Thursday Night Football - Danny had Indianapolis outright, Eric did
not pick the game
Oakland @ Kansas City -2
It appears the Chiefs want the interim tag removed from Romeo
Crennel's title. I felt Haley received a raw deal doing much of
anything in a season in which his offensive stars (Charles, Moeaki and
Cassel) all succumbed to injuries and he lost his best defensive
player in Eric Berry. Oakland played well last week but still lost
giving me cause to call it a season for Oakland. The Raiders have
more talent but so did the Packers. The Chiefs finish strong giving
former New England GM Scott Pioli a reason to make another former
Patriot the permanent head coach.
Eric : OAK 21 KC 24
Danny: OAK 17 KC 28
Jacksonville +7 @ Tennessee
Locker may get the start, Hasselbeck is a game-time decision. Chris
Johnson should play, but I like the Tennessee defense and the passion
they are playing with. Win out and they still have a shot at the
playoffs.
Eric : JAX 13 TENN 18
Danny: JAX 10 TENN 23
Miami -10 @ New England
New England gets a scare due to their inability to stop the run but
too much offense for Matt Moore and company.
Eric: MIA 24 NE 31
Danny: MIA 27 NE 31
Arizona +4 @ Cincinnati
All of the sudden the Cardinals look not terrible. I hope Kevin Kolb
didn't get in on that hideous Phoenix real estate market with hopes
he'd be around to see it rebound…because he won't. Kolb's like Kyle
Orton without the pizzazz.
Eric: ARI 27 CIN 24
Danny: ARI 10 CIN 16
Denver @ Buffalo +2.5
Tebow gets back on track, Denver runs the ball 40+ times today and
they eat up the clock against a depleted Bills defense.
Eric: DEN 23 BUFF 20
Danny: DEN 20 BUFF 16
St. Louis @ Pittsburgh -12
Take the under in this game as Big Ben is out and the Rams won't be
able to do anything offensively. I see a low score and a Steelers
win.
Eric: STL 10 PITT 28
Danny: STL 6 PITT 13
New York Giants +3 @ New York Jets
It is ironic that the two New York teams will duke it out for the
title of "least disappointing" in their shared stadium located in New
Jersey. Both teams laid an egg last week. The Giants can rebound
and win the division outright thanks to wins over their division
rivals. The Jets, on the other hand, have an outside chance at a
wildcard. Jason Pierre Paul terrorizes Sanchez and old school Tom
Coughlin takes Rex Ryan down a few pegs.
Eric: NYG 28 NYJ 20
Danny: NYG 17 NYJ 27
Minnesota @ Washington -7
Replacing Rex Grossman is getting more difficult each day. The
Redskins began a surge once a playoff opportunity ended and Matt
Barkley decided he'd rather spend Sunday's with USC coeds than with
the likes of Shannahan squared. Washington wins again giving false
hopes to misguided Redskins fans everywhere.
Eric: MINN 16 WASH 24
Danny: MINN 24 WASH 21
Tampa Bay @ Carolina -7 ½
Tampa is in a freefall while Carolina is playing consistent football
and getting better each week. I expect a very good performance from
Carolina's defense.
Eric: TB 14 CAR 24
Danny: TB 16 CAR 34
Cleveland @ Baltimore -13
Baltimore is without Anquan Boldin for the rest of the regular season,
expect Ray Rice and Ricky Williams to carry the load the next two
weeks.
Eric: CLE 13 BAL 27
Danny: CLE 13 BAL 24
San Diego @ Detroit -2
Phil Rivers is playing out of his mind when in comparison to the first
9 games of the season, no INT's last 5 games. Stafford and Detroit had
a great comeback win last week in Oakland, but I don't see Detroit's
defense getting key 3rd down stops against San Diego's offense. I
expect a MONSTER stat day from Rivers and Vinny Jackson.
Eric: SD 27 DET 24
Danny: SD 38 DET 30
Philadelphia @ Dallas -1.5
The Dream Team vs. America's Team. Neither moniker feels right…ok,
the latter feels about right. Who knows what teams will show up?
Dallas' only real defeat came at the hands of the Eagles. They've led
or been tied in the 4th for each of their other losses. The Eagles
victory felt overwhelming. Dallas was lucky to have scored at all.
Jason Babin is in a groove and rookie Tyron Smith will have his hands
full. On the other side, we could see a monster game from Trent Cole.
Left Tackle Doug Free continues to struggle after receiving his
offseason contract extension. With an ailing Felix Jones and a Washed
up Sammy Morris filling in for DeMarco Murray, the pressure will rest
squarely on Tony Romo. He doesn't exactly have the best track record
in these situations.
Eric: PHI 34 DAL 21********LOCK
Danny: PHI 30 DAL 27
San Francisco -2 @ Seattle
San Fran is on a short week after beating the Steelers, and have to
travel to Seattle to face the red-hot Seahawks and the 12th man.
Seattle will win this game and Pete Carroll will once again try to
sneak into the playoffs.
Eric: SF 17 SEA 10
Danny: SF 10 SEA 13
Chicago @ Green Bay -13
For those of you who think Rodgers won't play if Seattle wins on
Saturday; you're wrong. McCarthy will play Rodgers and the offensive
starters for a minimum of 3 full quarters to get them back in elite
form and scoring points. Only way Rodgers comes out earlier is if he
has thrown 3-4 TD passes and the Packers are up by 20.
Eric: CHI 13 GB 31
Danny: CHI 17 GB 34
Atlanta +7 @ New Orleans
What a great MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL matchup. Everyone remembers the
Mike Smith play call to go for it on 4th down in their own territory
in overtime. Well, Atlanta's defense has drastically improved since
then and the offense is beginning to play with a lot of consistency.
Expect a very good game and both quarterbacks will impress.
Eric: ATL 31 NO 34
Danny: ATL 24 NO 20
