Desperation Sunday - Only two games remaining heading into NFL Week 16 - Wildcard spots are up for grabs and P4P has free winners!!!!!

Here are PICKS4PLAYERS BEST BETS for NFL week 16.

Seattle @ Green Bay (-14)

On paper this game seems like a mismatch but the weather will play a huge factor in keeping this game close.  We have also noticed a positive trend lately with teams that are double digit underdogs. Seattle won’t win but they will keep it to single digits.   

OUR PICK: SEATTLE +14

 

Houston @ Miami (-3)

This is essentially a playoff game for both teams.  The loser is out of the playoff chase.  This game is easy to pick if you look at it from the view that it’s a playoff game.  Miami has the better defense and the better ground game.  They will keep Houston’s offense off the field and chew up clock running the ball.

OUR PICK: MIAMI -3

 

Denver @ Philadelphia (-7)

The Eagles offense is rolling and the return of Brian Westbrook will only make it better.  The Eagles defense will make it tough on Kyle Orton all day.  Look for a double digit victory for the Eagles.  Philly is preparing to make a deep run into the playoffs and if an injury to Michael Vick is one of your main concerns, you are fine!  Look for Asante Samuel to pick off as many as three Kyle Orton passes today and at least one will be a T.A.I.N.T (Touchdown After INT).  Brian Dawkins returns to Philly and after one possible nice round of applause…….never mind, a huge chorus of boos raining down from the loyal Philly fans, he’ll have his hands full trying to coral this Eagles offense.

OUR PICK: PHILADELPHIA -7   

 

Dallas @ Washington (+6 ½)

We have been on board with the home underdogs for the past few weeks and this looks like another good spot.  The Redskins will be in spoiler mode and fired up to put a damper on Dallas’ playoff hopes.  This will be a hard fought low scoring game.  If you’re worried about Albert Haynesworth and his getting sent home from practice by lame duck head man Jim Zorn, do not worry.  If I may quote the great philosopher AI, as in, Allen Iverson, ‘Practice! Practice!  What are we really talking about here?  Practice?  Not a game, but practice!’  So Zorn the Thorn basically pissed off the best D-lineman in the game, and then gave him a day off so he can feel better on Sunday.  Look for ‘Phat Albert’ to require constant double teams while still shutting down many of the Cowboys rushing attempts, while DEs Carter and Arakpo hammer and harass Tony Romo all game.

OUR PICK: Washington +6 ½ 

….and only one unbeaten team remains! Picks4Players and The NFL are heating up in an East Coast blizzard

Here are PICKS4PLAYERS BEST BETS for NFL week 14. 

San Diego @ Dallas (-3)

The Chargers roll into Dallas having won 7 in row.  Dallas is playing better but struggled last week against the Giants.  We see this as a tight game throughout with the Chargers offense making the difference.

OUR PICK: SAN DIEGO +3

 

Detroit @ Baltimore (-13)

The banged up Lions come into Baltimore with the Ravens smelling blood.  The Ravens need this one so they will play desperate showing no mercy to the Lions.

OUR PICK: BALTIMORE -13

 

Cincinnati @ Minnesota (-6 ½)

This game is a huge measuring stick for the Bengals, after playing weak opponents the past few weeks they now step up in class with the Vikings.  The Vikings were shaky last week against the Cardinals.  We like the matchup of the Cincy passing game against

OUR PICK: CINCINNATI +6 ½    

 

Miami @ Jacksonville (-3)

Now 14 weeks into the regular season, Jacksonville has yet to face a team with a winning record.  At 7-5, one would think with that schedule the Jags would be standing at 9-3.  Miami coming off the win against New England should pound the Jags.

OUR PICK: MIAMI +3

Rush Hour in the NFL - The Drive toward the playoffs - P4P’s got you covered

 Spin is a funny thing.  How an individual or a group chooses to look at things is not always how things actually are.  Case in point, the Sunday Night ‘Flex’ game in the NFL.  This week the originally scheduled Sunday Night game was the Patriots at Miami.  That, however, has changed to the always intriguing Arizona (yawn!!!) Cardinals versus the speeding in excess of 100 MPH Minnesota Vikings.  Sure Favre is a great story that we’re all sick of, but he is actually holding up his end of the deal, playing seemingly mistake-free football.  The spin surrounding this ‘flex’ game is the response in New England.  Not once has anybody from reporters, to sports-talk radfio, to fans mentioned the clear slap in the face of the Patriots by the NFL by bumping their game from prime time.  In fact, all anyone is saying in ‘Denial Nation’ is, ‘finally, we (becasue they’re all part of the team) get a 1 pm game.’  Spin it people, spin it.  The reality is, and it is more clear by the day, the Pats are irrelevant to the rest of the country.  While still solid and capable, they strike fear in nobody.  Now on to the real issues of the day; 

Here are PICKS4PLAYERS BEST BETS for NFL week 13.

 Denver (-6) @ Kansas City

The Broncos are fresh off their beating of the Giants where they travel to Kansas City to face the Chiefs.  The improving Broncos defense should limit the horrrrible Chiefs offense.  Look for a 17-7 Broncos victory.

OUR PICK: DENVER -6

Oakland @ Pittsburgh (-14)

The return of Ben Roethlisberger should spark the Steelers offense and the porous Raiders offense will struggle against an angry Steelers defense.  It is highly unlikely that the Raiders will even score double digits.

OUR PICK: PITTSBURGH -14

 

Tampa Bay (+6) @ Carolina

Clearly this is an easy road trip for the Bucs.  They have battled hard in recent weeks and we think they will keep this close without Carolina QB Jake Delhomme playing.  In this low scoring game getting 6 points will come in handy.

OUR PICK: TAMPA BAY +6   

 

Houston @ Jacksonville (+2)

This line has jumped 2 points in favor of the Jaguars in one day and it doesn’t seem justified.  The Jags have been solid at home winning 4 straight.  Their running attack should have their way with the porous Texans run defense.

OUR PICK: JACKSONVILLE +2

NCAA Football winding down plus the ‘Game of the Year’ from the Georgia Dome-P4P has your winners

Here are PICKS4PLAYERS BEST BETS in College Football for December 5^th.

 

We continue our recent college hot streak with these 4 selections for today!  Good Luck!

 

Our pick in BOLD

 

SATURDAY’s SELECTIONS

 

West Virginia (+1 ½) @ Rutgers

The key to this game is whether the Rutgers run defense can stop the West Virginia running attack.  The problem for the Scarlet Knights is if they fall behind, their weak passing attack won’t get them back in it so we give the edge to West Virginia.

 

Houston (-2 ½) @ East Carolina  (in Greenville, NC)

We just don’t see how anyone can keep up with the Houston offense right now.  East Carolina just doesn’t have enough firepower to stay in this.  Look for a lot of passing yards and points but ultimately the Cougars will run away with this in the 4^th quarter.

 

Florida @ Alabama (+5 ½)  (in Atlanta)

This is the game of the year by all accounts.  This one will be a hard-hitting closely fought battle.  No more than a field goal will decide this one.  We love getting 5 ½ points with the Crimson Tide.

 

Texas (-14) @ Nebraska (in Arlington)

The Cornhuskers just don’t have the weapons to keep up with the Longhorns.  Texas knows a win here should put them in the BCS Championship game. So look for them to go full throttle for 4 quarters.
