NFL Awesome Picks Spectacular Week 10

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
All lines are provided by Sportsbook.ag

Detroit Lions (-2) at Minnesota Vikings
Sunday 1:00

-  The Vikings are in a little bit of a tailspin.  Despite a few games of Ponder trying to prove otherwise, the truth that he blows is out.  Peterson is still an unstoppable beast but without Harvin there are simply not enough weapons for the Vikings to win.

New York Jets (+6) at Seattle Seahawks
Sunday 4:25

- I know, I know - the Jets are a big joke but they aren't as bad as you would think.  They still have some solid people, just not at the skill positions. The Seahawks are coming around somewhat but they still are nothing special.  The Jets may not win this game but they will keep it close enough.

Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles (+2)
Sunday 4:25

- Romo is mud.  He cannot do anything right and even if he has a moment of brilliance he has to overcome Dez Bryant's craziness.  The Eagles have not been winning but they have been moving the ball on offense.  I think they can move the ball better than the Cowboys and the turnovers could be numerous, but the Cowboys are pretty good at turning it over themselves - or just sucking.


Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots (OVER 52.5)
Sunday 1:00

- The Bills and Patriots are giving up 31 and 21 points a game this year along with 800 combined yards.  Offensively, they are scoring 33 and 22 points.  This has shootout written all over it.  The Pats are good at scoring fast and furious and the Bills are good at scoring a lot of points after the game is already over.  I expect a 42-21 point game or something in that neighborhood.

Kansas City at Pittsburgh Steelers (-12)
Monday 8:30

- This is a pure sucker bet but I am all in on it.  I just do not see a way that KC can score many points on one of the better defenses in the league at home on Monday Night. The Chiefs have played three straight games against sub-.500 teams and have lost all three by an average of over 18 points - none of those teams were as good as the Steelers.  This will be what I call a classic Alabama game - you never feel like your are getting crushed but you also know you have no shot to win.  At the end of the game you look at the scoreboard and you just lost 38-6.

Last Week's Results: 2-1-0
Season Results: 17-18-1
