Week 15 Pick'em

Season Record: 143 - 65 (#1 vs ESPN Analyst picks)

Dallas @ Tampa Bay
The Cowboys are playing good football, but just can't seem to hold on to a lead.  They've buckled hard in the final minutes over the last 2 weeks.  The Bucs are atrocious and rumours of Raheem Morris being fired will make things very tense in Tampa.

Pick: Cowboys

Miami @ Buffalo
The Bills will give their home fans a treat after really spiralling out of contention the last two months.

Pick: Bills

Seattle @ Chicago
The Bears got Tebowed last week but their defence has been very good since Cutler went out.  This is a must win for their playoff hopes, their at home, it's time.

Pick: Bears

Tennessee @ Indianapolis
Jake Locker will likely get the call for the Titans at quarterback.  I have a sneaking suspicion that the Colts might pull this out, but the Titans D is very good and Chris Johnson should run all over Indy.

Pick: Titans

Green Bay @ Kansas City
Jennings is out for the regular season.  Good thing the Packers 'next man up' is someone as talented as James Jones.

Pick: Packers

Cincinnati @ St. Louis
The Bengals will look to stay alive in the wild card race in St. Louis.  The Rams have been a real disappointment this season.

Pick: Bengals

New Orleans @ Minnesota
Adrian Peterson returns for the Vikings but their secondary has looked atrocious lately.  Drew Brees should close in on Marino's record.

Pick: Saints

Washington @ New York Giants
The Giants have been up and down, but Eli Manning has really impressed me this season.  He has put himself in elite company this year and is playing as well as anyone not named Rodgers.

Pick: Giants

Carolina @ Houston
The Panthers are playing good football, but they are learning how to win still.  The Texans have their sites set on a playoff bye.

Pick: Texans

Detroit @ Oakland
Suh returns for the Lions in a must-win game for both teams.  Should be a battle in Cali.

Pick: Lions

New England @ Denver
Expect Tom Brady to have his foot on the gas pedal from the start as it appears the only way to beat Tim Tebow is to put the game out of reach by the time the 4th quarter rolls around.

Pick: Patriots

New York Jets @ Philadelphia
The Jets are in the fight of their lives for a playoff berth.  Their run game has come on strong lately.  Philly has enough talent to beat anyone at any time.

Pick: Jets

Cleveland @ Arizona
McCoy may be out.  Zona has played much better the last few weeks knocking off some great teams in the 49ers and Cowboys.

Pick: Cardinals

Baltimore @ San Diego
The Ravens get Ray lewis back this week and Suggs has been playing at an MVP level the last month.  The Chargers always play better late in the season, but their offensive line is in for a tough day.

Pick: Ravens

Pittsburgh @ San Francisco
Ben Roethlisberger is a true warrior and I can't imagine he misses this game.  If he's out I might revise the pick but if he's in, I'll take the Steelers.

Pick: Steelers
