2006 NFL Picks, Week 15

December 16th, 2006 · No Comments

So, we’re in the home stretch now. These are important games for many reasons, not the least of which is that it’s playoff season for most Fantasy Football league.

At any rate, there are a couple of non-football related posts coming up soon. Try and contain your excitement.

On to the picks!

Dolphins at Bills (-1)

Jeremy: Remember when the Dolphins were Super Bowl sleepers? When was that again? Oh, right, in August. Then we all found out that Dante Culpepper was killed in the offseason, and nobody bothered to tell him.

Well, now they’ve got Joey Harrington, and they’re cruising. And by “cruising”, I mean they still stink.

They can’t even get even against the freakin’ Bills? Well fine, Mr. Vegas, you want us to give the points, we’ll give the fucking points.

Asshole.

Pick: Bills

Brian: Miami has looked good lately, minus their collapse in J-Ville. But they did just blank the Patriots last week. And I can’t seem to figure out this Losman guy. I also can’t seem to figure out this betting on football thing either.

On a semi-related topic, I just made my fantasy playoffs (I’m sure all 4 of you care). I need to note that I had by far the fewest points scored out of our 10-team league (of which four make the playoffs). Needless to say there are 6 people pissed and talking all kinds of trash, hard to blame them since the $2,000 pot gets divided by the top-4… ANYWAYS, my team is so worthless I actually picked up Sammy Morris AND Marty Booker and am starting them both this week. Seriously, I deserve a playoff spot like OJ deserves his freedom.

I’m rooting for two dolphins. Take ‘em.

Pick: Dolphins

Bengals at Colts (-3.5)

Jeremy: So, Mr. Vegas was right about the Colts. I, apparently, was not, as the Colts didn’t exactly “win in a rout”. Not content with making us look stupid, Mr. Vegas gives us this line. And you know what? I don’t care.

I’m still taking the Colts. Why? Because there’s a part of me - granted it’s a very small part - that thinks Peyton Manning actually gives a shit about football and isn’t just counting down the moments until he can film another Sprint commercial.

And, if that’s the case, the Colts can cover the three and a half. So go with them.

Pick: Colts

Brian: What? Mr. Vegas did this last week and split, so who the hell knows?. The Colts are reeling and the Bengals are heating up at just the right time. Seriously, San Diego had better watch out for Cincy come playoff time.

This line is a joke. Anyone expecting a 96 point shootout like year is wrong. Mark my words, Rudi Johnson runs for something insane, like 345 yard and 6 TDs.

Take the Bengals.

Pick: Bengals

Chiefs at Chargers (-9)

Jeremy: Nine points in the NFL is a lot, unless the team is absolutely horrible.

And I know what you’re thinking here: “Jeremy is going to say that the Chiefs are horrible”.

Well, you’re right. They ARE horrible. And they’re coached by Herm Edwards, which should honestly be it’s own Vegas line. Like, you should be able to tease lines up if the team has Herm on the sidelines. I don’t even know what I mean with that, but I bet Brian does. He’s weird like that.

Anyway, take the points. Nine points is a lot, and it’s raining in SoCal.

Pick: Chiefs

Brian: I’m going to Miami.

Chargers win, but not by 9.

Pick: Chiefs

Jaguars at Titans (+3.5)

Jeremy: I stuck it to Mr. Vegas last week, taking the Titans. And, apparently, all Vince Young does is win football games.

But still, it’s the Jags. They’re looking more and more like serious contenders. That Jones-Drew is easily the best hyphenated athlete since Jackie Joyner-Kersee. Which, now that I think about it, isn’t really saying much.

The point is, who the hell knows?

Oh, screw it. Take the Titans.

Pick: Titans

Brian: After reading my slate, Jeremy summed this game up, “oh, thanks for that Titans game. Like ANYONE knows what’s going on there.” True story.

I figured since I the other three road teams to cover and this one is mentally impossible, I’ll stick with my trend.

Give the points? (Yes, that is a question)

Pick: Jaguars
