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!

Greg's NFL Picks: Week 11

     Had a tough day at work today, so I'm going to keep this quick. I went 6-6 against the spread and 12-2 in the victory column. That brings my season total to ( I split last night, so I got the victory but not the points)

Points: 57-55

Victory: 102-51

Here are this week's picks:


Packers (-5.5) @ Bears

Points: Packers     Victory: Packers


Jaguars @ Lions (-13.5): Huge number, but with Mac Jones in for Trevor Lawrence....

Points: Lions    Victory: Lions


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.

Points: Niners    Victory: Niners


Falcons @ Broncos (-2): PICK'EM!

Victory: Broncos


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

Victory: Bills


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

Victory: Chargers


Texans (-7) @ Cowboys: Really thought about this possibility, but the Cowboys are too banged up for me. However, I will split. 

Points: Cowboys    Victory: Texans

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

Greg's NFL Picks: Week 9

     As I said last week, I was a bit distracted via the baseball playoffs, and it showed in my results. Good victory total (10-5, which includes the Texans dying last night), but bad results against the spread (5-9, despite me hitting my upset pick last night. So that brings my season total to:

Points: 46-42

Victories: 78-46

This slate doesn't look great, so I will give it a go.


Broncos @ Ravens (-9.5):

Points: Broncos      Victory: Ravens


Commanders (-4) @ Giants: This could have been my upset, but the Giants just find ways to lose games. They'll keep it close, but Commies pull it out.

Points: Giants     Victory: Commanders


Dolphins @ Bills (-6):

Points: Bills   Victory: Bills


Raiders @ Bengals (-7): 

Points: Raiders   Victory: Bengals (feel a lot of splits this week)


Cowboys @ Falcons (-3.5):

Points: Falcons     Victory: Falcons


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

Victory: Chargers


Saints (-7) @ Panthers:

Points: Saints    Victory: Saints


Patriots @ Titans (-3.5): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!
Less to do with the fact that NE beat the Jets last week and more to do with the fact that the Titans are absolute garbage. 

Points: Pats     Victory: Pats


Jaguars @ Eagles (-7.5): Hook is scaring me here. And a game against Dallas next week, Philly might be looking ahead.

Points: Jaguars    Victory: Eagles


Bears @ Cardinals (-1.5): PICK'EM!

Victory: Bears (tossup)


Lions (-3) @ Packers:

Points: Lions    Victory: Lions


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

Victory: Rams


Colts @ Vikings (-5):

Points: Colts    Victory: Vikings


Buccaneers @ Chiefs (-9):

Points: Bucs     Victory: Chiefs
