GAME PICK (SU)

GAME PICK (vSPR)
|
|
TEN v JAX
|
JAX
|
TEN (+3.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
the battle of FGMs at EverBank Field this TNF, the Jags emerge triumphant in
what is a shameful, avert your eyes victory over a worthy opponent in TEN. A
last second boot via JAX K Scobee-dooby-doo proves the clincher here.
|
||
|
PHI v WAS
|
PHI
|
WAS (+8.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Eagles are victorious in a must-win game on the road at division rival WAS.
However, the price of the victory is onerous as the ‘Skins play a much
tighter game than the point spread suggests leaving Philly gassed for, yet
another, must-win road game vs a division rival next weekend.
|
||
|
SD v SF
|
SF
|
SF (-1.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
49ers defence punishes their visiting Golden State brethren throughout the
course of this ball game, lending the struggling-of-late SF offence just what
they need - innumerable opportunities to seal the deal for the home victory
(which eventually they do).
|
||
|
MIN v MIA
|
MIA
|
MIA (-7.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Fish sink the Vikings ship in South Beach this weekend with a convincing TD
win over an otherwise much-improved MIN ball club that has witnessed its
fortunes upraise since the insertion of rookie QB Bridgewater as a starter in
the lineup.
|
||
|
BAL v HOU
|
BAL
|
BAL (-6.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Ravens put to bed the Texans playoff hopes this weekend in the Lone Star
state, pounding the home club by a final score differential of 10 points
while, inversely, promising themselves a fair shot next weekend at a bid for
the highly-contested AFC North crown.
|
||
|
DET v CHI
|
DET
|
CHI (+9.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
yet another bid to frustrate their already beaten & beleaguered fan base,
Da Bears management all-but surrenders a home side defeat this weekend at
Soldier Field by inserting a much less capable starter in the QB spot in
Jimmy Clausen vs a rising divisional opponent in DET. Luckily for CHI-town
fans, the Lions are still as inept a road team as ever, lending Da Bears
numerous opportunities to keep things close throughout this ball game.
|
||
|
CLE v CAR
|
CAR
|
CLE (+3.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
a must-win situation, the Panthers bare their teeth in the final minutes of
this ball game and assemble a 1-pt victory courtesy an FGM by K Gano. CLE QB
Johnny Football appears as inept as ever here as ship helm of the Browns.
However, in what is yet another MENSA-esque Browns management decision,
Manziel is decried CLE’s starter next weekend unwaveringly.
|
||
|
ATL v NO
|
NO
|
ATL (+6.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
As
ugly as the win-loss records indicate the NFC South truly is this season, the
entertainment level of said division will be prime viewing the next two
weekends as a battle for the division crown is all but in the air for near any
club to seize. The Saints emerge victorious by a hair in this contest
courtesy home field advantage alone.
|
||
|
GB v TB
|
GB
|
TB (+11.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Packers put in as minimal effort as possible to squeak by the Bucs here in a
bid to remain healthy and headstrong for a coming division crown showdown
finale next weekend vs DET at Lambeau Field.
|
||
|
KC v PIT
|
KC
|
KC (+3.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Chiefs pull off a major upset in Steeltown this weekend with a late game
victory over PIT via way of RB Charles’ crafty footwork. PIT fans exit Heinz
Field with shoulders slumped this Sunday, fully knowing their bid for a
playoff spot this season has been all but been dashed.
|
||
|
NE v NYJ
|
NE
|
NYJ (+11.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Pats escape by the skin of their teeth in NY this weekend as the J-E-T-S give
their division-leading rivals all they can handle in, what is effectively,
NYJ’s Super Bowl this season.
|
||
|
NYG v STL
|
STL
|
NYG (+5.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
the battle of ‘who can make the fewest mistakes’, STL emerges victorious as
NYG QB Manning simply cannot keep from passing to the Rams secondary instead
of his own receiving corp. A few miraculous Giants WR Beckham Jr. RECs ensure
things remain close throughout the tenure of this contest.
|
||
|
BUF v OAK
|
BUF
|
BUF (-6.5)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Bills pull off a must-win road victory this weekend in the Black Hole but it
comes with a cost as the Raiders keep this matchup within striking distance
throughout its tenure and put a hurting on some key BUF offensive regulars
that will directly impact the Bills chances going into next weekend.
|
||
|
IND v DAL
|
IND
|
IND (+3.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
‘D’ in Big D stands for disappointment this weekend for ‘Boys fans as the traveling
Colts, with a first-round bye on the line, storm into Cowboys Stadium this
Sunday afternoon and steal an absolute nail-biter from a DAL squad that
couldn’t need the win more.
|
||
|
SEA v ARI
|
SEA
|
SEA (-8.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
In
spite of home field advantage & a better record in the divisional
standings, the Seabirds make short work of the QB-hobbled Cards this weekend
in the desert with a convincing 10-pt victory over Bruce Arians brute
brawlers.
|
||
|
DEN v CIN
|
DEN
|
DEN (-4.0)
|
|
“THE LAST PLAY”
|
||
|
The
Jungle Cats lick their wounds in anticipation of next weekend’s crucial
battle with division rival PIT following a Broncos beatdown this MNF in
Cincy. DEN clinches a first-round bye in this contest, shredding ‘Nasty
Nati’s pass defence for 4+ toss TDs.
