"The Expert" Picks week 13

Last Week--11-5

Season--120-57 (Not including correct pick of the Grey Cup Game)

Thoughts of the past week...

>Giants look to be in total freefall

>Steelers injuries may cause them to not make the playoffs..

>Patriots have playoffs pretty muck locked up but they are very much up & down on offense and defense is just not the same

>Titans are on an amazing run, Colts struggle every week but wins every week, Something has got to give.

>Dolphins turned back to the Mahi Mahi's last week vs Bills

>Jets kept slim playoff hopes alive with a stellar defensive effort

>Other Sports notes, Derek Jeter becomes first yankee ever to become Sports Illustrated's

(Sportsman Of the Year)

>Tiger Woods shows he is human.

>The Grey Cup was a spectacular game, The Game appeared to be over when Damon Duval missed a Field Goal to win at the buzzer, But the Saskatchewan Roughriders were called for too many men (13) on the field, so Duval made it on his 2nd attempt to give Montreal a 28-27 win, What is not reported was that Montreal scored what use to be known as a Rouge now called a single for a kick into the end zone that gave Montreal a single point, The difference in the game was 1 point.

Now the Picks

Thursday Night

Jets--13 @ Bills--10 (Ugly Game that the Paper-Airplanes should win but this is also the type of game they lose most of the time, So I am going with my Heart here)

Sunday

Rams--16 @ Bears 17 (Someone has to win in a match up of a terrible team vs a underachiever)

Bucs--17 @ Panthers--13 (Yucs beat a Panther team that seems to be giving up on its coach and itself)

Texans--10 @ Jags--17 (Jags usually lose a game like this but the Texans seem primed to fall back to a lower level of teams leading to a coaching change and a rebuilding of this team, meanwhile Jones-Drew should have a huge game)

Broncos--17 @ Chiefs--23 (No way the Chiefs should win but the Broncos have almost always lost in KC in December games)

Titans--20 @ Colts 35 (Colts seem to be poised to lose and Titans seem to be on a roll, But The Streak of the Titans ends as the Colts prove that they are an elite team in the AFC)

Eagles--20 @ Falcons--10 (Ryan is out Sunday and Michael Turner is hurting. Eagles make their Playoff pitch)

Raiders--10 @ Steelers--35 (Steelers take out weeks of aggravation on the Raiders)

Lions--13 @ Bengals--31 (Bengals will not choke away this easy win)

Patriots--35 @ Dolphins--16 (Patriots regain some of its swagger at least for one week and Mahi Mahi's will return to the glory days of December Collapses)

Chargers--38 @ Browns--3 (Browns continue to embarrass the city of Cleveland as Chargers continue to soar in December before their Choke job that will come in January)
