GAME PICK (vSPR)
|
|
NYJ v NE
|
NE
|
NYJ (+10.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
A
late ground push to bring the game within a TD is brought to a heartbreaking
halt for J-E-T-S fans when a slippery pigskin (due to heavy rains) slips from
the grasp of NYJ RB Ivory and is quickly recovered by the NE LB corps to seal
the win for the home side.
|
||
|
ATL v BAL
|
BAL
|
BAL (-7.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Quoth
the Raven “What a beating”. Dirty Birds lose their 11th road
contest in their last 12 outings after Super Bowl winning BAL QB Flacco and
Co. jump ahead 10-pts by third quarter’s end and never look back.
|
||
|
TEN v WAS
|
WAS
|
TEN (+5.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
A
late passing push from TEN QB Locker to put his club ahead on the road is
quelled when the WAS secondary jumps the route on a play intended for Titans
TE Walker in the red zone.
|
||
|
SEA v STL
|
SEA
|
SEA (-7.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Down
a TD late and nearing midfield, surprisingly proficient STL QB Davis slings a
20-yd pass to WR Quick that is immediately picked off and returned for the
pick-6 by SEA CB Sherman (Sherman then proceeds to brag to the media about
his game-changing play for the next several weeks incessantly).
|
||
|
CLE v JAX
|
CLE
|
JAX (+6.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
ugliest matchup of the week does not fail to disappoint as a strong push by
rookie Jags pivot QB Bortles to carry his club into FG-tying range goes for
naught after the Browns jump the line and block JAXs’ OT dreams.
|
||
|
CIN v IND
|
IND
|
IND (-3.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Colts leap to a tie for the AFC Division lead after defeating a beaten &
beleaguered Bengals team on the road by a full TD.
|
||
|
MIN v BUF
|
BUF
|
MIN (+6.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
MIN
QB Bridgewater displays flashes of why he was rumoured for the #1 pick in the
NFL Draft just past this Sunday in Buffalo. However, it’s the hometown Bills
that seal the deal in this matchup thanks in part to some timely late game connections
between BUF QB Orton & TE Chandler & the consistent kicking leg of K
Carpenter.
|
||
|
MIA v CHI
|
CHI
|
MIA (+3.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
race for the lead in the NFC North gets a little tighter this weekend after the
‘Fins force the issue rushing the ball at game’s end on the goal line on 4th
down and are stopped in their tracks by an amped up Bears run defence.
|
||
|
NO v DET
|
DET
|
DET (-3.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
NFC South gets a little uglier this weekend while the NFC North just gets
tighter and tighter after the inept traveling Saints fail to produce more
than 2 TDs worth of offence against a stout Lions defence and fall to DET via
a late game FGM by consistent (though off-field troubled) K Prater.
|
||
|
CAR v GB
|
GB
|
CAR (+7.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Late
game heroics rule the roost for a second weekend in a row for the Packers as
well-seasoned veteran QB Rodgers pieces together a few timely late game
throws in this one & hands the rock off to the league’s staple kicker, K
Crosby, for the final seconds game-winning FGM.
|
||
|
KC v SD
|
SD
|
KC (+4.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
KC
keeps this one interesting throughout but the Superchargers, led by the
invigorated play of QB Rivers this season, inch out a TD in the final minutes
to jump ahead by a FG+ to seal the home side win here.
|
||
|
ARI v OAK
|
ARI
|
OAK (+4.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Cards escape by the skin of their teeth in this matchup courtesy a blocked
long FGM try at game’s end on OAK kicking afficiando K Janikowski.
|
||
|
NYG v DAL
|
DAL
|
DAL (-7.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
Not
so much the Cowboys as it is their stellar RB Murray puts back-to-back division
opponent hurtings on an overrated-of-late, traveling Giants squad.
|
||
|
SF v DEN
|
DEN
|
DEN (-6.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
49ers come prepared to play in Mile High this SNF but, far from a surprising
outcome, DEN QB Manning pulls out a late game TD pass to TE Thomas to seal the
7-pt home side victory here.
|
||
|
HOU v PIT
|
PIT
|
PIT (-3.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
(For
at least a weekend) PIT appears the dominant squad it has been over the past
decade with a convincing 2-TD victory over a sad sack HOU squad that is one
of the greatest imposters in the NFL to-date.
