On first inspection, Atlanta -2.5 hosting Miami looks good. Seattle +9.6 @ Denver and Buffalo -2.5 @ New Orleans are intriguing games, and I can't get a feel for them yet.

i thought it was over a couple weeks back... maybe someone will make Thomas work harder next year???

blankmind.... thanks for keeping up on this week in and week out.

One more thing... never pick the Ravens again (it just might help you compete with Thomas next year).

I like a bunch of favorites, including Minnesota, Atlanta, the NY Jets & the NY Giants, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Washington, San Francisco, and Denver. The only underdog I like is San Diego +7.5 @ Arizona (it's a trap, but I don't care).

My picks are:

Atlanta -2.5 hosting Miami
San Francisco -11.5 hosting St. Louis

My up-down-then-inconsistent season ends with the following picks:

1. Giants -4.5 philly will be no challenge for a team with a shot at playoffs.
2. San Diego +7.5 zona never blows people away and the SD defense is solid.

Hope all is enjoying the holiday season!

All home favorites:

CARDINALS At COWBOYS      -7.0    42.0o/u
BILLS At DOLPHINS -2.5 42.5o/u
PACKERS At 49ERS -3.5 49.0o/u
PATRIOTS At JAC -8.5 42.5o/u


To this inexperienced eye, the "under" looks good for ARI/DAL, BUF/MIA, and NEN/JAX. Jacksonville jumped from a 7 point favorite to 8.5 after their solid performance last night vs. the Steelers. With Bledsoe out, I'm leaning towards the Jags. I'm also leaning towards San Francisco and Buffalo (if Buffalo was +3, I'd be much happier). Can anyone beat Zona by more than a last second FG? Can Dallas's sorry offense get well against the porous Zona D? Like sands through the hour glass, these are the days of our lives . . .
