DSS Week 14 NFL Picks

DSS Week 14 NFL Picks.

It's been years since I have had the pleasure of writing this blog.  Life is a crazy thing, one moment your a college kid, the next your 30 sitting at your desk trying to get back into a blog you started seven years ago cause you loved the name.  Lucky for me today I remembered my password (weird right?!?!), now I am back in full force (lets see how this goes).  When I was in college one of my favorite things to do was to write, especially make picks.  Seven years later I am lucky enough to be back at it.  So here we go folks, without any further nonsense below are your week 14 picks...

Cowboys @ Bears:
Little late on this one, but I did pick the boys.  The Bears suck, their D is about as sad as they come, and when you have an O Line that cant be called for holding eventually you win.  Cowboys needed this one cause next week they play the Birds in Philly.  Also, Jay Cutler could still give a shit.

Steelers @ Bengals:
This should have the makings of a tough AFC North match up, but I still think that Andy Dalton is a fraud.  I like the Steelers in this one.  Their defense is getting healthy and they have Big Ben.  Should be close, but I like the Steelers.

Rams @ Redskins:
RG-ME is done in Washington, Me-Sean Jackson wishes he was still on the Birds, and the Rams look to continue rubbing in one of the worst trades in NFL History with a victory on the road in DC, I think they will get that done.

Giants @ Titans:
Both of these  teams will have high draft picks next season, possibly new coaches as well.  I think Eli will step it up and get it done.  Titans are decent at home, but not decent enough to stop Mr. Beckham Jr no matter how bad the Giants have been this season.

Panthers @ Saints:
It should be a crime that a 3-8 team (Panthers) is still in the playoff conversation, but after this weekend that should end.  I like the Saints at home.

Jets @ Vikings:
We all know this has been a long and hard season for me and the rest of Jet nation, but the Rex Ryan farewell tour continues on Sunday with another loss to another mediocre team.  Keep feeding Geno the ball to ensure that top spot in May's draft.  Vikings should get it done against a Jet team that can break rushing records but not the goal line.  Rex Ryan is a broken man...and man...it is a sad sight.

Ravens @ Dolphins:
This should be one of the better early games.  Miami should feel good that they are in the Wild Card hunt, but they should also feel bad they cannot stop a high school running back.  I like the Ravens in this one.  Sorry Fins fans but this team is not for real.

Colts @ Browns:
Brian Hoyer will get his final shot to prove he can lead the Browns to the playoffs, and this was the right move.  Unfortunately its going to be hard for him to keep up with Andrew Luck.  I think the Colts pull out a tough one in Cleveland.

Bucs @ Lions:
Lions at home, not much else to say.  Bucs need a lot of help and they won't get much in Detroit.  Lions should handle Tampa with ease.

Texans @ Jaguars:
Houston still has a chance to make a run, but they will need Fitzpatrick to show up every week to end the season, not sure he can be as consistent, but the Texans should take care of the Jags.

Bills @ Broncos:
The Bills have had a good season even tough it seems that EJ Manuel (see Kyle Orton) is a bust for now.  Unfortunately for them Peyton Manning is not Geno Smith, and they have to play in Denver...I smell blowout.

Chiefs @ Cardinals:
Arizona has one of the best defenses in the NFL, if not the best.  I think they get it done at home against Andy Reid and the Chiefs.

Seahawks @ Eagles:
This is the game of the day.  With a lot on the line as far as division championships and playoff positioning look for the Eagles to show everyone they are for real.  The Eagles defense is much better then people think and this will show.  Look for the Birds to take Marshawn Lynch out of the game forcing Russel Wilson and co to throw more on a cold windy day in Philly.  Mark Sanchez will do enough to keep the Birds offense going.  The only downside to a game like this...usually the winner doesn't fair well against the loser in the high touted playoff rematches.  Time will tell.

49ers @ Raiders:
My prophecy about the niners on this blog years ago came true, the did make a run and they did lose, but they won't lose to Oakland this week.

Patriots @ Charges:
As a depressed, beaten and deflated Jets fan I have finally realized one thing.  Never bet against Brady and Co.  This week I wont.  Pats take a close one in SD.

Falcons @ Packers:
Its silly to think that a 5-7 team such as the Falcons can win their division, and its even sillier to think an indoor team with a borderline franchise QB will out play Rodgers in Green Bay.  Pack might put up 60 come Monday night.
