Week Fourteen Picks

This week we get to see how Studesville handles the head coaching position of the Denver Broncos. (Really? The Running Back's coach? But there hasn't even been a rushing offense to speak of this season.) Anywho, Pat Bowlen is hoping that this new interim coach can provide the spark that both Dallas and Minnesota found in the firings of their head coaches. Welcome to NFL, the Not For Long League.

The Craptastic games go to:
Colts @ Titans
Wow, both teams are plummeting quickly and neither know how to save themselves. Even though Peyton Manning has thrown 11 INTs the last three games, I think the Colts have a better chance of winning this one.

Browns @ Bills
The Bills don't know how to play football for 60 minutes. Last week they took Favre out of the game and then ran back an INT for a touchdown. After that, they thought their game problems were solved. The Browns, on the other hand, are playing for the full 60 minutes and have taken down quality teams this year. Look for Mangenius and the Browns to finish above .500 and Mangenius to hang onto his job for another year.

Bucs @ Redsk!ns
The Bucs struggle in cold weather games but the Sk!ns have struggled all season. Look for the Bucs to upset the Sk!ns at home.

Seahawks @ 49ers
A division rivalry that could determine a playoff position for either team. Yet the 49ers assistant coach abruptly resigned this week and Alex Smith and Singletary are left to do what they do best. Lose. The Seahawks aren't consistent on the road but they should be able to beat a down and out 49ers team.

Broncos @ Cards
Wow. Talk about two seasons that are shot. Studesville starts at head coach this week against rookie QB Skelton. You know what the Broncos should do? They should try out their rookie QB Tebow just to see what he can do. Broncos win on the road. Finally.

Not Craptastic but not Fantastic:
Packers @ Lions
The Lions could win games if they only lasted 30 minutes. The Packers are hunting for the lead in their division and are so close to the playoffs they can taste it. Look for the Pack to come out with the win.

Giants @ Vikings
The Giants may have lost the last four meetings between these two teams but are due for a win.

Bengals @ Steelers
The Steelers finally gained the upper hand with their win over the other division rival in the Ravens. They'll hang on to the lead this week with a win against the Bengals.

Raiders @ Jags
The Jags are surprisingly more consistent and have the lead in the AFC South. The Raiders are too inconsistent for me to pick them in this game. Jags for the win.

Falcons @ Panthers
The Panthers haven't played well all season. And this last week Coach John Fox admitted it was probably due to a lack of talent. The Falcons certainly don't have a lack of talent and will take another win to add to their division lead.

Rams @ Saints
The Rams are playing better, but probably won't win their 3rd road game this season against a Saints team who is trying to stay competitive with their division rival, the Falcons. Saints win.

Chiefs @ Chargers
The Chiefs' QB Matt Cassel is out this week due to his appendectomy, bringing in Brodie for QB. Between that and playing at Qualcomm I'd have to say that the Chargers take the win and come one game closer to taking the division lead.

Ravens @ Texans
Why is this the Monday Night game? Anywho, the Texans are inconsistent enough this season to not be able to win against a Ravens team whose mediocre offense hasn't had much improvement this season. Ravens for the win.

Fantastic Competition:
Patriots @ Bears
Cutler complained about Soldier Field having one of the worst turfs in the NFL this week. Even though the worst turf should serve as an advantage for the home team, the Pats know enough about football to stall the Martz-Cutler offense and work around Urlacher and the defense.

Dolphins @ Jets
The Jets have to be absolutely humiliated after their Monday Night loss when Belichick exposed all their weaknesses. Sparano will be watching this film very carefully, but alas, his sunglasses will hinder his vision and the Jets will win for the second time this season in this division rivalry matchup.

Eagles @ Cowboys
The Cowboys got good in just enough time to throw a wrench into other teams' playoff plans. This should be a real tough game for either team to win, but the Eagles have more at stake for playoff chances and I'll take Vick over Kitna any day.
