2013 Week 1 Picks

Here we are at week one once again. Because all the teams are 0-0, I haven't written the records out after every team. The first week features some interesting games, like Packers vs. 49ers and Falcons vs. Saints, along with the night games.

Seahawks vs. Panthers 
Pick: Seahawks

2012 Conference Championship Picks

It's that time of the year again -- the time when though there are only two games, they matter more than anything else so far. Isn't that the story of the playoffs?

NFC -- 3:00 PM

(3) San Francisco 49ers vs. (1) Atlanta Falcons 

Falcons by 3

Pick: 49ers    Spread Pick: 49ers

Reasons: This game baffles me. Neither team really sticks out to me because both have been inconsistent  The 49ers lost to the Seahawks (big) but beat the Packers? The Falcons should have lost last week and have really been skating by all season. But the bottom line is that they didn't lose. Should doesn't count. But I'm concerned because of how well Russell Wilson did aganist the Atlanta defense. Kaep is better than him (perhaps...). Atlanta better have a solution. However, I don't think they do. My gut tells me to pick the 49ers, but I also believe it could go either way. I haven't believed in the Falcons all year -- why start now?

AFC -- 6:30 PM

(4) Baltimore Ravens vs. (2) New England Patriots

Patriots by 9.5

Pick: Ravens   Spread Pick: Ravens

Reasons: Does the phrase 'Team of Destiny' mean anything to you? It should. Teams such as the Giants (both recent years) and the Packers are notable for their own improbable 'team of destiny' runs through the playoffs and to the Super Bowl. Here's the deal -- the Ravens beat the Patriots in week 3, in an emotional win and with a great field goal. They should have won this game last year (and yes, it is exactly the same game as last year, for those of you who don't remember). It'll be an amazing game, but after last week can anything stand in the way of the Ravens? I don't think so.

2012 Division Weekend Picks

Saturday

4:30 PM
(4) Ravens vs. (1) Broncos
Broncos by 10
Pick: Broncos   Spread Pick: Ravens
Reason: Peyton Manning has never lost to the Ravens. The Ravens have never beaten Peyton. But Peyton also is 0-4 in playoff games played in weather under 40 degrees. Something has to give.

8:00 PM
(3) Packers vs. (2) 49ers
49ers by 2.5
Pick: Packers   Spread Pick: Packers
Reason: The Packers beat down Vikings. The 49ers are better than the Vikings to be sure, but the Packers are getting that Super Bowl run look to them. Aaron Rodgers has a little bit of a grudge here, as does Mike McCarthy. Should be a close game.

Sunday

1:00 PM
(5) Seahawks vs. (1) Falcons
Falcons by 2.5
Pick: Seahawks   Spread Pick: Seahawks
Reason: The Seahawks are hot right now. The Falcons are not. I know two east coast games in a row is a little extreme, but I think Pete Carroll after those years in USC will know how to handle these East coast trips. Momentum is everything in the playoffs and the Seahawks have it. The Falcons should panic.


4:30 PM
(3) Texans vs. (2) Patriots
Patriots by 10
Pick: Patriots   Spread Pick: Patriots
Reason: Did you not see the tape of the last game? Someone needs to wake up the Texans. They didn't play outstandingly against the Bengals, who are not even close to the level of the Patriots. Two weeks to prepare for this game and playing at home -- Belichick won't lose.

2012 Week 17 Picks

It's the last week of the season and anything can happen. I think the return of their coach, Chuck Pagano, will help the Colts defeat the Texans, who have never won at their stadium. The Bills will show up against the hopeless Jets and the Lions will show us why they were good last year. All of the three teams mentioned above play teams on the decline. And yes, I did pick the Redskins over the Cowboys.

Ravens (10-5) vs. Bengals (9-6)
Pick: Ravens   S: Ravens
Panthers (6-9) vs. Saints (7-8)
Pick: Saints   S: Saints
Jaguars (2-13) vs. Titans (5-10)

2012 Week 16 Game Picks

By the end of the day expect many of the playoff spots to be filled. The only one that probably won't be is the NFC East. Who's in that division again? We never talk about them....

Pick: 49ers   S: 49ers

2012 Week 15 Picks

Some good games this week and some not good games this week (woe is to those who have to watch Chiefs/Raiders.) I believe that the Ravens could beat the Broncos, but also can't ignore the statistic that Peyton Manning has beaten the Ravens over 8 straight times. The Colts might be able to pull one out against the Texans, but I wouldn't hold out for it. And ghee, aren't we all excited for Monday Night football to be Jets/Titans...oh wait....

Denver (10-3) vs. Ravens (9-4)

2012 Week 14 Picks

I am very excited for the Battle of the Beltway (Ravens v. Redskins) today! Though I think the Ravens will triumph, I think it will be a good game. I believe that both the Monday Night and Sunday Night games will be close as well. The Lions will put up more of a fight than you think. PS Hey Jets, here's a hint: you had it right last week -- bench Mark Sanchez.

Falcons (11-1) vs. Panthers (3-9)

2012 Week 13 Picks

Here are the picks for this week! I find it interesting that the games between the bad teams are getting more difficult to pick -- and also more interesting. I suppose teams with closer records and skill will play closer games. Also, in light of the tragedy yesterday morning, I do not believe that the Chiefs and Panthers game should be held, especially because the game is at arrowhead. It is not respectful of the grief of the coaches, families and players, especially those who witness the event. Sometimes the NFL needs to take a step back and realize it's about more than the money.


Cardinals (4-7) vs. Jets (4-7)
Pick: Jets   S: Jets

2012 Thanksgiving Game Picks

Alright it's another Thanksgiving -- which means not only turkey, but three football games! Two of which are staring teams that have been playing on Thanksgiving for years; the Lions and the Cowboys. Though both of these teams have fallen a little bit on hard times lately, the games should still be good. I would like to hope that the Lions could rebound, but last year I picked them to no avail. So without further ado, here are the picks!

Texans (9-1) vs. Lions (4-6)
Pick: Texans   S: Texans
Redskins (4-6) vs. Cowboys (5-5)
Pick: Cowboys    S: Cowboys
Patriots (7-3) vs. Jets (4-6)
Pick: Patriots   S: Patriots

2012 Week 9 Picks

A few tough picks this week. I feel like the Bills could upset the Texans, but don't think they can go four quarters. The Lions are hitting a stride and could be fully back on track this week. Packers Cardinals could also be interesting, as well as Dolphins Colts. The Monday Night game between the Eagles and the Saints will be good -- and when I say good I mean full of offense. Also, if the Redskins win this weekend, the trend is that the incumbent will win the election. Food for thought.

Cardinals (4-4) vs. Packers (5-3)
Pick: Packers   S: Packers
Ravens (5-2) vs. Browns (2-6)
Pick: Ravens   S: Ravens
Dolphins (4-3) vs. Colts (4-3)

2012 Week 6 Picks

There's a large difference of opinion this week, which I find interesting. I think a lot of teams will surprise! Notably  Browns will get their first win, Colts will continue the momentum and the Lions will get back on track!

Bengals (3-2) vs. Browns (0-5)
Pick: Browns  S: Bengals
Colts (2-2) vs. Jets (2-3)

Pick: Broncos  S: Broncos

2012 Week 5 Picks

Week 5 picks! I've got a few upsets in here, notably the Redskins over the Falcons and Panthers over the Seahawks. I also think Manning will come out on top of Brady -- he's got the better defense behind him, I believe, and that will make the difference in the game.

Falcons (4-0) vs. Redskins (2-2)
Pick: Redskins   S: Falcons
Ravens (3-1) vs. Chiefs (1-3)

2012 Week 4 Picks

Here are the week four picks! Same format as previous weeks, of course! I almost wanted to pick the Bills over the Patriots, remembering last year, but just couldn't. That being said, Go Bills!

2012 Week 3 Picks

Here are week three picks! Same deal as the last two weeks. I wanted to pick the Browns, but got burned last week doing so. I also secretly want to pick the Dolphins, but know the Jets have a pretty good defense that will contain Reggie Bush. Saints will get their first win, Redskins will win, Eagles may win... who knows?

2012 Week 2 Picks

Same deal as last week. Last week we tied, which was interesting. I'm still searching for that perfect week, which I've never had as long as I've been doing picks -- but I feel really good about this week! I have some upsets in there, notably Rams and Browns. They came so close last year, and always play well against each other. Remember all the first picks are mine.

2012 Week 1 Picks

Here's the deal for picks this year. For the first week, my boyfriend Steven and I are going head to head and you all get to watch. Hopefully, I represent well and beat him. (In interest of fairness, we picked completely separately from each other, which is easy because we live in different states right now.) The first pick of each game is my pick. The second is his. Because each team is undefeated, I haven't put records in like I normally would have. Enjoy! I've also provided a link here to the "experts" picks. NFL.com "Offical" picks
