Weekly Picks

Another week, another ill-fated best bet. What else is new?

baltimore +9 DENVER
I think Denver will win. I think they are the eventual Super Bowl champions, I just think this game could be a little more difficult than we expect.

SAN FRANCISCO -3 green bay
This is probably the toughest game of the weekend to call but I'll go with the home team and the better defense.

seattle +2 1/2 ATLANTA
The Seahawks might be a team of destiny. They're really good and Atlanta seems to be one of those teams we've seen recently, really hot start to the season, coast down the stretch and never reach that level of play in the playoffs. Plus, they may not have been that good to begin with.

BEST BET
NEW ENGLAND -9 1/2 houston
The Patriots killed the Texans when they played in the regular season and that was only 1 month ago. It's been proven that blowouts in the regular season don't have a correlation to the playoffs but everything about this game says New England blowout to me.
