! Oakland's defense is better than that. Cincinatti 21 - Oakland 12. Madden 07 pick 24 - 15 Bengals.

Washington vs Philadelphia - Philly is on a semi role and still in the wild card hunt, but this is at Washington. Washington 14 - Philly 7. Madden 07 pick 13 - 10 Redskins.

Atlanta at Tampa Bay - Which Vick will show up, the one who played like Aikman in the first couple of games or the one who has played like, well crap is the best word for it. I think the crappy one plays as this is a division game and Atlanta is on the road. TB pulls the upset 21 - 17. Madden 07 pick 24 - 20 Buccaneers.

Indianapolis at Jacksonville - I know the Colts have a playoff spot already wrapped up, but this is a divisional game and I just don't see the offense continuing to struggle. Colts 31 - Jaguars 21. (reason to shudder Jaguars are 6- 1 ATS as dogs, Colts are 1 - 6 ATS in their last 4 weeks of season). Madden 07 pick 20 - 13 Jaguars.

Detroit vs Minnesota - The Millen clock is ticking. Look for the Lions to drop another tough one at home. (reason to shudder Vikings are 1-5 ATS vs teams with losing records). Vikings 21 - Lions 17. Madden 07 pick 22 - 20 Lions.

New England at Miami - Why you should not pick the Patriots, 2 and 3 in last 5 games at Miami. 2 and 11 vs Miami in December. Why you should pick the Patriots - Brady is finally figuring out his wide receivers, the Pats are still in the hunt for home field advantage and Miami stinks on offense. Pats 31 - Dolphins 14. Madden 07 pick 30 - 24 Patriots.

San Francisco Vs Green Bay - Favre can not win these games by himself. San Francisco has steadily improved every week. 49ers 24 - GB 10. Madden 07 pick 24 - 17 49ers.

Seattle at Arizona - Seattle is still getting back in the flow with their returning players. Lienart is steadily improving and Dennis Green is usually good in the last month of the season. Arizon 28 - Seattle 21. Madden 07 pick 44 - 36 Seahawks.

NY Jets vs Buffalo - Mangini has this team playing well, Jets win going away 31 - 17. Madden 07 pick 20 - 17 Jets.

San Diego vs Denver - Its Shanahan vs Schottenheimer, offensive game with both teams racking up the points. San Diego 35 - Denver 31. Madden 07 pick 22 - 10 Chargers.

Dallas vs New Orleans - Dallas has too many weapons, Romo goes crazy and puts up 35 points, big D's defense cleans the ground with crushing tackles. (reason to shudder Saints are 6 - 1 ATS in the last 7 games as underdogs). Cowboys 35 - Saints 18. Madden 07 pick 30 - 13 Dallas.

Chicago at St. Louis - Even if Griese did take half of the snaps in practice this week their offense stinks, Da Bears win with defense but today St. Louis scores and scores, St. Louis 21 - Chicago 10. Madden 07 pick 20 - 17 Bears.
