My Picks
400 Steelers -3
300 Patriots -4
200 Jets +9
100 Falcons +3
Steelers ...Both teams are 8-5 and in the playoff hunt. Vikes have won 6 in a row, 5 against chump teams and one a fluke win over the Giants. Other than that win over the Giants the Vikes have played 5 teams this year who currently have winning records. They lost by 21, 29, 20, 25 and 25. Pittsburgh, historically a strong late season team, ends the Vikes wining streak this week. This is my strongest play of the season.
Patriots ...their wounded are returning at all positions except DB. Belichek's schemes, an inexperienced QB and home field should make this at least a touchdown win.
Jets ...I'll give Saban credit, the Dolphins are improving but I'll still take any team in the league against them with a 9 point head start.
Falcons ...the Bears can't score and Pittsburgh showed that they could be run on which plays to Atlanta's strength, especially outdoors in the Chicago wind and cold.
