Greg's NFL Picks: FINAL WEEK

 Went 5-5 against the spread last week and 10-3 in the victory column. That brings my penultimate total to:

Points: 100-91

Victory: 178-85

My Saturday picks are already in. Here are my Sunday picks:

Saints @ Buccaneers (-14):

Points: Bucs (reluctantly)  Victory: Bucs


Bears @ Packers (-9.5):

Points: Packers    Victory: Packers


Giants @ Eagles (-1.5): PICK'EM!

Victory: Giants


Panthers @ Falcons (-7.5): Hook scares me

Points: Panthers   Victory: Falcons


Commanders (-6.5) @ Cowboys

Points: Commies     Victory: Commies


Bills (-3.5) @ Patriots: UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!
Drake Maye has played really solid of late and the Bills don't need the game. Josh Allen will be in there for a little bit only. 

Points: Pats   Victory: Pats


Texans @ Titans (-1.5): PICK'EM!

Victory: Texans


Jaguars @ Colts (-3): zzzzzzzzz

Points: Colts    Victory: Colts


Chiefs @ Broncos (-10.5):  Broncos win and they're in. Chiefs don't need the game. Stars are doubtful.

Points: Broncos    Victory: Broncos


Chargers (-4.5) @ Raiders:  

Points: Chargers    Victory: Chargers


Dolphins @ Jets (-0.5!!!!): PICK'EM! First time I've seen a half point spread. Dolphins are basically hoping for a miracle. Think Rodgers goes out on his own terms. They played the Dolphins well last time. I think the Jets end on a win.

Victory: Jets


Seahawks (-7) @ Rams: Rams have clinched and will be resting.

Points: Seahawks    Victory: Seahawks


49ers @ Cardinals (-4.5):

Points: Cardinals    Victory: Cardinals


Vikings @ Lions (-3): Winner gets the NFC North title and the one seed in the NFC. I like Minnesota. Detroit's defense has been put through the shredder. People will lave praise on Sam Darnold, and he's had a great season, but the job Brian Flores has done with their defense is the secret sauce.

Points: Vikings     Victory: Vikings

Greg's NFL Picks: Week 14

     I got off to a fast start last week, but I kind of evened out down the stretch of games. The bottom line is I went 7-5 against the spread and 8-5 in the victory column (including Thursday Nightzzzzzzzzz). The season tally is now:

Points: 79-75

Victories: 145-72


Here are the picks for this week:

Bengals (-5) @ Titans:

Points: Bengals     Victory: Bengals


Dolphins @ Texans (-3): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!
I know Fins struggled against the Jets, but that's a division game. Houston needs to earn the trust back. I think Miami, in desperation, gets the win

Points: Dolphins     Victory: Dolphins


Jets (-3) @ Jaguars: Probably the only game the Jets will win this rest of the year

Points: Jets     Victory: Jets


Cowboys @ Panthers (-3): Who would have thought of these odds. And I agree.

Points: Panthers   Victory: Panthers


Steelers @ Eagles (-5.5): Trust the Steelers D to make this close. Will split

Points: Steelers    Victory: Eagles


Colts @ Broncos (-4.5): Probably the biggest game of the day, playoff implication wise. Will go with Denver.

I think this is Harbaugh's coming out party with the Chargers. Their defense is good and they have plenty of weapons to score. Chiefs keep playing with fire and they will get burned.

Bengals (-5.5) @ Cowboys

Points: Bengals    Victory: Bengals

Points: 62-59

Victories: 112-63


Now to this week. Next week is going to be tougher because of all the games being spread out but I will do my best.


Lions (-7.5) @ Colts:

Chiefs (-10.5) @ Panthers: Big number but I just don't trust Carolina

Points: Chiefs     Victory: Chiefs


Buccaneers (-6) @ Giants: Giants fans will be happy

Points: Bucs    Victory: Bucs


Titans @ Texans (-8): Same thing with the Chiefs. Big number but I don't trust Tennessee.

Points: Texans    Victory: Texans


Cowboys @ Commanders (-10.5): Jayden Daniels is rumored to be injured. I think Washington wins but they won't cover the number

Points: Cowboys    Victory: Commies


Patriots @ Dolphins (-7.5): Hook scares me but not enough

Points: Dolphins     Victory: Dolphins


Vikings (-3.5) @ Bears: Same as above

Points: Vikings    Victory: Vikings


Broncos (-6) @ Raiders: 

Points: Broncos    Victory: Broncos


49ers @ Packers (-3.5): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Niners blew that game against the Seattle but they were in command for a lot of it. Green Bay has kind of been shaky of late and they were lucky to beat the Bears. Niners ownership of Packers continues.

Points: Niners    Victory: Niners


Cardinals @ Seahawks (-1): PICK'EM!

Victory: Seahawks (why not?)


Eagles (-2.5) @ Rams: PICK'EM!

Victory: Eagles


Ravens (-2.5) @ Chargers: PICK'EM!
