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:

Points: Chiefs    Victory: Chiefs


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: 72-70

Victories: 137-67

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.

Points: Chargers     Victory: Chargers


Bengals (-5.5) @ Cowboys

Points: Bengals    Victory: Bengals

Greg's NFL Picks" Week 12

 Another solid week for me: I went 5-4 against the spread (including the upset pick) and 10-2 in the victory column (Only missed on the Ravens and the Steelers on Thursday night). That brings me to:

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:

Points: Lions    Victory: Lions


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!

Victory: Ravens

Friday, November 15, 2024

Greg's NFL Picks: Week 11

Points: 57-55

Victory: 102-51

Here are this week's picks:

Ravens (-3.5) @ Steelers: Hook scares me so I will split

Points: Steelers    Victory: Ravens


Vikings (-6) @ Titans:

Points: Vikings     Victory: Vikings


Raiders @ Dolphins (-7):

Points: Dolphins (right on the money)  Victory: Dolphins


Rams (-4.5) @ Patriots: split because I still don't trust NE to be able to close games against average opponents

Points: Pats     Victory: Rams


Colts @ Jets (-4): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK!!!
Kind of a default pick, but also I don't trust the Jets at all. If the Colts can execute enough, they can beat them.

Points: Colts    Victory: Colts


Browns (-1) @ Saints: PICK'EM!

Victory: Saints


Seahawks @ 49ers (-6.5): Niners are beginning to round into form and I have the hook.

Victory: Broncos


Chiefs @ Bills (-2): PICK'EM!

Victory: Bills


Bengals @ Chargers (-1.5): PICK'EM!

Points: Cowboys    Victory: Texans







Friday, November 8, 2024

Greg's NFL Picks: Week 10 (I think)

 Another mid week for me against the spread. I lost out on a few close ones (Thanks a lot, Brian Daboll for going for 2 WHEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE!) In the end, even though I went 12-3 in the victory column, I went only 5-7 against the spread (the Ravens last night didn't do me any favors also). That brings my season total to:

Points: 51-49

Victories: 90-49


Let's get on with the picks


Giants (-6.5) @ Panthers: You're welcome, Germany.

Points: Giants    Victory: Giants


Bills (-4) @ Colts: 

Points: Bills    Victory: Bills


Vikings (-6.5) @ Jaguars:

Points: Vikings    Victory: Vikings


Broncos @ Chiefs (-7.5): I will split here. Chiefs haven't been impressive enough offensively.

Points: Broncos    Victory: Chiefs


Falcons (-3.5) @ Saints:

Points: Falcons    Victory: Falcons


Steelers @ Commanders (-3): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Commies have been playing it close recently and I think that trips them up this week. Steelers are veteran enough to take advantage.

Points: Steelers     Victory: Steelers




49ers (-6.5) @ Buccaneers:

Points: Niners (reluctantly)   Victory: Niners


Patriots (-6) @ Bears:

Points: Pats     Victory: Bears


Titans @ Chargers (-7.5):

Points: Chargers (a little reluctantly)   Victory: Chargers


Eagles (-7.5) @ Cowboys: I know the Eagles can be sluggish, but the Cowboys don't have a prayer.

Points: Eagles (It's right on the border)   Victory: Eagles


Jets (-2) @ Cardinals: PICK'EM! Don't get this spread at all. I will go with my logic. Cardinals are a bad matchup for this Jets defense. I think Cardinals pull away late.

Victory: Cardinals


Lions (-3.5) @ Texans: 

Points: Lions    Victory: Lions


Dolphins @ Rams (-1): PICK'EM!

Victory: Dolphins
