Vegas Hags Pigskin Picks

Wow - Another great comeback for the Birds last week! I thought they were cooked, but this team just doesn`t give up. They cannot afford a let down against the Cardinals this week – it`s a must win game. Can they do it? Read on….

Buccaneers (-7 ½) at Bears It`s going to be cold in the windy city this Sunday, and the Bucs are 0-17 in temperatures under 40 degrees. What a bunch of wusses! If they can`t beat the Bears here, they aren`t a real contender.

Bucs by 13

Colts (-6 ½) at Packers Brett Favre continues to play with injuries. I don`t think this guy would sit out if his arm were cut off. Based on how he`s played the last two years, maybe he should consider a rest.

Colts by 7

Bills (+2 ½) at Chiefs This is a big game in the wildcard picture. The Chiefs have stunk up the joint lately; the Bills have been winning ugly. Brad Johnson gets another chance here to show he can win like Flutie, not just put up better stats. Chiefs are too tough at home.

Raiders (-3) at Saints The Aints may be back now that Rickey Wiliams has another boo boo.

Raiders by 7

Panthers (+9 ½) at Vikings

Both of these teams can light it up and the Vikes are clearly the better team. The only question is can the Panthers keep it close? Nah.

Vikings by 13

Bengals (+7) at Patriots Both of these teams suck, but the Pats aren`t quite as bad as the Bungles.

Patriots by 10

Lions (+4 ½) at Giants Can the Giants beat anyone decent besides the Eagles? If they can`t beat this lethargic Lions team that can`t win on the road – forgetaboutit!

Giants by 3

Browns (+16) at Titans The Titans are looking for blood after they blew a game against the Ravens last week. The Brownies will be selling cookies by halftime.

Titans by 20

Chargers (+10) at Broncos Ryan Leaf is back! It doesn`t get any worse than that.

Jets (+3 ½) at Dolphins Can you say revenge? The Dolphins can. No comeback in Miami for Vinny & the Jets this time.

Cowgirls (+7) at Ravens Say goodnight Troy. Aikman retires after he can`t remember his name this week.

Ravens by 9

Falcons (+5 ½) at 49ers The 49ers aren`t half - bad. The Falcons are ¾ bad. Lay the points.

Niners by 7

Jaguars (+3 ½) at Steelers This should be a good one. The Steelers are mad; the Jags should be better than their record indicates. This season`s over for the Jags.

Steelers by 3

Cardinals (+7) at Eagles If the Eagles win here, they have a great shot at the playoffs. 8 wins with the Browns and Bengals left plus games against the Redskins and Titans should get them at least 10 wins. I like the way this team scraps and, at least so far, beats the teams it should. The South Philly chill should also help this week. It could be a close game for a while, but the Birds should prevail.

Eagles by 9

Redskins (+5) at Rams Another good one on MNF! This is getting to be a habit. The Rams speed on their home turf should be enough to get it done, especially if Faulk plays. The Redskins don`t have enough weapons on O (their receivers are as bad as the Eagles) to pull it out.
