Week 13 - 2009 Season - Sunday/Monday Games

UPDATE -SUNDAY 11AM

I'm changing my pick prediction on the New Eng. vs Miami game - due to more reading and that Bookies are now pulling the game off the books and the recent rumors of Brady finger being hurt - something is in the air that I'm not liking... So new prediction is Miami 23 - New Eng. 17

Also Tampa Bay vs Carolina is being changed too. I am now picking TB to win with news that RB DeAngelo Williams, WR Dwayne Jarrett, FB Tony Fiammetta and others are all inactive today...


This past Thursday night game didn't go as I suspected it would as the Bills defense lapsed for several minutes in the closing first half which ended up being the difference in the game. As they keep saying you have to play the full 60 and the coaches have to have a starting game, a middle game and an exit game.

My picks to win are in RED -

Philadelphia at Atlanta - If McNabb shows up for this game Philadelphia should do good...

SEE UPDATE ABOVE - - - Tampa Bay at Carolina - Carolina should have game plan in place already for this match-up. Even with Delhomme out it won't matter as this will be a running game to win.

St Louis at Chicago - Here's a up-set - I think St.Louis is going to come in and surprise Mr. Smiths team, which will not be good for him staying at Chicago..

Detroit at Cincinnati - I wish Detroit the best and hope they can pull an up-set off, but I'm not holding my breath...

Denver at Kansas City - Denver has to be on top of game here, because as shown in past KC can get ya and beat you if you let them.

Houston at Jacksonville - Houston is favored in this game - I don't see it happening. Jacksonville plays good at home and I think Houston will be dragging their mental thoughts from a disappointing loss to the Colts last Sunday with them to this game

Tennessee at Indianapolis - Scared is the word here for me, I know it will not be the end of the world if Colts lose but darn I would like to see them go 16 - 0 for the season... We will see how this seasons Colts rope-a-dope playing, plays out against Mr. Fisher, Mr. Young and team...

SEE ABOVE UPDATE ------ New England at Miami - Miami will make it tough but I see NE lasting long enough to win (NE 24 - Miami 16)

New Orleans at Washington - If NO comes into this game with a ho-hum attitude they could end up on the losing end. Washington has nothing to lose and everything to gain with a victory so NO better not be thinking easy come - easy go with Washington...

Oakland at Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh needs to get back in gear and should be able to do so with Oakland in town...

San Diego at Cleveland - Only factor I see here is the COLD might affect SD playing attitude...

Dallas at New York Giants - As you know Eli has a foot problem which is now complicated by a stress reaction, let me post a quote here from Eli - "In the games it doesn't bother me and I don't think about it. This is not something I am overly concerned with," Manning said. "It has been the same for probably the last three to four weeks, it's nothing new. I can go out and practice and do all I need to do." Hello! you've lost 5 of your last 6 games and JUST barely beat Atl. 2 weeks ago.... face it It's a problem for you and the team.

San Francisco at Seattle - Seattle lost the first time round this season and I don't think Seattle has it again this time around.

Sunday Night Game: Minnesota at Arizona - To many problem going on in Warners head and Favre is on a mission this year with a team that can carry that mission through.

Monday Night Game: Baltimore at Green Bay - Baltimore has a problem with teams that have good passing and if GB sticks to the plan and does not try to out run Baltimore they'll come up victors...

Be seeing you, Knobby.........
