New Orleans -3.5 @ San Francisco
The 49ers are the popular pick because they get to host the Saints outdoors.  I say that an eight of an inch of grass is not enough to slow down the New Orleans offense and [...]

Cincinnati +3 @ Houston
The worst part about this game is that it will result in one of these teams advancing in the playoffs.  Andy Dalton can’t pass against good defenses and T.J. Yates can’t pass.  I’ll be taking the under in this one.  As far as the [...]

Week 17: 9-6 (60%) / Season: 158-84 (65%)
The first weekend of the playoffs is here. For those fans of teams who didn’t make the playoffs; there is always next season (trust me, I feel your pain). With the 49ers, Packers, Patriots, and Ravens all sitting at home, the wild cards do battle. This is probably [...]

Season: 149-78 (66%) / Last Week: 9-6 (60%) /  Scott’s Pick: 5-8-1 (1-0)

Houston -7 @ Indianapolis
The Colts got their win to avoid the imperfect season and have no reason to play hard and screw up their draft position.  Even if they wanted to, [...]

My poor, poor T.J. Yates. Apparently there is a Take it to the Bank curse. Anyway, the season is literally in the home stretch with 11 of 12 the playoff spots possibly being decided this weekend. We had quite the head-turning Week 16 and [...]

Dallas -7 @ Tampa Bay
The Cowboys have too much talent and too much on the line to blow this game.  I don’t feel good about it though.  How could you after [...]
