The Rating system:
4 stars These are the games that I think are dead nut locks.
3 stars These games are close to lock status barring a few miracles or bad officiating.
2 stars These are games I like based on gut feelings but I don't have enough information to give me the confidence to call the game a lock.
1 star If you put a gun to my head and made me pick one, this is the team I would take.
Week 15
Pittsburgh 3 1/2 at Minnesota This line is difficult to figure. Is this game a case of AFC vs NFC? AFC North teams have beat up the NFC North so far. The only quality opponent the Vikes have beaten in their winning streak was the Giants in a game full of special teams miracles. Regardless, the Steelers are not a dome team and are 1-5 all time at Minnesota. This should be a great game decided by a last second field goal.
Vikings one star. Over 40 1/2 two stars.
Indy -7 1/2 vs. San Diego 51 The Chargers would love to put a blemish on the Colts record. Their play off chances are dwindling but a win todya could save the season.
Chargers +7 1/2 one star.
Jacksonville -15 1/2 vs. San Fran I don't trust the Jags to cover a huge line.
The Niners are one star dogs.
Seattle -7 at Tenn The Seahawks may be looking ahead to their game vs. Indy next week. Tennessee is ok vs. the run on defense. Take the home team if you must.
The Titans are one star dogs.
Arizona -1 vs. Houston 42 Terd vs. Terd. Arizona is out of the Reggie Bush Sweepstakes.
The Cardinals are 2 star favs. Did you see that Chris Brown shank that field goal on purpose last week?
Miami -9 vs. Jets All of the statistical history between these teams point to the Jets. This game looks like a blowout for the Dolphins because of the Jets injury situation. The Dolphins might have blown their wad last week.
The Jets get the nod here, one star.
Carolina -9 vs. New Orleans The Panthers are pissed this time around. no pity here.
The Panthers still are only worthy of one star.
Washington -3 vs. Dallas This line is obvious bullshit. The Cowboys will take care of business some how, some way.
The Boys are 2 star dogs.
Cincinnati -8 vs. Detroit 43 1/2 Who cares about the line here, the over looks very tasty. The Lions are playing their last home game, which should give them some motivation. The Bengals defense is not dominant by any stretch. The Lions players will be fighting to keep their jobs for next season. The Bengals will score at will.
The over get 2 stars and the Bengasl get 1.
Oakland -3 vs. Cleveland Do the Raiders have any pride? This is the last winnable game for them. Come to think of it, they suck. If you made me, I'd take the Browns.
Browns get 1 star.
St. Louis vs. Philly +3 1/2 The Rams are not the better team here. This game should be a pick'em.
The Eagles are 2 star dogs.
Chicago -3 1/2 vs. Atlanta Bears in the cold. Enough said.
The Bears are 2 star favs.
