After going 3-0 this week with correct selections of the underdog 49ers on Monday Night and the Saturday Night upset special Dallas Cowboys to go along with our riding the favored Colts and Peyton Manning on Thursday, your team here at P4P, on Sunday, looks to extend our lead in the 30th Annual National Handicapper’s Bowl, as featured in Pro Football Weekly. After Dallas dismantled Drew Brees and the Saints in the SuperDome last night, Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts are the lone remaining unbeaten team this year, but with the way the Jags marched up and down the field on the Colts, don’t look for them to be the first team to go 19-0. Their time will come and they will go down.
Here are PICKS4PLAYERS BEST BETS for NFL week 15 .
Miami @ Tennessee (-5)
The Titans are playing better football lately but Miami is battling for a playoff spot and will give Tennessee all it can handle. We see this as more of a field goal game that should go down to the last possession.
OUR PICK: MIAMI +5
Tampa Bay @ Seattle (-6 1/2)
The Seahawks have been tough at home only losing once all year, while the Bucs have been a disaster on the road. The Bucs have also lost 3 of the last 4 by more than double digits and must travel to the cold Seattle weather. This one shouldn’t be close.
OUR PICK: SEATTLE -6 ½
Cincinnati @ San Diego (-7)
Too many points for the top NFL scoring defense. Cincy is giving up only 16 points per game and should keep the score within a touchdown. We figure this game could turn into a track meet in the second half so the over (43) also seems like a strong play.
OUR PICK: CINCINNATI +7
San Francisco @ Philadelphia (-9)
With Westbrook and Maclin both out for the Eagles, the 49ers should be able to slow down the Philadelphia passing attack. Cold weather should play a part in keeping the score low and creating a tight game to the wire.
OUR PICK: SAN FRANCISCO +9
Sunday November 29th, Week 12, in the National Football League- P4P has free winners again 4 U 2day.

Here are PICKS4PLAYERS BEST BETS for NFL week 12.
Our pick in BOLD
Jacksonville @ San Francisco (-3)
The Jaguars have yet to play a team with a winning record this year and now must travel west to face the 49ers. While both teams have solid run games, the Jaguars may struggle on the road passing the ball and we see the 49ers defense creating some short field opportunities and easy scores.
Chicago (+10) @ Minnesota
This is just too many points to give up to a divisional rival. The Bears should be able to move the ball through the air and score enough points to keep up with the Vikings, because both team will pass the ball. We also like OVER 47.
Seattle (-4) @ St. Louis
The Rams are an injury-riddled bunch, so Seattle should have their way with the Rams. The Rams will have a very tough time scoring TD’s which will give the Seahawks an easier time covering the 4.
Washington (+9) @ Philadelphia
The Redskins defense has played tough all year and we see no reason why they can’t keep this game close with an inconsistent Eagles offense. Neither team will be able to run the ball which will make play-action fakes much less effective, so throwing will be a challenge too.
Cleveland @ Cincinnati (-13)
The Bengals have just too much firepower for the weak Browns defense. We also see some shorts fields for the Bengals offense as the Brady Quinn led Browns will find the going tough all day against a strong Cincy defense.
Good luck to all the players out there today. Play wise, play smart, play on, Players!!

Here are PICKS4PLAYERS BEST BETS for NFL week 11.
Our pick in BOLD
Pittsburgh (-10) @ Kansas City
Even without Troy Polamalu, Pittsburgh should meet little resistance from the Chiefs coming off their snooze fest against Oakland. No Dwayne Bowe, no Larry Johnson, no running game, no passing game, NO COVER for KC.
Indianapolis (-1 ½) @ Baltimore
Baltimore coming of a short week will have a hard time defending the red hot Colts offense. This line has moved a point and a half since Monday and with good reason. The Raven offense has not looked good the past few weeks and the defense does not seem to resemble the Raven defenses of yesteryear.
Atlanta @ NY Giants (-6 ½)
Atlanta seems to be a different team away from dome, going 1-4 on the year. They face a Giants team fresh of their BYE week and desperate. The Giants ground game will control the game and allow Manning to open up the passing lanes. Look for Ahmad Bradshaw to have a big first half and then watch Brandon Jacobs take over late as he punishes the Falcons’ LBs and DBs. This will be a solid, old-fashioned, workmanlike G-Men performance that will have their fan base thinking playoffs again, at least for the week.
Arizona @ St. Louis OVER 46
These teams feature two of the worst pass defenses in the NFL. Balls will be flying everywhere and hopefully the points too!
San Francisco @ Green Bay (-6 ½)
Green Bay throws the ball well and the 49ers can’t defend the pass, ranking 29th in the league. The Packers defense is better than most people think ranking 4th overall in yards given up. If the Packers get an early lead, this one won’t be close.
Buffalo (+9) @ Jacksonville
The Bills should come with a little extra motivation this week against a very suspect Jaguar squad. The Jags have yet to play a team with a winning record, yet only have a 4-4 record. This game won’t be pretty but the Bills will keep it close as everybody except for T.O. tries to make a good impression on their new coach in an effort to keep their jobs.
