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:

Ravens (-16.5) @ Giants: I can't do it. It's too high. If the Ravens cover, good for them

Points: Giants   Victory: Ravens


Commanders (-7.5) @ Saints: Hook scares me.

Points: Saints    Victory: Commies


Chiefs (-4) @ Browns:

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: 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.

Points: Broncos     Victory: Broncos


Bills @ Lions (-2.5): PICK'EM!  Possible SB preview

Victory: Lions


Patriots @ Cardinals (-6):

Points: Cardinals    Victory: Cardinals


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

Victory: Bucs


Packers (-2.5) @ Seahawks: PICK'EM!

Victory: Packers


Bears @ Vikings (-6.5):

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
