NFL Awesome Picks Spectacular

Because we here at Brainfart love us some football, we decided that we would not only be doing college football picks each week, but we would also be doing some NFL picks, too.  So, here is where I make my NAPS (NFL Awesome Picks Spectacular):

Picks are in red

Atlanta Falcons at Kansas City Chiefs (+3)

Sunday 1:00

-Historically, playing at Arrowhead is one of the toughest places to play in the NFL.  There is a lot of hype behind the Falcons because they have great skill players, especially Julio Jones, Roddy White, Matt Ryan, and kind of Micheal Turner and Tony Gonzalez.  That is a lot of fire power and although the Falcons are good, the shine from those players blinds people to the boring lineman and defensive weaknesses.  I think the Chiefs can go run heavy, pound the Falcons, and win a close high scoring game.

Jacksonville Jaguars (+4) @ Minnesota Vikings

Sunday 1:00

-Why is Minnesota a favorite? Did they get a lot better than last year?  I don’t think so – they have a RB who hasn’t been hit since major knee surgery.  Jacksonville is not good but they got MJD back in at least a part-time role and they actually have a respectable receiving crew.  I like them to win outright in an ugly game that no one will watch.

Buffalo Bills @ New York Jets (Under 40.5 Points)

Sunday 1:00

-All signs in this game point to a grind it out, ball control game.  The biggest threat for scoring in this game is big defensive plays form either side.  As long as Fitzpatrick and Sanchez play the part of game manager, the winning team shouldn’t have more than 17 points.

Also, remember from my Wednesday post that I had Cowboys at Giants (-4).  Hopefully, that one turned out well. UPDATE: it didn't.  F-ing Romo.
