Week 13 - 2009 Season - Thursday Night Game

Hello to all! Hope all is well with family, friends and life....

Last week my picks started good and ended mediocre - I went 13 and 3 which actually is very,very good, (total for year is 109 out of 176) it's just my Sunday night went sour on me. But, I did learn that New Orleans is a much better team than what I thought they would be against New Eng. or N. Eng is a much poorer team than we all thought...

That was a game where ppl should have said that New Eng. was being 'manhandled' instead of everyone ganging up on the Colts after their first quarter with Houston. I knew what Houston was trying to do and I also now know what the Colts strategy is in games... kinda of like Mohammad Alis 'rope-a-dope' let the opponent wear themselves out early and than pounce on them in the end...

Only 2 upsets last week which brings us back down to a avg. of 4.5 ea. wk. we also had 1 game that was pegged at 50/50

Thursday Night Game in Toronto, Canada

NY Jets vs Buffalo Bills - Both team came away with wins last week, both QBs looked better and also both defenses look real good. Right at the moment Jets are favored 56-57% to Buffalos 43-44% to win. To me there both pretty much even - with the edge going to Buffalo. Fitzpatrick being the better QB and last 2 weeks him and TO seem to be on the same path. This game will more than likely come down to turn-overs/interceptions. In their earlier meeting Buffalo INT. Sanchez 5 times, while Jets only had 1 against Fitzpatrick. Look for Bills defense to stepped up this week again as they did last week against Miami

Have a good one and I'll be back sometime Friday evening with this weekends picks...
