Week 14 Pick'em

Raiders @ Jaguars (-4)
The Jaguars have overachieved to this point in the season.  The Raiders put a beat down on a surging Chargers team last week.  Even though they are on the road, the Raiders can run the ball and stop the run, should be a low scoring affair.

vs Spread: Raiders (+4)
Straight Up: Raiders

Bengals @ Steelers (-8.5)
The Bungles are back.  They seem to play divisional opponents close though.

vs Spread: Bengals (+8.5)
Straight Up: Steelers

Browns @ Bills (pick)
Peyton Hillis is the perfect weapon against the weather in Buffalo.  The Browns have beaten some quality teams in the last 2 months and are superior to the Bills at this point.

vs Spread: Browns
Straight Up: Browns

Packers @ Lions (+7)
Packers have some tough games coming up and need this win to remain ahead in the Wild Card race.

vs Spread: Packers (-7)
Straight Up: Packers

Falcons @ Panthers (+7.5)
I said it last week, the Falcons are the best team in the NFC.

vs Spread: Falcons (-7.5)
Straight Up: Falcons

Bucs @ Redskins (+1.5)
After watching the way they played the Falcons last week I feel safe saying the Bucs are for real.  They are loaded with young talent on offence.

vs Spread: Bucs (-1.5)
Straight Up: Bucs

Rams @ Saints (-9)
The Saints have won 5 in a row and are hitting stride at the perfect time.  The Rams defence has been playing well and Stephen Jackson can neutralize the time of possession against anyone.

vs Spread: Rams (+9)
Straight Up: Saints

Seahawks @ Niners (-5)
PLAYOFFS?! We talkin 'bout the PLAYOFFS?!  How this game has playoff implications I'll never know but the Niners should ensure that parity remains in the god awful NFC West.

vs Spread: Niners (-5)
Straight Up: Niners

Patriots @ Bears (+3)
Short week, on the road, against a tough Bears defence.  One of the reasons Tom Brady was able to perform surgery on the Jets is that he had tons of time to throw.  The Bears can rush the passer with their front four.

vs Spread: Bears (+3)
Straight Up: Bears

Dolphins @ Jets (-5.5)
The Jets will bounce back after a crippling loss on Monday.

vs Spread: Jets (-5.5)
Straight Up: Jets

Broncos @ Cardinals (+4)
I'm interested to see how the offence runs in Denver without McDaniels.  The QB carousel in Arizona continues.

vs Spread: Broncos (-4)
Straight Up: Broncos

Chiefs @ Chargers (-10)
The Chargers should win at home, but this spread is way too much for a divisional game.

vs Spread: Chiefs (+10)
Straight Up: Chargers

Eagles @ Cowboys (+4)
The 'boys have returned to respectability since Jason Garrett took over.  The Eagles are in the playoff hunt and need this win more than the Cowboys do.  Mike Vick has been sensational.

vs Spread: Eagles (-4)
Straight Up: Eagles
